It is awfully late but this seems to be the time when I get the most silence. While Lilly is dreaming away and Brian is suffering from a Nyquil induced coma, I'm catching up on myself. Lately I have become more and more dissatisfied with the way I look. After having Lilly I thought the weight would drop off, it didn't. I gained over 80 pounds and the first 60 fell off but now I'm stuck with the "muffin tops," as I like to call them. Its getting to the point that its better for me to wear sweatpants and a girdle to go out of the house. This is sad I know. My husband thinks I look fine and in all honesty its better if he says that. My mom is the one who will actaully be truthful. She had 3 kids, all naturally so she tells me it takes time and boy is she right.
 I think what really hit me is last night's episode of Extreme Home Make Over....A cute couple were expecting a baby, her water breaks and he dies hours before his daughter is born. The man did suffer from a heart disease. I cried because I don't want Lilly left without a Mommy. I have Type One diabetes and I need to be the best I can for my daughter and myself.
 It seems that I use couponing  as an outlet for not dealing with the real problems. So this is my challenge to myself, save money, save my life! My official weigh in today was 171. I have 21 pounds to lose. On Thursday I'm having a complete lab work to determine all the areas I need to focus on.
  This being said I may need to stay away from Rite Aid's HUGE candy sale this week.  Until next time....Shannon
