So, classes have started! Five online classes, and all have quite a bit of required reading. What was I thinking again?? Oh, yeah, I was thinking I need to torture myself, because I can never do things the easy way. No, really, I can't. Just ask my mom!
And in addition to the craziness of my first week of online classes, I have been delving deeper into the world of Cloth Diapering. Yes, I stalk Diaperswappers.com regularly, and get oh so excited when I spot a Goodmamas at a good price, or a new Clover with adjustable legs! My pulse rate increases, my hands get a little sweaty and I frantically try to do the math to see if I can swing this purchase without causing a bill to bounce. And then there are the fabulous websites/blogs of The Cloth Diaper Whisperer and Cloth Diaper Addiction, both of whom have give-away contests for random diapers! I keep entering and praying that I win, long shot that it is. But I really want to expand my stash, and get rid of all velcro! I'm tired of it tearing clothes apart. So, I stalk and lurk and talk to my friends, and completely obsess about it... all the things I usually do when I get an idea into my head. My poor DH really is starting to get worried!
And on the weight loss front, things seem to be going well on the scale, despite my best efforts to change that! I am slowly starting to fail at the good habits I had going, like tracking everything I eat and staying within my Weight Watchers daily points, and even writing positive comments daily to keep me motivated. Each week I keep expecting to lose less or even gain, but then I end up losing 4 lbs in a week (as happened this last week), and I'm shocked! But my total weight loss is 18 lbs! I'm so close to my 10% goal of 22 lbs, I can taste it. I'm hoping that I will taste weight loss this week rather than all the cheats I've had, because I have made it through my first week of the Couch to 5K plan. Yes, I have decided to start running again, but on my own terms! When I was in the Army, it was pure hell; torture of the worst kind (and I should know! I was an Interrogator). And now that I'm out, I guess the masochistic side of me just misses it. However, this is a great program for non-runners, since you start VERY SLOWLY, and build each week at your own pace. I'm doing this with a non-runner friend, and we seem to be making progress. And I love that running is a great way to really increase cardio and get my big butt moving, and it shows great results at the scale! Even with all the Army related injuries that refuse to go away, I am actually having fun running! My god, who knew??
