How many points are mexican jumping beans?

So S brought home a new pet yesterday from school. One I have heard lots about. She named him "Jumpy" and I must say it fits. In class her teacher gave the kids Mexican Jumping Beans. On the way to school today S said that she has to ask her teacher when the last time she fed the bean was. I had to ask what we are supposed to feed this bean, she said just water. Whew!

Then yesterday she tells me that the bean is going to turn into a moth. What the heck! There is not going to be a moth flying around the house.

I am getting so fat. I weigh more than I have ever weighed before and I am sick of it. On Tuesday I put on a pair of shorts that had fit me the week before and discovered that they were no longer comfortable. That day I also heard that Weight Watchers was doing a one month free deal and thought fine. So I joined online that night and went down for my first meeting yesterday. I left feeling good and motivated. Since I am nursing still I get 35 points a day to eat. Yesterday I ate 25. It was actually hard to eat enough points. When I start giving John a lot of table and finger food then it will go down to 30 points and when he is no longer nursing period it will go down to 25. That is if I lose no weight now. For every 10 pounds I lose I will also lose one point until I get down to 18 points. That will probably be a bit difficult. If I workout I can gain back some extra points so by the time I start getting down I will start working out too.

Today is day two, we will see how I do. I have already had 3 glasses of water though. I am determined. I am tired of my clothes not fitting, I am tired of feeling and looking fat, I am tired of being sore when walking around, I am just tired.

Speaking of tired, going to take a nap in a few! J2 decided last night that he only wanted to sleep in my bed. About midnight I gave up and brought him to bed with me and he woke up at 4 wanting to jump. I got very little sleep last night. When he naps I will be too...only he has to sleep in HIS bed.
