A Milestone!

I'm celebrating today, because I reached a milestone goal. When I weighed in this morning the scale tells me that I have officially lost Lawson! Hooray! 1 kid down, 1 to go. Last night at dinner, Todd and I were talking about our weight loss goals and where we were right now. I was telling Todd that my most immediate goal was to lose Lawson and I was really close. Alia heard us talking and said, "Why do you want to lose Lawson?" She looked really perplexed. It was quite funny.

So, now I'm on to losing the weight that I never lost after Alia was born. Sigh. And we all know that after I go through all this effort and lose weight from prior pregnancies, I will most likely get pregnant again and have to start the whole process over. There are times (quite a lot of them, actually) that I really dislike being a woman. Just ask Todd - he hears it all the time.

Did you know that holidays and family dinners were hazardous to your health? We had 5-thats right 5-desserts for Easter dinner. I do know that I didn't have to have a piece of each one-but I really didn't want to hurt anybodys feelings. (Hows that for an excuse) Someone once told me that you can only gail 3 pounds in a day. I am now convinced that you can take off no more than 3 ounces in a day! Is that fair? In any event I still am doing well in processing sugar-even after 5 desserts. I think I can also include in fitness that G'pa has his hearing aide and the right earpiece. It will take some getting used to but is much better than not hearing. We stay in good health. Hope you do also.
