22.5!

I'd would just like to brag a little. As of today I've lost 22.5 pounds! (and yes the .5 is important) I can't believe I am actually doing this! I am the worst dieter on the face of the earth. I've been doing really good with the gym, too. I go at least 3 times a week, usually 4. Going to the gym has actually been my savior this winter. Allison & Bridget love to go to the Kids Klub there and even though Erin has caused them a lot of trouble, she is getting much better and doesn't cry at all anymore. The only thing that sucks is that I somehow hurt my right knee so it kills to run. Very, very annoying since I was really getting into running. I was up to 6 miles. But I think that I'll have to stick with the cross trainer till my knee feels better.

I must admit that Erin's milk allergy helps me immensely with the dieting. Everything that I love has dairy in it-cheese, ice cream, chocolate-so that's a lot of calories that I just can't eat since I'm nursing her. But I'm also being really good about not snacking during the day. It's tough, but I have my mind made up to do it. I'll try to update weekly how I'm doing. I think it will help to be a little bit accountable.

Go me!
