I'm slipping

I was doing so well in so many aspects of my life, but I have been slipping lately. First some of you may have noticed my weight loss ticker at the bottom and how it hasn't moved in a while. I was doing a biggest loser competition. I did great the first 4 weeks and lost 10 pounds and then nothing the next four weeks. I hit a little plateau and after not loosing anything for a couple of weeks I started to loose motivation. The competition ended and I even had less motivation. The only good thing is that along with that 10 pounds I lost a pants size. I need to loose another pant size to fit into some of my old pants and 2 sizes to fit into all my nice lucky pants I wore in college. I got married and over my first 2 years went up 3 pants sizes how sad. I am determined to get back down so I am joining another biggest loser competition which starts on April 1st if you want to join us let me know it is $20 and the winner gets all the money.
The other thing I have been slipping in is having a perfectly clean house. The showings on our house have started to be further and further apart making me less motivated to clean the house every night I really need to get back in the habit because I know my day is so much better when I wake up to a clean house and my husband is so much less stress when he comes home to a clean house and a nice dinner. Maybe I should get off my butt and clean while my baby is sleeping, but this is the only time I can do stuff on the computer without her pushing all the buttons.
So here is to new motivation. Wish me luck. By the time we leave Iowa I want to be 30 pounds lighter and the perfect clean freak wife.

It's great that you are making goals, but I hope that when you fall short, you are not too hard on yourself. It seems to me that you do a whole lot of good for your family!

I am actually working on the weight loss myself - so if you want some moral support, ideas, etc. check out my blog from time to time! I have 60 lbs. to lose. Good luck, determination, and support to us both!
