Then found out I was pregnant and decided not to pursue weight loss. 4 years later, pregnant again, I pulled out the book and found the paper with all the measurements. I was still the same weight! I decided right then and there to devote myself to dieting after I had my baby. And I did! 6 months after he was born, I started and lost somewhere around 40 pounds.

I'm reading The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen. I wasn't expecting it to be as much memoir as it is, but I'm glad. That's making it much more riveting than I imagined it would be.

Secrets of a Former Fat Girl by Lisa Delaney - if you want real motivation you should try this one and also Half ***- memoir by Jennett Fulda. Great reads...

I liked Jennette Fulda's memoir, sept2012. My other favorite weight loss memoir was Born Round by Frank Brun. Can you imagine losing your weight and then being asked to be New York Times restaurant critic?

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Buddhism, and possibly also The Double Helix, if I can make time for it before classes start.

The Hero of Ages ... Brandon Sanderson. I downloaded it onto the Kindle not knowing the author and without a great deal of enthusiasm but I felt like taking a stab in the dark. Well written fantasy and holding interest so I have hopes for it and the sequels.

Fifty Shades Darker. About 100 pages in. It's not really my cup of tea in the subject matter, but I do want to finish the series.

I'm rereading the Harry Potter series. Started last week and I reckon I'll finish the second book tonight and move onto the third tomorrow.
