The Slower, The Better

I have been working with a trainer for the last four weeks. I lost 1.5 lbs. this last week, which is much better then gaining a mysterious 3 lbs. like last week. We found out that last week, I actually gained about 1.5 lbs. in muscle and the rest was water retention. So I'm pretty excited about losing and not gaining. I have only lost about 3 lbs. and have put on about 3 lbs. of muscle so far, but I have been working really hard for the last month and was hoping to lose more like 10 lbs. by now, but my trainer assures me; the slower the better. My trainer is wonderful and has been really patient with me and my picky eating. She mentioned that I have to stop drinking Pepsi if I want to lose weight. Whhhat? I've never heard of such a thing. I am appalled! I can't believe she wants me to stop drinking my precious Pepsi. I outta slap her in her skinny face. j/k I've been drinking Pepsi for breakfast, lunch and dinner for at least 15 years. I wonder if they have a rehab for Pepsi drinkers? I'm so sad right now, I could cry. But I guess I need to at least try Diet Pepsi again (gag me) if I want to continue to lose weight.

when I want to lose weight seriously I have to quit drinking soda too, completely! I start by switching to diet, which is slightly better for losing weight but it is not until I quit that that I really lose. It helps me to go to diet first because diet does not taste as good, then it is easier to quit completely. Good luck and keep up the good work!

Liv-The Drama Queen

Liv is really smart. She loves going to school and hanging out with her friends. She is really excited about learning to play the Recorder this year. She is a huge "Smarty Pants" and has a come-back to everything I say. She helps me out a ton with the two little ones, who both admire everything about her. She tells really, really, really long stories (sometimes I have to remind myself to be patient.) She acts every detail out and changes her voice for the different characters in her story. She has a talent for getting anyone around her all hyped and rawled up. The house is usually quiet until Liv arrives. She is such a "Drama Queen." She spends most of her time making the two little ones re-enact a movie that they just watched. I think she is going to be a Movie Director or a Teacher when she grows up.

DayDay aka Prince Charming

Damon is a real sweetheart. We call him DayDay for short. He is a very sensitive guy and is tuned into everyone's feelings. He tries very hard not to hurt anyone and really wants everyone around him to be happy. He loves to cuddle and gives the best "Bear Hugs." He's already embrassed to hold my hand or kiss me in public. He doesn't love going to school but is really good at it and tested above grade level. He is a "home-body," crowds and a lot of noise over-whelm him. He loves wearing soft clothes and would stay in his jammies all day if I let him. He can memorize a movie after watching it just once. He quotes lines from movies and even uses them in the right context. He is always making us laugh and is quite "The Charmer."

The King & Queen

I have been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 10 years. I love being a wife and a mom. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home. I really, really, really love my life and my home! The kids are amazing and being able to watch them grow is so much fun. They change everyday. I love making crafts and cards. Photography is a hobby that I am still learning and I spend a lot of my time reading and learning new techniques as well as learning Photoshop. I should say that I spend most of the time trying to figure out my damn camera!!!

John is a brillant man. He is self-employed and has many talents. Taking out the trash is not one of them, but I love him anyway. John enjoys watching sports and plays football whenever he gets a chance. He is an amazing dancer and is always the center of attention at a party. His son is his protege.

Chloe-Puppy Royalty

Chloe is the puppy Santa Claus brought for the kids this past Christmas. She is an Imperial Shih-Tzu. She was abandoned by her mother and then was raised by a Persian Cat. When she first came home she even meowed. Now days she spends most of her days "cat napping" and sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She is very playful and hates to be left alone. Her hobbies include hanging out the window of a moving vehicle and playing with her boyfriend-Mugsy. She is spoiled beyond belief and acts like "Royalty."
