Okay, that’s kinda much, but damn, I’m totally not looking forward to scaling back 10 points when I’m done nursing. She just … [Read more…]

When I went this route a few years back, the 100 calorie snack craze wasn’t in full swing, so my options were seriously limited. Well, they weren’t really limited, but it was a … [Read more…]
Today was a busy day. My daughter had her 1 year checkup at the doctor. It’s crazy how I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life and she’s a tiny little thing weighing in at 16 pounds 4 ounces. She’s 1, folks. The other crazy thing is that she weighed the exact same thing I did when she was born … [Read more…]
