Commitment Issues & Weigh in #2

Alright!
I want to make my weigh in days on Thursdays but I weighed on Monday anyway and the result was baffling. It helped that I had only eaten one meal prior to the workout, but that didn't help with the whole weight loss I hope! Anyway, I'll show you what I mean:

Starting weight: 184.4
Current weight: 182

The first weigh in I had gained and was exactly 185. I lost three pounds? So THIS is progress I guess. Hope to keep it up! I probably won't be able to make it back to the gym this week, so I went ahead and documented Monday's results.

Last September I started to teach Zeke how to read. It didn't work out because he was not ready.We took a break, we started back up and he is excelling! It is amazing what a couple months can do for a child's development. That and I was not pregnant and hormonal...
Got a video. Have to tell you a couple things first. He kept trying to jump ahead and read the story, and I kept holding him back to do the rest of the lesson first. By the time I took the video, he'd read it a couple times and wasn't in the mood to perform for the camera. So, not exactly what I was hoping to record for the histories, but oh well. Zeke has a paperclip chain. One paperclip for each lesson he completes. It is a goal to be able to take the paperclip off the chain, placing it in a bowl. Every ten paperclips, there is a reward, and I hope the reward for the completion of the lessons will be that he gets to pick a brand new book. We will see. I think it is a good idea! :-)


Last night after bath time, Reid came to me in his towel to get help into his pj's. He was dripping a little from himself, and said, "Poop!" I asked him if he needed to pee, and after he confirmed it I asked if he wanted to try it in the potty. He agreed so I ran him to the bathroom and he peed in the toilet! Perhaps I will not wait so long to train him. But that is where my post title comes in: Commitment Issues! I'll admit it. I have it. But am willing to get over it if it means saving on money for diapers! I am just impressed that he had that much bladder control when he told me he had to go.

So proud of my kids!!
