Diet update, "month 1"
It's only been a couple weeks since my first diet appointment, but now I'm on the schedule for 2nd Tuesday of the month for the rest of the time. I've lost 3 pounds since that appointment! Their scale put my at 302.2 lbs. (My scale first thing this morning said 300!) The highest weight I've seen on the scale is 311, but that was on the unreliable ( Read more... ) -
Protein shakes
Ugh, so the shakes are giving me some major cramping. If I don't adjust to this brand (About Time) by the end of the jar, I will need to try a different one! I am impressed that protein shakes truly do kill off the hunger, even better than two egg white delights from McD's! -
Medically supervised diet

Voila! $110 dollars later my glasses were being made ( Read more... ) -

The girls are currently in their 3rd session of gymnastics at the YMCA. They're getting confident enough to do things now, thankfully. Margot was pretty timid at first and was especially crushed when she didn't get to move up a level after the 1st session (like Cora did). We've had to explain several times that Cora is still in the little kid class ( Read more... ) -
I miss you, LJ
It's been four years since I've LJed! Gosh, apparently (if you are lucky enough to be on my LJ friends list) my last update was when Margot was getting ready to enter play-school. Well, she is now approaching the end of her Kindergarten year! And Cora just turned 4 and is a hoot. Yes, a hoot. My kids are the best and make me so proud to be their ( Read more... ) -

How sad, I have caught up to the present day on Dooce.com. I have been reading the last 5 years of her posts during nighttime feedings. It is like reaching the end of a book (a book with a dramatic cliffhanger because she's pregnant again). A good book that made you laugh and cry. More laughs than tears, to be sure. Now I have to be checking ( Read more... ) -
