Ahhhh I am running behind behind behind.  I did… er… nothing last week to improve my weight and or appearance.  Well, I showered.  So there’s that.

However now I own a SCALE and I was able to take my measurements.  I also started my exercise program today.  I almost died.  I did work out for a half an hour (had to stop when the baby woke up halfway through THANK GOD).

My hubby was measured too, in anticipation of him working out, and I found out that my thighs are bigger than his.  Yikes!  To be fair, he barely has an ounce of fat on his arms and legs, his problem area is his tummy.  My problem area is… uh… my whole body.  My head is also bigger around than his by a quarter of an inch.  That we measured just for fun, I don’t anticipate working out will make my skull shrink.  At least, I hope it doesn’t!

So, don’t worry, I haven’t abandoned all hope of looking fine by next year.  I have fully started now, and I’m going to be watching what I eat!  Other than the usual, watch what I eat as it goes into my mouth.  Or the “See Food” diet in which I see food and then I eat it.  I have started becoming an emotional eater the last few months since the baby was born, so I have to break myself of the habit of just EATING EATING EATING!

Wish me luck.

Also, if you think of it, please pray for my friend Liz who is pregnant – she has been admitted to the hospital for dehydration and other problems, and the prognosis for her baby (Holden is his name) is not good at this point.  But I believe in a God who is in the business of performing miracles, so I know Holden is in his good and loving care.  Liz has been on bedrest for a while, with a PICC line, etc, but things progressed to the point where she was vomiting up blood, so she certainly needs all the prayer she can get.
