Two Score and Five Pounds ago!

Do you like the title? I thought I needed to pay tribute to one of our greatest American Presidents! :)

I need to find a little motivation. We have the biggest loser challenge at work and I've tried to get excited about it, but other things keep distracting me (sick kids --so fast meals-- my birthday --so lots of treats-- valentines day --eating out and treats-- etc). So I thought if I posted an inspirational picture, maybe I would kick back into gear. I realize after two kids I might not get back to the before kids figure, but I should be alot closer to this picture then I am! My "baby" will be two in April, there really isn't any excuse for the extra pounds at this point. So I need to rededicate myself to this worthy goal - getting healthy! I have lost a couple pounds so far, but its a little daunting to think about how much further I need to go.

Of course, this next week I have a conference that I am going to over three days -- thats never easy! The hotel will probably have a work out room, but I'm not really excited about the idea of working out with a bunch of people I might possibly see while I'm presenting my segment at the conference or again in open court! And the meals while you travel are rarely healthy, so this week is going to be a challenge!

I should start my power point presentation before it gets too much later. I will try to update on my weight loss progress (I typically write about the girls, so its strange to dedicate an entire blog post to ME!).

And since I mentioned my girls I will say that Alyssa is sick again -- vomiting since Thursday. Her stomach is so sensitive. I think she was on the mend, but we gave her milk today -- probably too soon and too much, so it all came back up and we now have issues with the other end as well since she hasn't really eaten much the last few days. Ugg! We have done so much laundry in the last few days I'm surprised my washing machine doesn't groan whenever I pass it. So far Katelyn hasn't come down with it, but we did manage to "share" this little present with Grandma (sorry Grandma!). Hopefully Alyssa is feeling better tomorrow so we can go to the Zoo in the morning. -- ok that took a few minutes, now I really need to start putting together my presentation! Enough procrastinating!
