I seriously think it makes us better caretakers as it was way easier to chase the little one up & down the sand!.
Wow,
Liz, you are so organized! I think I'll need to get one of those 7 day pill boxes. I have forgotten to take my dinner pills twice this week. Getting the twins dinner, bath, and bedtime is a wonderful, sweet challenge and then my daughter and I are so pooped that we eat and plop on the couch to relax (and watch Fringe) and I forget about my pills. We are in bed so early because they wake up early!
I have found that it is so much easier to get up and down, even just 20 pounds lighter! Yesterday we went to the baby doctor and found that they are 18 pounds each! That's just about what I've lost. I can't carry them around for too long, so I'm beginning to understand why I feel so much lighter myself!

The river trip wouldn't have been possible last year because I was too overweight! I love that my life is filling with so many more possibilities as my weight declines! BTW, I am officially now overweight and no longer obese! Yippee!
!
Salmongirl & Tripmama, that river trip sounds fantastic! I LOVE to go camping in my tent. I haven't done too much river rafting, although I have floated down the Guadalupe several times. I usually camp in my tent for a week each summer at a state park with a big lake. Not happening this summer; I just don't want to have to get out of my tent 3 times a night to pee. But I am planning a little Adirondack trip in a couple of weeks with my sister. You are absolutely right that there are so many more possibilities when we are not overweight. I can't wait to try scuba diving and maybe even sky diving!
BTW, you two are going to be Two Hot Sisters very soon! Congrats on your losses!

Ok,
Rainbow, you probably have posted the items in your travel bag, but I' missed it. I'd love to see that list. I'm planning for next week in New York City. That will be a challenge.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!
