It was based off the book "who moved the cheese?". Not having read said book, not sure if it is worth it or not. My one take away was the phrase "what would you do if you weren't afraid?" Does kind of get the thoughts going. I'm all for any sort of motivation and inspiration group. Women need each other other. I think we spend too much of our lives being competititve and catty and not enough time lifting each other up.

With a newborn,hardly a day goes by that I don't get some combination of pee, poop, or spit up on me. It barely phases me now. Jason still gets grosser out at bodily fluids. I totally relate!

I know my kids suffer for it, and I would much rather be at home with them, but no matter how we try we just can't seem to make it on one salary right now.

If I indulge in too much sugar i start to feel bloated and achey and sluggish. I always feel like kicking myself afterwards because I know what it's going to feel like even as I am slurping down my Grande Creme Brulee frappachino, but I do it anyway! The exerice or runner's high is very addicting. It does feel wrong when my body doesn't get that often enough. I’m the same way about eating too unhealthy.

]]> Comment on Is Childhood Obesity Criminal? by Janine http://abetterbodyafterbaby.com/blog/is-childhood-obesity-criminal/#comment-336 Janine Thu, 01 Dec 2011 20:44:47 +0000 http://abetterbodyafterbaby.com/?p=1992#comment-336 This is something Jason and I struggle with. You know my mom. Soda was only for special occasions. I rarely drank it all until I was a teenager and even now I can take it or leave it. Jason's parents were a lot more relaxed about it and we have trouble finding the right balance between none at all and at every meal for our kids. It amazes me when I see kids young enough to still have bottles that are being given pop. Not that pop is the only cause of childhood obesity. But it is one very avoidable problem.
