Like I said in my previous post about a brighter future, my husband and I are doing some pregnancy planning. Ok, I am the one officially thinking about pregnancy planning. My husband figures that we both have jobs, we both are ready to have children, so what is there to plan?
All you mothers out there, isn’t tons of things to think about? Just off the top of my head, I have at least a handful of questions.
I believe that my physical independence as I age is base on the things I do now to make sure my body stay strong when I am older. I will never forget the frustration I felt when it took me 20 minutes to walk 2 blocks from my house to the church and back a couple of weeks after my car accident.
When my back stopped hurting from my car accident, the doctors were no longer interested with my complaints about hip pain when my first MRI and x-ray showed that there is nothing wrong with my hip. I even started believing that it might be from muscle imbalance or something I did from my workouts.
I am turning 31 this weekend. Birthdays are always an exciting time for me. All the free lunches and free dinners because people want to treat you. Then there are the birthday cakes (yep, multiple ones). Lastly there is the grand finale feast that my mom spends all day shopping and preparing when I visit. And of course, there are all the restaurants my husband drags me to because of the lure of a free birthday meal.
I am not sure how long this deal will last, but you can download the Biggest Loser Workout Music Mix for free if you give them your email address (I made an email up).

If I watch what I eat and use some weight loss tools, I can almost believe that everything is “normal.” This post is a discussion of some weight loss tools I have around the house that I am using to get rid of my post-holiday weight gain.
I tried bribing myself with toys like the Wii Fit Plus and with food (ice cream in particular). Ice cream is on my deadly no-no list because I have a history with abusing ice cream. I cannot stop eating it until I finish the whole carton ASAP. Like I am on some kind of racing to see how fast I can polish off a carton because my husband will want some. The sad thing is — my husband does not eat ice cream.
With the farewell post from Back in Skinny Jeans earlier this year, I am also slowly trying to stop writing about weight loss. At some point, weight should be a none issue in a woman’s life. I am proud of the fact that I write about the many facets of health that we deal with from making food choices to to our health insurance.
