One of these days
I'm actually going to care. I hope today is the day. But probably not. I'll be back though. I can promise you that.

Dang Halloween
Why is it that I always have a place to lay blame for my love affair with junk food??? It's my own fault that I can't control myself. What am I going to do? I lost 5 lbs but I'm sure I've put it back on. I don't even dare to step on the scale. Ugh. What's it going to take?
I was thinking today about how much weight I've lost in my life. I probably weighed around 125-130 when I got pregnant with my first baby. I remember saying that I would never get over 160 with any pregnancy or otherwise. That lasted for a few kids, then it went to 165. Then 175... You get the picture. So now here I am, seven months out from kid #7 and I'm almost 15 lbs heavier than my original "never gonna go over this" weight!! AGH!
Lets do some math: say I weighed 140 when I got pregnant with Jace. (That's actually now a happy & healthy place for me to be...) so if I averaged a 30 lb weight gain and loss on every kid - maybe I hovered right around 130 -140 for the first few then 140 -145 for the more recent years - that means SEVEN times I've gained 30 lbs and SIX times I've lost it again... adding up to a total of 180 lbs that I have lost and now another 30 to go! Holy Crap that's a LOT of weight!!! No wonder I feel like a freaking yo-yo. Up and down and all over the stinking scale. Losing the weight in between babies is getting HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So is it Halloween's fault? No. I guess not. and it's not the babies' fault. It's just my own. But still...
