Better

Okay, I am feeling a little better because I guess that I am just so tired of feeling, tired and crappy that I have made a really effort to just be happy. It has worked for the most part but I'm still tired. I guess that is just part of being a Mom, at least I have kids to make me tired, right?

I'm also giving up on trying to make Ryan happy. I know he is not happy at work and doesn't feel like he is getting paid enough for what he does, which he isn't but he has a job and he has a lot of freedom. But it is up to him to be happy and make the best of it until something better comes along and if he choose not to than he is the one to suffer.

Ryan did have fun with the kids last night though. I was at a HOA meeting and while I was gone he taught the kids the song "John Jacob Jingle Hymmer Schmidt",which they thought was the funniest song they had ever heard. I guess all of them, even Mason was laughing really hard and when Ryan put them to bed he could hear Holly and Ethan singing the song back and forth to each other until Holly fell asleep.

I think I will look into starting Weight Watchers. I've gained weight while I pregnant with each of my kids and have never lost it. I've just kept adding it up and I am really feeling it. I think that is one reason I feel run down and tired. So it is time to make some changes. I just hope I can do it because have got into a bad habit of snacking after the kids go to bed. That is the only time I don't have to share!!

Has anyone joined Weight Watchers lately? I was wondering if I could go to a few meeting and get all the stuff and then do it on my own from there. I am not into going to meetings every week and if I join on line I'm afraid of not having access to the resources without having to keeping paying every week for forever. If someone could enlighten me I would appreciate it greatly.

i have not gone to weight watchers in a few years...but i loved the program and i loved going to the meetings. just ask around and find a good leader...i think it makes all the difference.

i have started walking a lot and trying to drink more water. but i know what you mean about the munchies at night...

i know a gazillion people who swear by weight watchers. i personally dont have the time but i would do it if i could. going to the gym has been a major stress reliever for me lately and i feel i have more energy. good luck- i like liz's idea to just start walking more.

Weight Watchers is the way to go. Very sensible. When you go and sign up, they give you all of the material but I think you would see a lot of success if you found a meeting and leader that you liked. It makes all the difference.

I am heading back to WW this Saturday. I decdied to wait until i got back from Chicago. Ya know, so I could eat deep dish Chicago style pizza, a Chicago hot dog, etc... WW is the way to go & I highly recommend going to the meetings. There was no way I was going to do anything but loose weigt if I was paying to step on someone else's scale. I lost 38 lbs. before getting pregnant with Brody. Yeah, I gained it all back-uugghh. We can support each other blogs/email. Let me know what you decide!
