Best husband ever...

suprised me with flowers, chocolate, and reservations. After my day today, it was the perfect combination. And I know - just another Saturday for a lot of couples out there - but planning ahead is monumental for my guy. I am truly blessed.

Today starts no sugar

This feels harder than no candy and no chips. And it started by throwing the oreos in the GARBAGE. And not the trash at my house - no, these went into the trash at the bus stop. Bye bye. (I'm imagining some homeless dude chowing down on his amazing find...) Now I need to grocery shop and fill my house with fruits and veggies! TTFN, LauraLynne

Time to come clean - and start blogging again with NEWS!

I've been avoiding the blogging world - for a couple reasons. My eating has been horrible. Well, maybe not horrible but definately not brag-worthy or blog-worthy. I've been embarassed at how much I've regressed back into old eating habits. The other reason is I've been keeping a secret but it's time to come clean. I've been gaining weight - only a little - and with my doctor's full permission. As of today, I'm 16weeks 4 days pregnant, and this one's here to stay! I'm excited. And nervous. And sick as a dog with morning sickness. I've used all of the above as an excuse to jump off the wagon (and load it with junk food to drag around with me all day).

Mostly my problem is that I have morning sickness 24 hours a day. It's like really bad mot...

Pride - and why I'm grinning like a fool

So - first of all - today I got dressed and came to work. Just another Monday. Nothing usual there. Until a co-worker commented on how it's time for me to go shopping. So I head into the bathroom and look into the full length mirror. Sure enough, I look like the incredible shrinking woman. My pants and sweater are too big. I'm not complaining - this is indeed bragging. It's time to donate some of my stuff. I'm a little scared to. What if...well, I'm sure you all know the paragraph that comes after that. So tonight I will weed through the clothes and donate the too big stuff. I will NOT go back. This journey is about moving forward. And on the pride note - several people at work know I'm losing weight, most of them know I'm running and participating in races. A few of them know I've done races in the past (triathalons). There's one guy that stopped me in the kitchen awhile back and we we...
