A Weekend Away

I am so excited to be headed out of town this weekend...it's been so long! Even though Ian is coming with me it's still going to be good to get a mini-vacation. Not that taking Ian is bad, but it just takes twice as long to get ready and get going with an infant. But when he's this cute, I can't be too upset;) (I know, I'm a dork, I just can't help it! I am a little bit in love with him:)

I love this boy so much! I'll tell you, I am only going for 2 days and my trunk looks like Babies R Us threw up in it. I never would have imagined that having a child would make it so treacherous to travel...have to get the stroller, the pack and play, the play mat, toys, clothes, diapers, etc. etc. and I am sure I am forgetting things too. Whew, I am exhausted and I haven't even gotten my own things together yet!!

So tomorrow is weigh-in day...I have to see if I met Karen's 10 pound challenge! I am so excited...I've been perfect with my eating; I am really trying to not only follow my points but also make my choices healthy ones. I've really been eating a lot of fruits and veggies and more whole grains, less (white) carbs and processed foods. More water. So far I'm feeling pretty good. I'm going on 3 weeks now and I am so proud! I've struggled for a long time to even stick with something for even a day or two, so this is a big accomplishment for me. And I am going to keep at it! My goal for this weekend is to not go crazy:) I plan to loosen up for just the two days I'm there but still overall to try and make healthy choices and normal portions. Luckily it's Karen that I am staying with so I know I'll have her to help. I'm actually excited to see the scale in the morning! It's been really challenging but when it gets rough I just take time and think about my son, and what I want for him...how I want so badly for him to be healthy and for ME to be healthy for him AND for myself. I am going to succeed...even if it takes me a couple years...I am going to do this.

Hope everyone has a great weekend:)
