I am feeling so much better today. I stayed up last night and read my Bible for a little while, and spent some time praying.

My friend Naomi came out and watched Chloe and Christopher for me while I went to Curves. I had a really good work out. Then I came home and Naomi and I got the kids outside and we all washed her car and my van. But then, wouldn't you know it, right before we were getting ready to wax them, it started to down pour!! Can you believe that???!!!!  There was not a cloud in the sky, then BAM!! I just could not believe it!!

I also had something else interesting happen to me. My "monthly friend" decided to start visiting again. I haven't had a period since December 25, 2005!  I got pregnant right after that, then after I had Chloe I breastfed her just up until about a few weeks ago. I figured since she will be 2 in September, it was definitly time to wean her! She didn't think so, she still tries to nurse, but I am not letting her.  It makes me feel bad, but I can't nurse her forever. Anyway, the fact that I just started probably has something to do with the mood that I have been in lately.

My eating has been good today. I actually haven't been very hungry. I am gonna try to aim for best loser next week at TOPS. I am not gonna starve myself or anything, just try to be very careful with my food, and TRY to keep active. Since I "started" earlier I am feeling a little crampy. But I am not going to use that as an excuse to stop exercising. I have heard that exercise helps cramps. I might go walking later.

Anyway, so things are getting better for me and I am not going to let myself get down like I was again. It has been such a hard past few weeks!  Glad it's over!!
