Ugh! Today is going to be rough. Little Monkey just was not ready to sleep last night. He was having a blast watching football with dada downstairs and occasionally checking up on me upstairs. Little Monkey loves tote bags. He likes to fill them up and carry them around. Yes – it does frighten his daddy, but I just laugh because I think it is cute and he is a toddler. Carrying around a tote bag at 2 years old is not going to make a life changing decision for him at this age! Anyways, so he found a Bath & Body Works tote bag yesterday that he became very attached to. When it was time to go to sleep, Little Monkey had a major meltdown over not being able to bring his bag in the bed with us. We attributed this to Little Monkey being overtired by that point.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who commented on my Fight Hunger post. I really, really appreciate it! I realized this morning that I had more time to get the comments in since I read the dates wrong. Better safe than sorry. Please help my friend Heather at Adventures Across a Sea of Blue get her 30 comments so that 30 cereal boxes can be donated to fight hunger. Thanks!!!
I am now 8 pounds away from my goal when I started trying to lose weight. I started at 197 pounds back at the end of May…eck! I know especially for a girl who 5’5″…it’s not a cute look. I am now 178 and stuck. Alright I know the weight would probably fall off faster if I’d quit slacking on my workouts, but it is so hard to make that a normal habit…especially for someone who detests exercise. I need a workout buddy or at least someone who is going through the same thing with me so that I can be accountable to someone other than myself.

Congratulations on the weight loss!
I feel you on the weight thing. I started new meds and I gained 14 pounds in 2 weeks. How depressing is that! My biggest prob is the gym to, I love how I feel when I go but cant get my lazy butt there. Good luck, you'll make it. I gained 90 pounds with Logan and it took a year to get off.
