Today I got to hang out with my 2 brand new grand-nephews. One of my nieces had her baby boy in November and her sister, my other niece, had her little boy December 31st. We had such a nice visit. It had also been a while since they had seen my kids as well, and we all really enjoyed our time with each other. But unfortunately, we only had a few hours with each other, because they live about 2 hours away.

Another good thing about the visit was there was no food involved. Since they arrived around 2 in the afternoon, they had already eaten and so had we. Usually when we all get together, it involves a huge dinner with some of the most fattening southern food you can think of. So I was happy to be able to stick to my diet.

Speaking of diet, I’ve lost over 23lbs! All in about 6 weeks. I really am feeling better physically, emotionally, and mentally. I still haven’t started exercising, and I know that is something that I’m going to have to do eventually. I had planned to start walking, but the weather has been either too cold or pouring down rain, so I’ve told myself that if that is the case next week, I’m heading to the mall and walking there. I’ve got to do this, or I’ll hit a plateau. But all in all, I am very pleased with my progress.

Just a quick update on my weight loss.  I’ve been dieting for a little over 2 weeks, and I’ve lost 12lbs!!  I have also decided to start Weight Watchers again.  I was able to purchase a 9 week package, so hopefully that will keep me motivated, knowing that I’ve already paid for it.  That should be enough incentive, huh?  We’ll see…

My weight loss blog, Making Mommy Hot is getting a new blog design!  My new friend Jess from Cuppycake Designs is working on it for me, so stay tuned, we should have an unveiling within the next few days.  I’m really excited, because I have been getting so bored with the black and pink theme I’ve got right now.  I’m dying to see what she has designed!  And I may also get her to create something for My Mama Drama as well.

Well…I officially have started my diet that I’ve been talking about for the past year. And what better way to kick it off, than to track my progress on my new weightloss and fitness blog! Go check it out, and tell me what you think!

Has anyone ever thought about trying any of the dietary supplements out there? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve promised myself that I’m going on a diet. I just have such a hard time getting motivated. In the past, I’ve done Weight Watchers and it worked for a little while. I actually lost eleven pounds within the first two weeks. But it was during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, so you can imagine how hard it was for me to stick to it. I never have tried a dietary supplement, but I’m thinking about it. I just want to make sure that it is safe before I do.

I have been needing to go on a diet for a very long time. It’s just that I feel like I’ve been pregnant for the past five years, and in the past, every time I would attempt to go on a diet, I’d get pregnant. Well….I assure you, that WILL NOT be happening again. Four kids is plenty for me. So we are absolutely DONE!!

I’m just having a little trouble getting motivated. I’ve done Weight Watchers in the past, and it worked for a little while. Last time I tried it, I lost 11 lbs the first 2 weeks. It was during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, so you can imagine how hard it was for me to remain on my diet. And then my mom passed away 2 days before Christmas, and I just lost the will power. She always wanted me to get healthy and lose weight, because she knew I would feel better about myself. So this time, if I do it, I’m going to try to do it for her.

I know that if I do lose weight I’m going to need a breast reduction as well. I’m going to have to check with my insurance company to see if they will cover it. I made need liposuction too, I’m not sure if the insurance will cover that either. Oh well, either way, I’ve got a long road ahead of me, but I’m ready.
