Who Knew?

Seriously, who knew I could be so competitive about points?  On Wednesday night this week I realized I was crazy about points.  At 11 pm I still needed 10 more mins. of exercise and to do 20 mins. of gospel study (my personal goal for the week).  My baby Quinn was fussy and having a hard time.  I laid down by Quinn and read scriptures, as soon as he was asleep I jumped out of bed and quietly started lifting weights in my dark bedroom.  I made it 5 mins. before he woke up crying.  I jumped back into bed so we wouldn't wake my husband up, got him calmed down and then jumped out of bed to finish my crunches and weights...at this point it was midnight...then I started praying my boys would sleep in the next morning so I could get my sleep point.  I kept giggling to myself about how insane and funny this was...when I got back in bed my husband looked at me like I was nuts...but I got my full points!

Right now I feel really motivated, I feel like I am working hard, I feel like I want to just try an insane crash diet and lose 10 lbs. a week.  Then I remember I am nursing a baby and I can't, I need to do this slow and steady and be healthy about it.  In the past I've had a hard time losing weight this early after having a baby, so I'm trying to feel good about even small losses.  

I'm trying to remember this is a journey, not a sprint.  I appreciate that many of you have been on this journey a long time and are now really close to your ultimate goal weights, it inspires me to not give up and just keep going.    

As for all the water this week...I'm just hoping I don't drown.

If you haven't seen this video...2:20 starts the "water, water, water, water, water, yeah" (this part has been in my head today)!  I think I'll be singing it all week.
