Update on Weight Loss

I haven't written in a few weeks so I thought I would just post an update on this lazy Sunday afternoon.

As of today I have lost 20 pounds. It is such a slow go and I get so discouraged at times with it. I just have to remember that I didn't put this on in a few weeks even tho it seems as if I did. I have been overweight for all of my life except for when I was first born. So 50 years of gaining weight and losing weight on some fad diet as taken a toll on me. I have messed my metablelism (msp) so I can't expect to take off that many years of abuse. Had I known at 16 what I know now I would have tried harder to take care of myself. When you are young you don't really think about how you are going to feel 35 years later.

I try to get my daughters to eat healthier and exercise more but they seem to think the same way I did when I was younger. I knew everything and really knew nothing, my girls are the same way. But, isn't every one like that? You can try to tell them your mistakes so that they don't make the same ones but, they have to make their own just like I did. I just wish I could spare them the pain and heartache I know that is bound to come their way. But as one of my daughter's always says "Momma it might not be that way for me" I pray that it isn't. :)

Kayla has gone to Winter Jam tonite with the youth church group. She has been looking forward to it for a few months. I hope that she enjoys it and has a good time.

Chris is sick tonite so we are staying in out of the damp air. I hope that when it rains it will wash some of the pollen out of the air. We have a white car but this morning on our way to church I noticed the hood of it was pollen yellow. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year, I love the all the flowers when they bloom but I know what the flowers brings. I think the pleasure of thier beauty far out weighs the fact that pollen messes up everyones sinus'.

Guess that is all for now. I am going to try and start the Day Book tomorrow I just hope that I don't mess it up. It may take a few times to get it right!
