Today is a special day. It is my babys birthday! He's three now so I guess technically he is not a baby anymore but he is my youngest so... you know how that goes. He is still in sleep mode from the oldest two's Christmas vacation so taking a nap at six p.m. is a habit I'm currently trying to break. Sigh. We had a great day today. We headed out early and ran errands, got lunch, went by my daughters school to drop off something for her basketball game (she cheers), and played outside for hours. That may also contribute to him crashing at this time of day too.

I met my girl from TA (my old job) at BK today and she hooked me up with her Weight Watchers books so I will read up tomorrow and start fresh this upcoming Monday. 
Only because the groceries are on minimum until this weekend and I need to prepare myself. 
Yeah, that may sound silly but for this whole past year the word healthy has not been in my vocabulary. I hadn't avoided it, I just never had it on my mind. It was more of a system of I knew when it was meal time and I ate what everyone else ate and to be honest, I can't do that. 
My body is just not set up to be able to eat like that without gaining weight. 

I realized in high school that I was going to have to get strict and impliment diet and exercise. I do have big women in my family and that will no longer be a justification to why I continue to yo-yo from a 14-20. I am beyond frustrated with the hard work I put in twice after pregnancy and with a consistant result of another pregnancy. I love my kids I just don't love what it did to my body.
Toxemia with my first child contributed to a 105 lb. weight gain. I lost eighty of that and got pregnant with my second which added 42 back and I only lost 30 of that before gaining that 30 back. Then came my youngest.... every woman has a pregnancy story, a weight gain story, a reason why they want to lose a few pounds or more.

I am going to set my goal for my birthday mid July and take a current photo next week. I'm excited! 
I hope to hook up with more people who use Weight Watchers to talk. I could use the support for sure.
