Hey everyone! Is 2011 still going your way? Now that my final holiday obligation is out of the way, it is definitely going well for me. I was clocking down in the mid-204's this week, and even after a very salt and carb-heavy weekend I was down at 205.0 this morning. Honestly, given my weight patterns, I have often thought about moving my weigh day to the middle of the week, as it is when I am lowest. But the accountability of Monday being my official weigh in (and therefore making weekend indulgence much less attractive) beats out any halfnpound benefit I tend to get on Wednesday or Thursday. Weekends are hard enough to maintain my normal eating schedlenon, without me treating it like a free day :)

No exercise progress to report, I'm just chugging along with my daily activities and doing the best I can. Unfortunately Seth is being a bit resistant to a time-based schedule. He does the basic routine (eat, play, sleep) very well, and even in predictable increments of time, but given the variability in when he wakes up some mornings I can't get him down reliably at all the times I'd like too, including during my exercise block. I've also been spending that block of time doing other things, like cooking and practicing piano. So right now my schedule is in a bit more flux than I'd like and that is contributing to my laziness in getting strength training done. It's a reason, but not an excuse.

Overall I am doing well each day, a little lazier than I'd like. I am somehow busy and not getting a lot done, again. Some of that is lax personal discipline, but the bulk of it has just been the nature of our family activities the past month. It won't get much better until February, but I am doing what I can each day to stick to my routine and keep things as regulated as possible. It makes me happier to have a predictable, solid routine. I'm 80% there again, which isn't bad for three months postpartum, but the perfectionist in my wants to go that last 20% before I declare myself 'good' with my time.

How are you all managing your time (and exercise) in this new year?
