Here's to not giving up

Well it's been one month since I started blogging about my "weight loss" and I present to you the new me....about 5 pounds heavier. Since I'm real and this blog is real I felt it was important to post this lovely picture and talk about my weight gain. This past month has been a tough one mostly because of illness, not me, but my kids. I've found that when they're sick, they're moody (even more so than a 4, 3, and 1 year old can be) and the stress level in the house sky rockets. In addition, when the kids are sick (with fevers) we don't really leave the house. Where does this leave me? Well it leaves me in the house, stressed and bored...so I eat...because I'm always in the kitchen and I'm always surrounded by food. What to do?? My plan, now that the kids seem more healthy, is to get out of the house (as much as possible) and exercise, rather than grab something to munch on when I'm bored or stressed. I have a few other ideas but I'm going to wait on sharing them until this month is over.
Oh and by the way, I just came from the gym in this picture, hence the red face and wet neckline of my t-shirt...quite attractive, I know. Wish me luck, say a prayer, hijack a dessert truck so that it never makes it my grocery store...feel free to do whatever you need to to help me it. Thanks in advance!!
