Sponsor my weightloss!

OK, I am totally stealing this idea from our cousin, but I am desperate for the motivation. Heidi, if you have any blogging pointers on how you set yours up, let me know!
So... after several months of "trying" to lose weight, I have only lost about 10 pounds. I have lost about 15 inches, but I feel like I still have a ways to go. So, here's how it works. I am still hoping to lose about 25-30 pounds (20 at the very least!). I need people to sign up for a specific pound they would like to sponsor. It can be any pound (unless someone elses takes it first!) and anything you want. It can be as big or as small as you would like, but please try to make the motivational when you can. (Taking me out the Cheesecake Factory when I hit 15 doesn't count!) I am just looking for the extra motivation. I have started working out again this week. I am really committed and serious about getting back in shape. It isn't JUST about the weight to me, it's really much more about being healthy and having my clothes fit again. I also wouldn't mind having to find a few new items for the ol' wardrobe! Please help me out guys! Thanks in advance for your (hopefully) shrinking friend!

p.s. I'm stealing another idea from Heidi's blog... I am totally gonna try the coconut oil your friend told you about! Dang! I just got home from Walmart too!

First tooth - and other updates.

Well, amongst other things Colton cut his first little tooth today! I am excited because he has been a drool monster for the past few months. He has been the best teether so far too. Other than the constant drool machine he hasn't made any more of a fuss than normal - which is minimal to say the least. I can NOT believe that he is already 6 months old. My how time flies when you are too busy to care!
I have officially started back to work now. I have been picking up a few hours in the child care center as well, trying to make ends meet. My boss wants me to change up my schedule a bit too, so, I'm trying to decide what will work best for my family - both financially and physically. So far, all the kids are handling the transition pretty well. I am finding myself having to be more and more structured with my time. I am still on the learning curve of this planning ahead gig. I find myself constantly checking the clock and assessing what else I have to do before we head out the door. Diapers, wipes, extra outfits, snacks, a sack lunch/dinner, cell phone, getting myself looking presentable, then the kids, etc. So much so that I have become so wrapped up in work stuff that I have let other plans I have made go by the wayside unintentionally. I get so frustrated with myself when I don't remember 100% of the 2 dozen things on my plate at any given moment. Just wait until Rory starts school full-time, or recreational sports. (Sigh!)
Oh! and I have been called to teach the CTR 8 class at church. Last week was my first week teaching and I think I might possibly have THE best class in the primary. The kids were all so eager to answer questions and tell stories. I love 'em already!
To wrap up the whole week I am taking my Reiki Master class tomorrow. I am excited to have something new to add to my list of modalities I can do. I really enjoyed the first two portions of the course. I'd say my only regret with it is that I didn't do it earlier. I also really like that they make most of their classes available to the public. You don't have to be a licensed massage therapist to take them. Here's the link to their website if anyone is interested in picking up a trick or two. www.alternativehealingconnection.com or www.how2heal.com works as well.
