Well, not really, but this is Kemper's new favorite song... so I have been getting a little exercise dancing with the wee man!

I just can't seem to get 100% focused so far this year. I know what my goal is, and I think about it all the time but I just can't seem to get my stuff together. I have been walking much more than I was in December. Weather is better, and there is more time now. I feel much better about that. I have packed *most* of the leftover Christmas goodies away. Put them up HIGH on a shelf so that when I have to pull the chair over, or get out the step ladder it gives me a chance to think about it.

I started taking One a Day - Weight Smart. My husband saw them one morning on the counter and automatically assumed they were diet pills. *grr* All a said was, "they're vitamins... with green tea extract". Really, as bad as this sounds, if I was taking diet pills, they wouldn't be left on the counter for all to see! I decided to start taking vitamins because I was starting to feel a little sluggish. I'm sure it's a lot to do with the lack of fresh air and exercise and fruits and veggies that my body had gotten used to. I'm feeling much better now.

I am back to work in 2 months. I am very relieved to have found a wonderful lady to watch Kemper. She looks after quite a few kids, but she's been in Child Care for 19 years. This is making the transition of going back to work a little easier. I am slowly becoming more okay with going back to work. I'm still a little worried about shift work, (yeah, midnights & afternoons *yuck*) but I'm sure we'll get through it! Work will either help my weight loss battle a whole bunch, or kick the crap out of it!

I think that thinking about returning to work was causing me to stress eat, so hopefully that harmful habit will stop now.

I started reading Dr. Phil's book... I'm hoping it helps me out.

Anyway, a lot of jibber-jabber today!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!
