In 01/08 I decided to change my diet. After Walter and I had our 2nd miscarriage, the doctors thought that it could have been due to my weight (then at 248 lbs). So at that point I went on a diet, well actually changed the entire way that I eat. Before I went on my "Vegas Vacation" I had lost 41 pounds (now it's more like 37) and I lost the weight by dieting alone. Of course I have been on a plateau for about 7 months now...possibly longer. But never gaining so that's good. But here lately I've decided that getting back to my regime would be best. I've started keeping track of my food intake on "myfitnesspal.com" and doing some exercise. I want to ease into it. I know that since Walter and I are trying to get pregnant again that I shouldn't really be "dieting", but it doesn't hurt to eat healthier (which is how I consider it). So my goal weight at first was 175 lbs. That means on another 36 lbs to go. But then I'm not pushing the issue too much. I'd streak my neighborhood if I got below 200....J/K!!
I've just started reading a new book series. It's called the "Black Dagger Brotherhood" series by J.R. Ward. It's pretty good, I do find it hard to put the books down, and they are about 400 pages each. Anyone who knows me, knows that I like the whole paranormal books...mostly to do with vampires. So I've just finished book #3 and cannot wait to start on #4, which I may do here shortly. I've also started reading another series by one of my favorite authors, Charlaine Harris. She writes the "Sookie Stackhouse" series (which I've read 4 times all the way through & of course it's about vampires) & I just recently picked up her "Harper Connelly" series (about a girl who can sense the dead). It is good, but not as good as the Stackhouse series, she's just an awesome writer. I'm reading so many different series right now that it's almost difficult to keep up. My mother-in-law has given me some books to read as well. So total there are about 10 books on my table.
Ok, now my booty is tired. Maybe the workout is just what I needed to make myself go to bed at a decent hour. Alright friends. I hope you all have a good night. Love ya!!

Random Info
Ok so there are so many things going through my mind right now. I just can't seem to get them all out...and I'll probably forget a few before I finish this blog. (Maybe I need some ADD meds..kidding).
Walter and I are on vacation this week. We are getting ready to head to Snowshoe, WV for a week of skiing. We're leaving today, but don't have to be in Snowshoe until Sunday. So we're spending the night at the base of the mountain for the night then heading up Sunday AM. We're leaving Friday afternoon from Snowshoe and then heading to Greensboro for Friday night. We're going to the Comedy Zone Friday night. I love that place! I love to fly to different places, but sometimes the driving vacas are a lot less stressful. So we're taking our time leaving today and spending time together. It's great.
This is the one thing I'm really excited about. In about a week Walter and I are going to begin trying to get pregnant once again. I'm finally ready to start the process over again. I know that we are one step closer to figuring out the problem that I have keeping a baby, and I pray that this time is the time where we have some babies. That's right I said babies. It has taken us a while to get to this point and I know that I want more than just one baby. I want kids...plural. So believe it or not I'm praying for a multiples pregnancy. This last pregnancy we were pregnant with twins and I was really excited...after the shock wore off. I am just ready for a family with kids and as long as it has taken us to figure out why we can't keep a pregnancy I'm afraid that we won't have a lot of time to have several different pregnancies to get the amount of kids that I want. I know that everyone that follows this is already a mother...and you're thinking that I'm crazy. But I know I'm crazy...ha ha! I know that I have a strong family support group and we would have a lot of help. Walter's family is just 30 minutes down the road & my mom pretty much lived with both of my sister's after their babies were born. I guess I am just ready to have a baby so bad that I would wish the craziness on myself. But my mom tells me how tough it was to have twins. (my sisters are twins) So I do have some idea. Of course I would be so excited for just one baby right now that I don't really care. I know that I'm babling, but I just have this on my heart and can't seem to convey what I mean or even how to say it. I have spoken to a friend who has adopted and Walter and I have even talked about that as an option. I think that we are just ready to have a family. So everyone please pray that something happens for us.
