Week 12, Day 1

I've pretty much given up for this round of the diet contest, however, we are very close to getting our sleep back at night and Grace will be going to bed at 8:00 every night, so I see a possibility of "me time" in the future.

This week, I'd like to re-evaluate my goals and set new, more realistic ones. Also after spending the weekend with my "skinny" friends who have both lost over 10 pounds and my 7 1/2 month pregnant friend that still weighs less than I did before I ever got pregnant, I think I'll be set with some new motivation.

I have been weighing in, however. Last Sunday, I was up 1 pound at 158.5. This week, down 1/2 to 158.0 for a total loss of 4.5 pounds. Not impressive, but better than nothing. I'd like to double that (at least) in the next 12 weeks before our July weekend. I've got some adorable baby swimsuits, and I'd like to at not be too embarrassed to have one on as well.
