It stinks being a woman...

Even though I have Meridia (IUD), I still get my monthly visitor and I stillo get bloating and weight gain. Because of the recently installed device, my periods are irregular. I have had it now for almost 3 weeks off an on. So needless to say, I have been stuck at 202. I just cannot seem to get below 200 - get into the century club! People say I look much thinner that what the scales tell me and thats terrific, but I want the scale to say it as well. I am hoping to move into the 100's within the next week here. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Exercise... or not!

This is my place to be honest...

I do not exercise formally. Who has the time? But if taking care of 2-4 children under 2 1/2 years old, running up and down the stairs (sometimes with 25 lbs of weight) at least 50 times a day, and going non-stop until 10 PM at night, counts as exercise, then I am QUEEN!

When the kids nap, I wash dishes, reset the room, check email, take the dog out, and maybe sit for a few minutes. I suppose I could work my therapy bands in during this time.

Once class calms down, licensing is over and done with, and I have most of the business things organized and all set, I could ride the bike or go for a walk in the evening, alone (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE) or with Ms. Shelby and Mr. Weiss. Ahhh... I never said this when I was very heavy - but I desperately want spring to arrive.

Who'd have thought??

When I started on this journey, I made a list of all the things I hope to be able to do again after I lose the weight. One thing that never crossed my mind is shaving my legs...

At some point, I didnt have to move anything out of the way to get to my legs.

At some point, it started taking me less time to shave my legs.

At some point, I didn't have to hold my breath to shave my legs.

Now... why is it that I don't shave my legs more often? *grin*
