The Girls get sent to their rooms and it's weigh-in time again!

Dean cleaned the junk out of the third bedroom and created a playroom for the girls this past week. They loved it, but it won't be a playroom long. We're putting their beds in separate rooms soon because separate beds just aren't cutting it any longer. Claudia wakes up in the middle of the night (takes after her mom, what can I say?) and hits and yells at Nadine until she wakes her up, too. As a result we have two very upset children in the morning because Nadine's learned to wake Claudia's grumpy butt up a couple hours early in retribution. Aack! They're growing up too fast for me. :(

Jasmine did her first really bad thing since we got her in February: She chewed through a telephone line, 2 network cables, and the power cord for the girls' laptop. Dean built something to keep her out from under the desk in the kitchen, so it shouldn't happen again. She's usually so good about using her chew toys that I don't know what got into her.

I had another weigh-in with Weight Watchers today, and I've lost 3.2 pounds for a total of 16.2 pounds lost in 8 weeks. I'm no longer getting the messages that I'm losing too fast, and I'm still on track to have my 10% goal of 244.6 met by my birthday at the end of June. My goal is to be under 200 pounds by the end of the year. They are conservative goals, but I think I can be happy if all I do is barely meet them, you know?

Things have been chaotic to say the least and I haven't been on my exercise ball once since Dean came home, but I'm still eating right and working the treadmill. With all of the rearranging going on in the house I just don't have the open space for the exercise ball right now. It makes me a bit sad as I really love it, but it just motivates me to get going with the organizing so I can use the ball.
