Losing weight with kids

Today was my second weigh in for my weight loss program which I signed up for weight watchers on Wed.  It is going well I lost 6lbs since Wed.  and I feel really good.  It is hard though I am not use to weighing everything I eat and not snacking on whatever I want to eat.  I do like the program because I earn points for exercising and that is helpful makes me want to work out a lot so I can have extra points.  I am doing this for me and my daughter because I don't want her to adopt the poor eating habits that I have so I do this for us but it is hard. 

It doesn't help that I am still in college surrounded by skinny young people that don't have to watch what they eat and don't even  come close to understanding what parents deal with especially a parent that is trying to finish college it is exhausting! 

Yesterday, my husband and I took our 2 year old on a hike and it was amazing until we were about finished and the trail disappeared and we had to bushwhack the rest of the hike and then climb a giant and steep hill!  It was fun but exasperating at the same time I just wanted to get to the car because we had been hiking for 3 hours and I was done!
