First we’ll start with the weigh in.  I must absolutely recommend adding more children to help with weight loss.  I am really hard pressed to find time to eat and to prepare food.  I know this isn’t ideal, but I have been lucky enough to prepare leftovers of healthy food to be eaten.  I have not been as diligent in counting points, etc., but I know that I haven’t been going over on points.  I am down another 1.4 lbs this week for a 7 week total of 10.8lbs.  I am happy and content with the rate of weight loss.  I have come to accept that fast is not good and that slow and steady really does win the race.  I have 14.2lbs to lose before September 27th–which is 10 weeks away.  At my current rate, I should make it by then.  Yay!  I just to have to stay committed and on track.  Thanks for all the support.

Peepers is sleeping more/better.  There are touch and go moments and still bouts of crying for an hour or so because she is so tired but can’t fall asleep–but she is now managing 3+ hour stretches at a time.  It is amazing how little sleep you can get by with it you get to have your 90 minute cycles of sleep.  She is still gaing weight at a fast pace she is .2lbs away from 15lbs–which puts her at nearly 3lbs gained in 3 weeks.  She is growing and changing and is relatively happy–but boy does this girl want to get in on the action.  She gets so mad that she can’t crawl and even more mad that she can’t stand and walk.  She’ll be walking too soon for my liking.
