did you know....

that losing weight is hard?
i know.... duh.

i guess baby #3 is reminding me that it doesn't just happen.
it seemed to just happen after the other two.
or at least a little bit easier.

so.... i have called in for back-up.
that famous "meeting" group....
that i am doing on-line
(how could i get to a meeting once a week?)
...... the good 'ole WW.

i love it.
a friend gave me a cookbook and i tried the chicken & chickpea chili.
YUM!!!
(i couldn't even taste the three bell peppers)
AND my family ate it.

i have also discovered a zero point soup.....
basically vegetable soup.... and i add barley and use olive oil.... so make that a 2 point soup but again....YUM!
(another friend recommendation)

there is a whole WW sub-culture.
people who have done.... are doing it...... love it.
i have to admit that signing up was a huge ego thing.
to admit that i could not do it on my own.
but i am so capable, smart, we eat healthy.... and i have done this before.
but i wasn't having success.
every month going to the pediatrician's office......
sweet pea gets on the scale.
mommy gets on the scale.
sweet pea is growing.
mommy is in the same place.
argh!

so here i go...... the journey begins.
it is fun that it coincides with my race training.
there is a finish line.... sort of.

(by the way, i cancelled my training run this morning because it was 15 degrees at 8AM)

I once joined WW just to get that book that tells you the points in fast food restaurants.

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
