Oops.  I forgot to post my weigh-in yesterday.  I took my weight first thing yesterday morning but just got busy and forgot to post it.  The scale said 207lbs.  That is up .5 from last week.  I really haven’t been feeling well or sleeping well and I think it really had an effect on my [...]

My son did the craziest thing yesterday.  He has recently become a fan of the TV show Lazy Town.  I was listing some items to sell on Craigslist when I turn around and my son was climbing onto the entertainment center.  I had no idea why.  So when I asked him what he was doing, [...]

This is going to be a pretty simple week for me.  We have gotten in to the habit of eating out too much on the weekends because I like to be lazy on the weekends and not cook.  Since I didn’t prepare for it this week ahead of time, next week I am going to [...]

What is your favorite snow day activity?
My answer:
Watching movies while cuddled under soft warm blankets with a nice mug of [...]

I’m down 1 pound to 206.5lbs. I am really surprised I’m not up 1 pound instead. I didn’t have the best week and even indulged in pizza one night. Got exercise in only one day and didn’t drink much water. I guess my one saving grace was that, other than the pizza, [...]

I’m proud to report that my son has gone a week and only had 1 accident! I’m so proud of him. I spent all last week really working with him. We stayed home most of the week so I could send him to the potty once I saw any sign of him [...]

My mom worked nights so that she could be home with me and my brother. She would be there to get us [...]
