I adopted a little bit of a different attitude this week. I tried really hard to focus on eating well. I didn't have any sweets, candy, junk food, etc. I tried to limit my simple carbs and fill up on vegetables and light soups. I did not count calories. This made me nervous. I struggle with determining what the "right" amount of calories is. As a breastfeeding mom I felt that if I made good choices, I could let my body lead the way. As far as exercise goes I did Just Dance 4 three times this ...

End of Summer Hurrah and Start of School

The point is, it kind of feels like a never ending battle and it kind of is. (You can download this printable at the bottom of the page). Okay, so mess is inevitable. But it also is manageable.

Dropping the Baby Weight
When a campaign about documenting your weight loss journey with the help of Just Dance 4 showed up in my inbox, I knew it was time to put on my big girl pants and apply. It scared me that applying meant I could get the campaign and getting the campaign meant that I would have to talk about my weight. Post pictures about my weight. Actually do something about my weight. I applied via my phone while on a camping trip with my family. A camping trip where I sat on the beach in a sundress instead ...
