Today is my daughter's birthday. My baby is 31. Not sure how that happened since I'm not much older than she is!
I am truly blessed to have two wonderful daughters. I'm a very proud mom.

How you look at it
It isn't just all in how you say it, but also all in how you look at it. For example, this morning I was looking in the mirror (I find myself doing that more and more these days) and thinking to myself, "not bad, not bad." Then it suddenly struck me that a few years back when I saw this weight for the first time I thought, "you fat cow." The weight does look different when you are heading down rather than when you are heading up.
The past few weeks have been pretty good to me. The week after the Palm Springs vacation I lost another 4 pounds! That was very nice. But then, last Thursday night Jake made some of his "Super Bowl Bean Dip" to take to work on Friday and I just had to have some. This stuff is so frakking good. 2 pounds of hamburger, 3 pounds of cheese, onions, 2 cans of refried beans (side note: when were the beans fried the first time?), salsa, and jalapenos. So I took some into a bowl and added fat free sour cream (as if at that point it would make a difference), got my lower salt chips and ate myself stupid. Friday evening Jake brought home from work the leftovers, so I had some more. Saturday morning I woke up with my eyes so swollen I couldn't put in my contacts, and I was making serious dashes to the bathroom due to the fat and jalapenos. Plus those 4 pounds from the previous week had returned. So lots of tea for me, as well as water and moving around all day. Told Jake not to make the dip again for Sunday. We snacked on veggies. Monday morning, those 4 pounds were gone, plus they took a friend along with them!
I'll never be one of those people who deny themselves all the good stuff in order to be thin, but it did prove that some foods just aren't worth the pain and suffering they cause.
