Weight loss update

OK. I am a little bummed. I lost 10 pounds in two weeks during phase one of South Beach (not an easy two weeks!). Then I was laid up on the couch for a week thus gaining back two pounds. Now I have 12 pounds to lose. So today I started my "new" routine. It isn't very new since I usually try this routine every few months and then something happens to ruin the routine. So now I get up when Steve does, go for a quick, brisk walk, shower, do my bible study and pray...all hopefully before the kids get up. Emma was up when I walked back through the front door and so I gently explained to her that this was mommy's time. I would get her a bowl of cereal, turn on what ever cartoon is on PBS and she could just chill for the next hour until I was finished praying. She did very well and mommy barely accomplished her routine...but I did it! One day down...hundreds to go!
