I lost 2.8 lbs this week. Woot! I went to the weigh-in, but didn't feel like staying for the meeting. Today was another rough day (nap wise) for Scout, so I just wanted to sit alone in a coffee shop doing nothing during the time that I would've been at the meeting.
I feel like I've not been myself lately...like that sort of bitchiness and weirdness that happens post-partum. I'm just gonna go ahead and blame it on hormones or something. That's the only explanation I can think of. When I couldn't get Scout to nap today, I sat and cried and belly-ached to DH. I'm a blithering idiot. I have the best baby in the world. I love staying at home with her and I am extremely blessed. But I guess I've just reached some sort of breaking point. I need to take more time for myself. I need to somehow find the time to exercise and to actually put on something other than my pajamas....oh yeah, and to bathe. When I was having my little breakdown this afternoon, DH suggested I call Pretend Grandma to come relieve me. (DH was working, or I'm sure he would've offered...erm...maybe) I ALMOST called her, but I talked myself back down to normal and didn't feel like I needed to bug Pretend Grandma just because I was being mental. Plus, I think she's going to come over and watch Scout for us on Saturday, so I don't want to take advantage of her generosity.
Anyway, I'm better now. The weigh-in sure did help too!
I wish I knew a way to just post a screen shot of my Weight Watchers e-tools points tracker dealie so I didn't have to type this all out. Here is everything I ate today:

Yay!!! That's almost 3 pounds!!! That's so awesome...
oh and btw, you gave more ideas of what to eat during the day! The turkey wrap sounds yummy. =)
Screen capture- pres "print screen" button on your keyboard, then open a paint program and save it there. You can upload into Blogger just like a regular pic you've saved on your computer. I should start doing that with my WW etools too.
