Weigh In

I weighed in today and was pleasantly suprised.  I have lost 3 pounds since my last weigh in.  I know that's not much for the amount of time it has been, but it's still the right direction.  As of today, I'm 246.

Meli got her books in yesterday finally.  Today was the first day of 2 kids with full curriculum.  It went pretty well.  They are both having to learn to be patient since I can't help them both at the same time.  Also, with the other 3 thrown in the mix, we get some occational gaps.  I'm sure it will get easier as we go along though.  So far, so good, lol.

Note that it's a Friday night and I'm online typing away.

How Do You Milk A Soy?

I know I have not done well lately about keeping my blog updated and my weight loss on track.  I am really trying but well, life happens so fast sometimes.

First, we have found that Tabi has a milk allergy.  When I consume dairy, she spits up tons.  So, I am now officially off cow milk and on soy.  It's an interesting taste.  I can't say yet that I like it, but then again, I can't say that don't.  It's an odd flavor.  I found that I don't care much for the original flavor but the vanilla isn't too bad.  And, the up side is that it is much lower in calories than milk.

I haven't had soda at all in days.  Instead I have been drinking water and unsweet tea.  I am having the tea hot with a little soy milk or non-dairy creamer and Splenda in the morning.  I am also drinking water, lots and lots, which I completely hate!  Still, I try.

I haven't been working out or weighing in like I should as I have been adjusting to the flow of 2 homeschoolers.  Meli still hasn't gotten her books so I have been finding print outs and stuff like that online for her since she left Maud.  However, I have been told that her books are shipped and they should be here on Thursday.  We can hardly wait! 

I have made exercise a priority again and did 20 minutes of Zumba today.  I could really tell I have been slacking because that 20 minutes just about did me in.  I am pledging to stay on it and do at least 20 minutes every day.  I just have to do it for me. 

Well, I guess that about updates everything for now.  I have to get ready Scouts tomorrow as I am an assistant to our troup and handle activities with the Daisy girls (since I have 2 this year).  We are currently working on learning our songs and I still don't know them all, lol.  I'll check in again soon.  I definately will be weighing in on Friday and promise to post no matter how good or bad the results may be.
