Not as planned

I have been posting to my facebook page regularly, but not blogging.  I will be better about that.
I have recently started two new journeys-
 1. The 90 day contentment journel (#contentmentchallenge) by Rachel Cruze.  I use to write All The Time, but as I left college got out of the habit.  I am happy to have this promt guided journal to get going again.  14 days in and I hadn't missed a day, but sometimes thishs dont fo as planned - my son got another ear infection with a high fever. We were lucky if we got an hour sleep on Saturday and 4 or 5 on Sunday - thankfully going into Monday we got a full night. And I was able to journal again today.
 2. Transform 20 42 day work out with ShaunT that as part of the tracker also asks you to transform your mind as well as your body. It asks you to write about your struggles and how you conquered them. Today was day 16 of 42. Same reason as before I missed a workout, but just 1! Since I had my son this is the first time that missing a day hasn't caused a bigger slip.  And if nap time allows I am thinking about doing workout #2 to be back on the right day!!
Not as planned - journaling, working out - both going well. The number on the scale? Not so much I am bouncing around 305-312.
Since starting Transform 20:
I am up 1.25" and up 1.5lbs

Since my last post in Nov:
I am down 8" and up 0.4lbs.

Yes I am working with my doctor. Any encouragement or things that have worked for you I would appreciate.
