Surviving the Domestic Jungle

For some of us (and by some of us I mean me) the winter weight gain epidemic kicks off today! I am 6 oz away from my prebaby weight and I have zero intention of screwing that up. I only know I have 6 oz to go because I have a digital scale! I would say I worked hard to get rid of the weight but that would be a lie. I only had 20 to lose and strangely it came off in 5 pound increments. I would randomly just be thinner then hold steady for a while then magically drop another 5. Unfortunately I do not gain weight magically! I gain it because I have a sweet tooth that is out of control…on occasion. I do not plan on gaining an ounce of weight! I am much more active now that the weather is being nice and I will only continue to be more active. I bought a cheap full length mirror the other day because only seeing from your waist down can lead to pants that look less than desirable. I now have an idea of what I actually look like and it is very motivating! Im actually really looking forward to walking tonight as it is one of my favorite activities. I could walk to Canada! As long as I have something to look at I am good to go…..for miles! My neighborhood is not good for walking because it is right next to a busy road and there aren’t any sidewalks. I Would join a gym but I cant be bothered. I absolutely hate to sweat and I am not a lift weights kind of girl. I may throw most of the candy away as my oldest only cares about her outfit and my youngest daughter would eat the entire haul in one sitting. There is no middle ground so I may casually throw some away each day because I have about as much restraint as my middle child!
