why did i wait so long?

so, this week was pretty good.  I ate right and worked out 4 times so far. monday I missed my spin class, so I took a run.  tuesday was my cycle circuit class. I was sort of disappointed because the instructor that usually teaches this class (who I LOVE) has stoped teaching this class. so we had a new instructor. she did it totally different. Of course, sometimes change is good. so, i have to try to look on the bright side.  The instructor that I like still teaches mondays spin class and body pump, so its not like i’ll never have her again, but still…it sucks.  wednessday I had my sister join me in my spin class!! I love it when someone I know can come to one of my classes.  It just makes me feel accomplished to have someone actually be able to see how far i’ve come. she was just amazed at how well I did :D  I was so happy to be able to work out with her. I wish she could come to my gym all the time, but she lives about 45 minutes away.  She made my head swell a bit, but it felt nice.

so, the other day my little boy (he’s 10 ) weighed himself.  he has gained quite a bit of weight this summer.  He is a chubby little fart ;)  He has my genes (poor guy).  at 10 yrs old, he weighs 141 lbs!! the last time he was in the 120’s (which i thought was too high) but now its getting really scary!  I just dont want him to have a hard time at school with kids being cruel to him. I want his life to be happy, and of course I want him to be healthy! I know that this is a hard subject, because I also dont want him to be a fanatic about his weight, or feel that I am being overly judgemental or nagging about it. So, i just touched on the subject a little bit. I told him that he just needs to be more active and try not to eat as much junk food as he usually does. Im sure ( being young) that the weight will come off easy if he just does these few things.  I want him to drink more water and less soda and cool aid too.  so, I am getting him his own water bottle and starting to take him on walks/ jogs/ and bike rides on my evenings off.  Any suggestions with how to go about sliming him down would be appreciated.  I just dont want him to have issues with his weight like I do, but i also dont want him to be overly worried about losing weight either.  I just want the best for him, ya know.  And buying clothes for him has become such an ordeal.  I can’t find clothes that fit him at all!! If they fit his waist, they are too long! its so annoying. I am going to old navy this year in hopes that I may have better luck.  even the walmart husky brands are too small (and there isn’t much selection).  ugh….
