Because I know you can tackle anything you put your mind to...I also know you can handle anything thrown in your direction. You're strong, and surrounded by people who support you. Call me anytime you want a pep talk. You've given me plenty. ;)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214612172120403400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760382177216859177.post-17595371214535148022011-04-03T23:06:27.296-05:002011-04-03T23:06:27.296-05:00Amber, I didn't realize we are only days apart...Amber, I didn't realize we are only days apart in age! It is weird to say I'm "in my 30's." I was just thinking today that it doesn't feel the way I always imagined it would to be this age. Most of the time I just feel like I'm pretending to be grown up or something. I am totally there with you on feeling financial/job-related stress and just trying to keep up. And also on the having no more babies thing....I know I don't want any more, but it's really hard looking at my baby and thinking I have to savor this because I won't get it again. Best of luck to you with your goals for the year. You have made me really start thinking about what I want mine to be for the upcoming year (except then I have to accept that when that year is over, I'll be 32!!).Stacey Chalouxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760382177216859177.post-42967787359918519432011-02-15T08:15:45.811-06:002011-02-15T08:15:45.811-06:00Glad to have you back...I enjoy reading your entri...Glad to have you back...I enjoy reading your entries...makes me feel more connected to you and your life!

I lost about 50 pounds last year before getting pregnant again. I basically just cut calories, eliminated my night time snacking, and exercised. I find that keeping track of what I am eating, and eating reasonable portions of what I want is the only way I can stick to it. I love to cook and my family loves veggies, so I generally cook healthy meals. Turns out, even "healthy" food makes you gain weight if you are eating enough for a family of 4!Mommy Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683868357254371277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760382177216859177.post-42297946575867742252010-11-16T15:56:02.810-06:002010-11-16T15:56:02.810-06:00Perfectionism is overwhelming.

I'm not sure if you have already found something that works for you, but after getting really sick this year and gaining almost 50 pounds, I discovered that my major issue is carbs. Once I switched to sugar free, dreamfields pasta, and read and implemented the Atkins plan (with some splurges here and there), I find myself 25 pounds down and 25 to go. Even Breyers makes a carb counter icecream that is so good, I'd eat it no matter what the label says. Keep me posted on this, and I'll do the same!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683261656034496990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760382177216859177.post-82048159248174533672010-11-16T14:44:01.037-06:002010-11-16T14:44:01.037-06:00I feel like you are telling my story.
