Oh, wait! Make that nine pounds!
Actually it seems to change each time I step on the scale.
Okay, so maybe my scale isn't really reliable, but I do believe I have lost something this week, even if I can't put an exact number on it. It still makes me feel pretty good about my progress. And it makes me think that maybe I need a different scale. Any maybe all that pouting last week was all for not.
Isn't it interesting how quickly your mood/outlook can change?
Another new motivator is that I just bought a new set of changeable weights. They are the kind that go from 5-55 pounds in 2.5 pound increments, so I won't need to be buying new weights every few weeks as I get stronger. And I really feel like I was getting the most out of my workout by using them too. You are supposed to be lifting enough weight to reach fatigue in 6-8 reps, and I really couldn't do that with the weights that I was using. But yesterday, after using my new weights I could tell that I had really exhausted my muscles, which means that I will build new muscle much more quickly. AWESOME! The best part about these weights is I saved about $150 by buying them off of Craigslist. Woo hoo!
Riley is getting more and more mobile everyday, and he isn't just happy with army crawling he wants to STAND. He is most happy if you will just assist him with walking all around the house over and over again, but he will put up with being able to stand supported by some piece of furniture.
In not such great baby news, he is currently boycotting his wonderful 2 hour 11:00 nap. Oh how I miss it!! Where did it go? Why is the only constant with babies change, and why did this, of all things, have to change? It was what kept me sane. My all important "me-time". A chance to workout, and shower, and get ready for the day, and sometime even fit in time to compile a grocery shopping list or read a few paragraphs in my current novel. Will it come back? This is what I really want to know.

Good job exercising! You are my hero.
Pretty sure I have lost all of Rosie's naps. She has pushed her afternoon nap from 1:00 all the way to 4:30 or 5 because she's just not tired. Then she sleep too late for bed time. I'm going to try going napless for a few days and see what happens. I'm afraid that one, or both, of us will go crazy.
Oh Bliss. I'm sorry to hear about Rileys premature rebelion. I love your blog. It's so nice to read about what is going on.
PS I'm jealous of your new weights. They seem AWESOME! Let's get extreme baby!
Hooray for your awesome success!! I really needed to read this today. I weighed myself this morning and had some horrible news. But it is true what you day your mood changes from positive to defeated and back again so quickly. I am so jealous of your weights, what brand are they? Did you try moving nap/bedtimes to see if you could reclaim the nap? It has been really effective for me in the past.
