Non Fat

Tuesday Afternoon.
We take Eli to the pediatrician for his nine month weight check. I am nervous. The weight checks always make me nervous. Mr. E tells me it will be fine, it’s always fine.

NaMoLoMo – Friday Weigh In

143.
I lost three pounds!
Woo hoo! I rock!
I am fairly certain this is last week’s weight loss just now catching up to me, but I’ll take it. Eating THIS week has been rough, since I’m about to get my period and my brain just screams “carbs! chocolate! donuts! cupcakes!” for the two weeks leading up [...]
