I think my scale is lying to me.  It is lying to me in order for me to not stand on it for more than 2 seconds...I figure it is thinking "lie to her so she gets her fat butt off of me!"  Ha.  No, seriously, gained 5# then the very next day lost 3#?  What?  So I figure it just wanted to give me a boost of self confidence.  I think you can get these scales at Target...
My whole work out every day for 30 minutes is actually working.  I kind of figured that if I said that I would do something every day I may reach my 3 days a week goal.  This way if things come up or exhaustion creeps back in - well - I haven't waited until Sunday to do my 3 days worth of working out. 
And the eliptical is back in working condition.  Ahhhh....
So far we have had one dinner at (or near) the dinner table - no tv....just a book and the computer...hmmm...maybe have to work on that one.  However, we did manage to touch base on a few things.  It was actually quite nice.  Who knew you could eat without hgtv?
Tonight - well - I was tired.  Baby boy was up at 1am instead of 3am and it just screwed me up.  Plus my 2 quad lattes didn't help either.  Although I did crash but then couldn't sleep from 1 until about 4am...
By the way - I just remembered something that really helped me get back into shape at one time - running or walking or biking for only 20 minutes.  You start out slow and then every minute you build up to a higher intensity until you reach 18 minutes and this should be your highest then you start back down for 2 min.  It burns more than walking or running or biking for 30 minutes.  I completely believe in this as this is what our trainer in college would do for our workouts.  It was a constant build up of intensity and then worked our way back down.  So - this is something that I am going to do differently the rest of the week.  I figure 20 minutes - no problem. 
Good luck over T-day!  Remember - small portions.  You'll thank yourself!
