I have to do something about my weight... lost 45 pounds last year and I have gained back a little less than 20 since the beginning of the summer. Summer was really hard because I was home and I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Then I came back to school...stress attack... and I have started right back down the path to a fatter butt. My clothes that were too big on me have started fitting again :( I just hate it so I have to do something. I have been reading the Dr. Oz books and he really makes sense. He talks about eating things that are more "natural" and less processed. Stay away from enriched flours, sugars, etc. He also advises a diet that includes "good" fats. He says that is the downfall of the all protein diets is that your meats today are so much higher in fat than they used to be because of the way the animals are fed, etc.
I don't know, I still have a lot of reading to do. I actually cooked fish (tilapia) for supper last night with steamed broccoli and carrots. Lily had a meltdown and refused to eat anything except the shredded cheese I gave the kids to go on top of their broccoli. Then, of course, two minutes after supper, she wanted a little snack and I refused. After a solid hour...no joke... of her crying through her bath and getting her PJ's on, I finally broke down and gave her some peanut butter crackers. I feel bad because my kids eating habits are almost as bad as mine. If you ask them what they want for supper, they ALWAYS say chicken nuggets and french fries. I'm a terrible mother.
Anyway, today I had game duty after school. Me and Becky took the money at the door for the wrestling match. We actually did very little work but we had fun working on an Intelligence test that momma emailed me. Gotta run... almost time to go...Lily has dance tonight.

If you're having that much fun with it, I'm going to have to go back at it & put more effort in to the intelligence test.
Hey, come to think of it, I haven't heard a word about that thing from your Daddy.
