Week 3 gone!

So, today was weigh in day! I am OFFICIALLY in the 250's! It might just be in the 250's (I am at 259.0 today!) Down 2.2 pounds again this week making it 15 pounds total in 3 weeks! I am so excited. Who would have thought something like this (more exercise/less food) would be making me happy and actually excited for more?! I have always been over weight and hated exercising. Maybe I was just doing the wrong kind of exercises. Or, maybe I just wasn't in the place (mentally) where I needed to be when doing it. If I keep losing like I am (around 2 pounds a week) I can SO make my goal of 30 pounds by my birthday (or maybe even Thanksgiving!) I am already half way there! With reaching the 259 mark, I made it to my second mini goal! My next mini goal is another 15 pounds which is also by my birthday goal. I can't wait to be able to mark that as reached!

We have been riding our bikes a lot more lately and and actually going up a bit of a hill on our way. The first time, I snailed it the whole way up. I did make it all the way up though so that's what matters! Second time, I made it half way up going good and just had to snail it the other half up. I did start the 30 day shred last week as well but only doing it every other day. I didn't want to get too sore starting off by doing it every day. The first day, I was dying around the middle of it. By the second time though I was doing pretty good the whole way through! Even did a lot better in the push ups and jumping jacks. :o)

On another note:
This week is going to be full of walking. Kyle has his Twilight camp all week from 5pm-9pm and I am one of the den leaders that take the boys to all their different stations and do everything with them. I am excited. We have to think of something to do for the egg launch. Have to try to protect it from not breaking when it it launched across the field! Last year both of ours broke. We will see about this year! He had tons of fun last year at camp. I am sure this year is going to be just as fun. What's not to love about cooking, building, crafts, and learning cool things?! Jacob is excited because he is going to go in the "tag-along" area which we have been calling "playschool" like Caillou goes to. He is going to get to have Miss Naomi (another scouts mom) as his "teacher". We are hoping that he will stay there this year. Last year he wouldn't. But then again he was only 2 last year and he didn't really know Naomi then like he does now. I think I am actually looking forward to it as much as the boys are. I get to learn lots of fun things to do also! :o) This coming week is also Kyle's last week of Discovery Camp. So, his Monday and Wednesday's will be full! He does Discovery Camp from 9:30a-3:30p and then Twilight from 5-9p! He is going to have to miss the Discovery camp family night which is the last one of the summer which has him a bit down because it is Thursday during Twilight camp hours. He will be fine though once he is at Twilight camp having fun. Plus, there will be more family nights during the school year for them.

So, here is to a great week at both camps, and a great week on the scale! I am already excited and wanting next Sunday to come so I can see what the scale says! I am going to try to do the 30 day shred every day this week!
