165 lbs. this a.m. Yes, a bold move to note weight but I am not happy that I have not lost in proportion to the amount I lost after my last pregnancy. Specifically, I gained 20 lbs. less this time so I should be 20 lbs. ahead of the game but alas I am right where I was 3 mos. after the first one! To what do I attribute this? The Oreo cookie and Lucky Charm binges that characterized the first month and a half after giving birth and now, my return to daily wine consumption. First step is that I've eliminated the middle of the night bowl(s) of cereal after feeding the baby. Second, we're limiting portions around here starting a few days ago. Third, happy hour now starts at 6:00 instead of 4:00 if there is a happy hour at all. I'll get into the exercise part later on.
Happy Birthday USA! Dad and the 2 older kids just went down the street to watch some fireworks. I'm home with baby because I think the noises would be too much for her little ears at close range AND it is humid as the dickens around here and I abhor humidity when I'm uncomfortable to begin with and I'm uncomfortable to begin with today. I'm also thinking those vile mosquitos will be out there doing their bloodsucking thing and I do not want to expose the little princess to that either. So I get to stay home and watch the dogs quake with fear at the loud & sudden popping sounds.
I don't know why I feel frustrated. I finally coaxed Jeff into putting up the brackets for my window treatments in the master bedroom. After viewing the finished product he proclaimed it to look exceptionally nice in there. Hmmmmpf! Why does he think I was after him since March to help me get it done? I am quite pleased with the result and also that I hung up some pictures in Jackson's room. Slowly but surely things are being ticked off my list! I feel better already!

Good for you stating your real weight in your journal! You are one very brave woman, or should I say one very determined woman! You won't catch ME doing that and it's been almost 4 years since my last child was born! They say with each child born we "keep" 10 pounds. Why, I do not know, probably just to remind us that we gave birth, not that having them around whining and crying every minute doesn't remind us of that right?! Loved your description of the mosquitoes and the dogs reactions to fireworks! It's exactly where I am and will be tonight! I am personally tired of fireworks by now, there's only so many you can see! Enjoy the rest of your night!!
Hugs and love, Lisa
It's not like you can't look at me and figure it out, LOL. I'm muscular and hide some of it pretty well but I feel like oh well, the truth will set you free and all that...my ex-husband, with whom I'm still friendly and in touch saw the pic on the beach and said "sorry that Atkins thing didn't work out for ya!"....jackass comment you say? Of course it is but that's the kind of relationship we have and I asked for it by sending the pic and making a comment about the weight.
