5 more down.... about 35 more to go....

I lost 5 more pounds!!!!! So far that brings me down to an even 50lbs lost!!!! yay - I need to celebrate... not sure yet what my reward should be...something great - like a new pair of running shoes maybe?...

well my dear friend Beej (journey to sanctification) rewarded me with a challenge to list ten things that make me happy - I don't usually get into these awards much - but this one was pretty nice to think about... so here it is:

1. Marrying my best friend
2. Kids that start the day with a smile (and usually a hug)
3. My Saviors love (corny - I know...but true)
4. Spicy food .... mmmm chips 'n salsa...drool
5. Sexy Shoes (they make you feel great no matter what your size)
6. The great outdoors (running on a treadmill sucks)
7. Going to dinner with friends
8. Watching loved one's make good choices
9. Serving others (no really - it works every time)
10. Being creative - love to problem solve.. I know, I'm such a dork!

- is it bad that 2 items included food... no wonder I'm chubby

About Me

I'm a 29 year old, busy mom of 3 beautiful kids - I just recently had my third child (may 09) and I am working to transform my body from a mommy shape to it's former glory. I'm married to my best friend and childhood sweetheart.
I AN NOT AFFILIATED WITH KASHI IN ANY WAY- I 'm just keeping this private journal as I try to achieve some personal goals.

Just like so many other women in the world I statred gaining weight when I got married 9 years ago, and also like other women - I gained weight with each child. I want to lose the weight but more importantly, I want back the active lifestyle I enjoyed in my younger years.

Why Kashi?

When I started looking for a system to help me lose weight, I researched all those "weight loss" diet food systems and found they all focused on caloric intake with an emphasis on low carbs, something I personally think you NEED. Have you ever met an athlete that doesn't use carbs to maintain their energy?

Don't get me wrong, i want to look good in a pair of jeans, as much as the next girl, but I want to have a more active lifestyle too. So I started looking at Kashi and their philosophy with food. Something seemed to fit, I don't know where this is going to go.. but I'm dying to make a change... and I could use all the help I can get!

Because a good life requires the energy of a healthy body!
