Well, posting my food intake on my blog wasn’t really working out for me. As you  probably noticed since I haven’t posted in a week.

But don’t think that I’ve given up on my fitness challenge. In fact, I stepped up the ante. I bit the bullet and joined Weight Watchers. I’ve been to my first weigh-in/meeting and gotten my daily points allotment. So now every Thursday (weigh-ins) I’ll be wearing the lightest clothes I can find in my closet! I think I have about 13 more to lose to meet my goal and my plan is to do it by April 1. If I meet my goal with WW and I maintain within 2 lbs for 6 weeks, then I get to be a ‘lifetimer’ and I will get to use all the WW tools for free!

I’ve been sick this week, so my exercise has suffered and I feel weak. But I’m drinking lots of fluids and staying under my daily WW points (I get a few extra since I’m breastfeeding). But that won’t last long as my plan is to be completely weaned by Christmas.

Well, as I’m losing – WEjr is growing! I can’t believe how big he is. He loves to try to stand on his own, check himself out in the mirror, babble (mostly ‘da-da’ right now), bang on the piano, and get into the cupboards. He has 4 teeth already and has bit me a couple times. We put the living room furniture as a barrier around the Christmas tree and so far he hasn’t figured out how to break the barrier. He’s got a Christmas countdown in teething rings and can’t wait to see his cousins on Christmas day.

WE and I went to a Kristin Chenoweth ’concert’ this week at the Nasher Sculpture Center. Turns out it was not a concert (she didn’t sing) but rather a KERA interview. It was very interesting and quite the quaint setting (probably less than 150 people there). She talked about her childhood, career, life philosophy, etc. I learned that she is adopted, part native american, trained in classic opera, and grew up in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. She even told about a time when her dad took her to Woolaroc in Bartlesville and how the only thing to do as a kid growing up was go to Sonic!
