Ever have this happen?
Well, I swear, I told him 5 more minutes, after all, Dancing with the Stars would be over in 5 minutes. I turned around 2 minutes later to find this:
Oh well, at least I had already read him 2 books before this one was to be read, but still....just a reminder how fast those minutes can go, and if we don't catch them, they are gone!
By the way, did you know he says pink is his favorite color? I know! He likes to shock us that's for sure!

What I have in common with Oprah...
Remember this magazine?
It came out this January. I hadn't really watched Oprah in awhile, so hadn't noticed her weight gain. I picked up this magazine the other day at the library and I remember Oprah saying, in the year 2008, all of her magazine covers only showed her pictures from the waist up. She was making sure not to have any full body pictures. I don't know why she bothered, everyone saw her every day on tv anyways, lol.
But I could totally understand her problem with pictures of herself. I know the last few years, I'd see a picture of myself and think, "Oh, I look fine enough in that one" But the others...I'd just delete. I was conveniently avoiding the fact that the last few years I've gained 20-30 lbs. This is AFTER a decade of bearing children and gaining weight. The previous weight gain was justified, after all having children is for a higher purpose. But there's nothing GRAND about continuing to gain weight AFTER the children.
So, any advice for the woman who has NEVER dieted a day in her life? But of course I'm not going to go on a diet. I'm going to, "make a life change", as Ken likes to say it. I've ruled out HCG because there's no way I can not eat anything, lol. I like the idea of Weight Watchers, because you can still eat the foods you like, just in moderation. Also, the weekly meetings that keep you on the track. Ken thinks I could just do it myself with his help, and I wish that were true, but we both know I need a little outside push and shove! Who's up for the first shove?
