I'm so excited for today! I woke up feeling exhausted and not looking forward to taking care of extra kids....then I got a phone call saying that I could go back to bed, the daycare kids weren't coming! So I went back to sleep for a blissful half an hour.
Once my girl woke up, we got dressed and spent the next half hour just playing. It's amazing to see the things she does. She received a baby doll for her birthday and she spent 10 minutes trying to put the suckie in it's mouth. She brings me toys and says "da da" in the tune of "there you go" and "thank you".
After snack we're going to go for a walk, even though it's freezing out! Last night my hubby informed me that he wants to start exercising more as well. That made me so happy! We're both goign to start walking rather than driving as much as possible. Even when it's cold out we have no excuse because we have a cover for the stroller to block the wind and there's lots of room for blankets to put over nora.
So far I'm off to a good start towards being under 200lbs for hawaii. The trick is staying on the good start for longer than 2 days!
Well, that's it for today

Day 1
Well, where to start? I suppose this will be more like a diary, because really...who will read about the trials and tribulations of a stay at home, part time job, trying to lose weight mother of one?
I guess a little bit about what I hope to accomplish by having a blog. Let my feelings out when I'm upset, write instead of eat, share when I'm excited, maybe make some new friends?
My goal is to be under 200 lbs when we go to hawaii in April. That means I have a minimum of 16 lbs to lose in the next 50 days. Hopefully I can do it! After that I have 30 more pounds to lose before the next chapter of our life begins. In my dream world I would get down to 150 lbs by December of 2010.
Right now I run a daycare out of my home. I only have one extra child during the days besides my own one year old. It's funny, my whole life all anyone ever said was that I was destined to work with children. Now that's what I'm doing....and I'd rather be working at the restaurant! I'm only doing daycare until the end of the school year and then it will just be Nora and myself during the days. I'll work a few shifts a week waitressing and spend the rest of the time getting healthy, learning with nora, and just outright enjoying my life.
Goals to accomplish in 2010:
Suppose that'll be it for now. Cheers!

Goals to accomplish in 2010:
- Lose 40 lbs, and at least 10 inches off my waist
- Enjoy more, worry less
- Stick to a budget
- Cook at home more
Suppose that'll be it for now. Cheers!
