Mar. 15, 2006 - Been too long!
My my...I haven't blogged in awhile!
March is upon me! Of course, with our recent snow, it has not
really felt like spring, but weather can change on a dime here, and I
see the sun shining out the window now!
It is almost time for Dominic to take the SAT as required by the
state. I have no worries. He has always been really good at
those things, always scoring in the top 5% or so in school. I
will be glad when it is over. We're enrolling in a private
umbrella school next year and will be able to avoid the testing
trap. Yippee!
So, it's Wednesday. Our day off. We do not do lessons on
weds. It's a nice little hiatus in the middle of the week, and we make
up for schooling time requirements by going longer on the other 4
weekdays. I'm telling you what...I would be so overwhelmed
without my wednesdays off, and the house would just fall apart!
Funny, I am just now settling into what works for me as a routine for
journaling and keeping record of what we do for lessons and where the
kids are. I didn't think it would take me this long. I
tried homeschool tracker, but I am just not into that whole electronic
thing. I like padding out to the kitchen in my slippers and robe
in the morning and looking over my agenda book over coffee. The
computer room is cold! Plus, I never know what rebellion the
computer is going to throw at me. Better to have it all on paper,
for me!
I have come to the conclusion that my extra weight just is not going to
come off by osmosis. I am dressed and ready for my pilates
video. It's enough already! And to think, back when I was
135 lbs, I lamented over how much weight I had gained since becoming a
mommy! Haha! Now I'm 185. What I wouldn't give to
weigh 135 again! I want so much to have another baby, Godwilling,
but I am really kind of afraid to get pregnant this heavy. I fear
gaining another 45 pounds and not losing it after the baby came, so I
have decided I am going to do something about it, instead of just
hating my body but still eating like I do. I did a 3 day
juicefast and I'm colon cleansing right now, which has resulted in me
feeling more energized and less sluggish. I feel more like
excercising now!
Now, if I could just do something about this hair...

Mar. 16, 2006 - Babies... |
| Posted by angroyalty |
My thought on babies and weight... I gained whatever it took for me to "almost hit" 200 lbs no matter what weight I started at. With one child, I LOST 13 pounds before I gained anything... I gained a total of 20 lbs with her... Now with the last... I started much lower and gained MUCH MORE... but still ended at the same "almost" 200lbs...
SO, just give it a go and don't worry so much about the number on the scale...
This is penned with the same hand that just broke the bathroom scale... so I have decided it is not the number that counts... he he he |

Hi Shannon,
I my state, we're required to test every year. It's no big deal here though. We just do it. I just signed my oldest two up the SAT yesterday. I do the IOWA Basics with my other children.
I would love to lose a few pounds! Ahhh... Which colon cleanse are you using? I've considered trying it. I'm not sure that I could though. I have to take thyroid meds each day and wonder if that would react funny with the meds? Any thoughts?

| Hey, Shannon, JenIg has a Blubber Blogger group going on. It's not too late to join, if you thought that might help motivate you. I gain 40-45 pounds with every baby, but apparently I have some lucky genetics working for me in taking off the weight within 12-18 months afterward. (Ouch, ouch, stop hitting me!) |
