It's funny how weight loss tricks work for me at some times and not at all other times. Like counting calories. Back in my single days I was counting calories and losing weight like crazy. But this time around I've discovered that counting calories has actually made me gain weight. During the day and seeing how much I've eaten and how much I can eat later on made me think, "Oh, well I'm doing great! A handful of chocolate chips won't hurt me." Five times a day later, I'm feeling awful about my choices and the weight keeps coming on. But for the last month I haven't counted calories and haven't gained any weight. I'm more conscious about not eating too much and have less chocolate cravings. Weird, right?!
So, my goal for the next few days is to just work out more. We got an exercise bike with our tax return this year and I want to try waking up early before any of the kids are awake and exercising for 20 minutes. I think this will be good for me to get some alone time and also I won't be trying to fit in exercising and showering in between Katy's naptimes and stuff.
Thanks for listening :)

The exercise bike is a great idea -maybe if you have 5 minutes here and there in the day you can get on it. Congratulations for making such great goals--you're a trooper!
