Week 1

So, I had my first weigh in yesterday...like all oversize people, I'd like to lose 50 lbs. and 25 inches by just blinking and wishing for it to happen.  I want to be fit and healthy, can't that just happen?  I'm enjoying the diet.  There are some great recipes.  Last night was chicken enchiladas, so yummy.  I feel like I'm eating all the time, but I know that it's good food that my body needs.   I like water, just fine.  Somedays it would take me an entire day to drink a 20oz. bottle of water, so drinking 64 oz. a day is an adjustment.  Mio is awesome.  Find a flavor you like and you'll have no trouble gulping down the fluids.

Easter is this weekend and there will be temptations.  The success of my first week will keep me motivated to stay on track.  Why mess with something if it's working?

I kept you in suspense on purpose.  It brought me joy.

Down 2.6 lbs. 6 inches in the first week.  Victory.

And because it's Easter, I'd like to share one of my favorite songs.

"O the Blood" by Kari Jobe

Thanks guys and gals,

What they don't tell you

Was it hard? Was it runny? Was it normal? Did it smell really bad? Was there a huge mess? What it discolored? No one tells you when you're in the beginning stages of falling in love.  Nobody wants to shatter the fairytale/"The Notebook" illusion you've created in your mind.  They just don't have the gumption to confess to you that one day when your beloved calls you at work, the above may be the extent of your entire conversation.  They don't tell you that you'll feel completely normal discussing "it".  They wouldn't dream to explain how interested you could be in "it".  Nope.  These people, these ones who've paved the way before you, who've told you your whole life that "it" is not an acceptable topic of civilized conversation, they never let you in on the secret.  One day, you'll have complete dialogs about poop.  Ah, how romantic. C has had some stomach issues off and on this week. I got called to c...

Hard workin'

Is it sad to be glad to come back to work on Monday just so you can sit down in a comfortable chair while the air conditioning keeps you at a reasonable temperature?  Yes, that is sad?  Well then, I'm sad. I'll back up a little first. You didn't hear from me on Thursday - you're welcome.  I promise it was better that way.  I would either have cried or killed you with one look, it was too hard to tell. However, Thursday night was wonderful.  M and I went to parent orientation at C's new preschool and left knowing he was going to have a great year.  This will be the first time my baby has to  have a backpack, with his own snacks, and learning objectives, and, and, just pass me the tissues.  My baby is too big. Friday I was in Hville for a CPE class which was about as exciting as you're imagining it was.  We had a wonderful evening at home eating a gourmet meal and watching a family movie.  No.  That's what normal peo...

Days of Our Lifes: the Preschool addition

M had to straighten out a love triangle in the lunchroom this morning. I wish I was kidding. C took a seat next to a girl from his class to enjoy his breakfast.  Due to the table configuration, there was no chair on his other side.  Upon entering the lunchroom, CB was immediately distraught by the idea of not sitting next to C and tried to pry a chair between C and the other little girl.  When it was evident that wouldn't work, she had a meltdown.  Over my son. Seriously. M came to the rescue and repositioned C so he could sit between both girls.  What. the. crap. I can't even imagine what drama we're in for over the next 20 years.  I'm crossing my fingers for a pro-longed adolescent awkward stage and hair that sticks up in odd directions.  I'm sure I can slip a few Ben's to the Optometrist to convince him that contacts aren't an option.  Same treatment for the Orthodontist.  A few extra months in braces couldn't hurt. Y'all think I'm...
