I have some great news. I have currently lost 10 pounds. Now it doesn't really show but I feel like I have made such an acomplishment. When I weigh myself I am supposed to take measurments of my neck, waist, and hips. Well my neck didn't change but that didn't surprise me since my neck wasn't big to begin with, my hips didn't change and I really don't have extra weight right there I just have very bony hips. But I measured my waist and last time I measured it was 37 inches. It is now 34.5 inches! Not a huge change but at least it's some progress. When I first started myfitnesspal.com I thought it was so, and it is a little until you get used to it and you just have to stick it out. It's so worth it in the long run. I have also found that I don't crave sugar near as much. Now I still really like chocolate and like my sweets, and pasta but I just don't need as much anymore, and a little advice, if you really want chocolate but not tons of calories go for dark chocolate. It has almost half the calories and is alot better for you.
It's been really hard for me to lose weight for a long time and I have tried a couple of differant things and I feel like I have finally found something that works and I feel and hope it keeps on working. The first week was hard and it was a lifestyle change ultimetly but it is so worth it and I am loving the results. Hopefully before I am in Oregon again I will have lost another 20 pounds and be getting ready to run a marathon. I haven't decided which one to run yet. They have one up here called the Teton Dam Marathon, it starts where the Teton Dam broke and you run into rexburg. The only problem with it is it gets really hot because it's all open and dry, no shade. I would really like to run the Eugene marathon with my Dad if I can get him to but I don't know when it is and I haven't done much looking into it.
Natalia is now 10 MONTHS! I can't believe it has gone that fast. I will have pictures up soon of her and an update of her little very girly, attitude personality. (Please forgive the spelling errors, my spell check wasn't working)

Eugene Marathon is May 2nd. It is a nice one, lots of good shade. I'm going to do the half this year.
Good... For... YOU!!! I did go to myfitnesspal and started using it but need to delve a little deeper. I do well until the end of the day when I scavenge out anything I can find--like chocolate chips. I didn't WANT the dark chocolate. And get this, earlier in the day I'd determined I wasn't going to eat any sugar. I didn't remember til after the chocolate chip binge. aaagh! It drives me nuts--I eat so darned healthfully (for the most part) and the weight is just so easily piling on. There is something to the potential for weight gain at my age. I had no idea it would be as challenging as it is (and I have struggled with my weight my entire life!) Anyway, this isn't my blog so why am I going on and on? I am really proud of you cuz I know how blasted hard it is to lose two pounds, let alone 10! Can't wait to see less of you later in the year. :)
