Aweigh Week 5- Monday get my butt in gear edition

Okay, the sickie week is over. I think. I hope. Regardless, I need to get back into the exercising habit. I've fallen off the wagon so to speak and I need to get back at it.

But before I get too carried away, let's finish up the business from last week! The winner of that fabulous handmade tote from Bikini at Pantsfreesia is...Guinevere! I will send Bikini your address so she can ship it out to you. Congrats! I'll admit I'm jealous.

So back to this week...let's start out with the prize, just to get us motivated. This week's prize is sponsored by Chicken Scratch: Vegan Bath and Body Products. All of her products are vegan, and new products & spring scents will be arriving soon! And if you have something special in mind, custom orders are appreciated.
She's offering up a white tea and ginger soy massage candle to our winner this week! Go check out her shop and add her as a favorite if you're already on etsy. She has some great stuff!
So, back to the actual work of this. I think I've gained about 4 lbs over the weekend, which essentially nullifies my loss last week. I went out to eat with @Sandy, and Kara and another friend of ours who is wisely not online much. We ate Mexican and it was delicious but I ate every bit of the food on my plate (which is always too much!) because I was ravenous. And, it was tasty. And I was out with zero children after a long week of three children constantly.
And once again with the excuses, I know. But. This week I return to exercising. No more using sick kids as an excuse. M will have her surgery and be out of commission for 2 weeks. I need to exercise despite that. I can do it. I need to do it.
I want to be able to see a noticeable difference in my appearance by the end of this challenge. I do, so I need to do the work. We do have 10 weeks left, so if we lose 1 pound a week we could still lose 10 lbs each by the end. That's huge...and would make us not so huge.
Let's do it. I know we can. What are you doing this week to make the change possible?

Well, I didn't weigh in last week b/c I was giving the prize (although, I probably could have and just told you not to award it to me!). But I neither gained nor lost, so there's that. I will definitely weigh in this week!
