I have a 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son. The innocence of children is truly amazing! If you ever want to know if clothing suits you, ask a child. I asked my daughter if mommy looked okay. The answer "yeah, but why is your butt so big?" Yep, nothing like full on honesty! needless to say I changed. <BR> <BR> As we were driving a little voice from the back seat asked "so mommy, how many pounds do you want to lose? I want to lose som... Fri, 4 May 2012 00:15:21 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4862233 I can't believe that May is here already. In some ways I am glad, but there are a few days that will be a challenge. So I think that I should take some time to evaluate. <BR> <BR> Let's see... I have been getting into new habits for 2 months now. I have gone through 3 birthdays, 1 week of company, and a 2 chinese food buffets. This would mean some serious depression when shopping for clothes, but not this time. Although I really did try during April, the reality is I didn't gain any we... Tue, 1 May 2012 23:27:38 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4846329 Okay, so I was cruising along dropping a pound every 3 or 4 days and then Wham! Birthday season hit and guess what? you guessed it I'm up by a couple of pounds. How can one piece of cake be so detrimental to my plan? The reality is it isn't just one piece of cake, it has been a piece of cake every couple of days. I've kept up with eating smaller lunches and excersizing every day, but it doesn't seem to be enough. <BR> <BR> I am looking forward to Monday. I know that sounds strange but ...

I've added walking our dogs to the nightly routine. Yes it is one more thing to do, but it seems that the kids like the nightly stroll, the dogs are pleased about it as well. In fact my husband (Who graciously relinquished this chore) is enjoying the break from the routine as well. <BR> <BR> My dogs are 12 and 13 so our days of hiking for miles are we...

I have always thought that I could drop 15 lbs in a couple of weeks...just like when I was 20. <BR> <BR> Some how it doesn't work like that anymore. Now it involves planned excersize and truly thinking about what I'm going to put in my mouth. I have to say I miss the days of being able to eat like it was my last meal and not worrying about how my clothes would fit. Was that healtly? ...

I only vaguely recognized the person in the picture! <BR> <BR> How can that be? Every morning as I get ready for work I see the same face looking back at me in the mirror. Who is this impostor in my snap shot? She kind of resembles me, only older and larger then the my reflection. I guess sometimes that is all tha... Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:25:04 EST
