I’m not weighing in until Monday.  I think I’ve driven myself crazy weighing in every day.  I am tired of being disappointed every time I get on the scale.

Yesterday, after dropping off Yumna to school and DH to the train station, we went to visit a friend of mine who has kids.  She is also trying to lose weight too and she has lost some steam as well.  I found that when I had to report my weight every week things stayed on track a lot better.  Fat Pants, beerab and I were in the 70 lbs. to lose post when I first met them, and it was very helpful to have to report and then see how much you lost compared to others.   I don’t know if any of you would be interested in doing that again?  Let me know, and either we can set up a post on the forums or do it on the blogs every week.

I decided that I am now going to solely focus on exercise now.  I am allowing myself to eat what I want on the condition that I exercise during the day.  Once I get the exercise habit going again then I don’t think it will be hard to reinstate watching the food.  I figure it will motivate me to eat better because I will see some results!

Yesterday I mowed the lawn, and today the plan is to get out in the garden and plant my bulbs and pick up all the rotten apples from the ground.

Six Facts About Me

1.  I did my degree in math, and have always been considered a very logical person.  However, in my heart I know I am an artist.  I am the most happiest in front of a canvas with my paints.

2.  With both of my kids, I really wanted a girls.. and I got them!  I like boys, but I don’t feel the need to have a third kid to try for one.  I am very scared of getting pregnant again. My pregnancies involve a lot of vomiting. However, if the situation was reversed, and I had two boys, I would try for a girl despite all the vomit.

3.  I think of Safiya and Yumna as my heart and soul respectively.  They are both so different from each other and bring me such special aspects to my life, I don’t know if that makes sense, but somehow I need them both equally, but differently.  Sort of like my brain and my heart - I need both to live.  They bring me so much happiness and love and I couldn’t imagine my life without them.

4.  My Mom’s sister is married to my Dad’s brother.

5.  I am a very simple person when it comes to material possessions.  I would probably be more comfortable if I lived in a smaller house, and had an old car.  I think most of my house would be unfurnished if it were up to me.  It’s a good thing my husband takes an interest in these things or there would be no where for guests to sit when they come over.  Which brings me to no. 6.

6.  I think my husband balances me out completely.  He is my best friend and somehow has every quality that I lack.  He helps me out with the inside the house work, and I enjoy doing the outside the house work.  He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and he only gets better with time!

As for my nominees.. I only read like 5 blogs, and you are all nominated.  So I am going to skip that part.

Thanks again for the nomination Fat Pants.
