Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

I've made up my mind

I have never done the diet thing well. I do what I want. And after Abby was born, this worked fine. I walked EVERYWHERE. And the summer that David and I were divorced, was pretty happy with my body. And after Jacob was born, I was down 2 sizes. Now, I'm up almost 3 from then.

And I have always rolled my eyes at obesity. Saying that if I ever got to a weight where I was comparable to when I'm pregnant, I would lose the weight. Well, this winter has seen me at pregnancy weight. SO, I'm done. I have approx 13 weeks until Jacob's 1st Birthday. And at 3 lbs a week, that's a possible 40 lbs. I could lose.

So, I am off soda. And no matter how much I excuse it, I am walking EVERY day for at least 1/2 hour. I am going to try the Couch to 5K program I have recently heard about which is a 9 week program to get a person from not running at all to running the equivalent of 30 min straight.

Wish me luck.
