Since I have stopped smoking (Jan 4, 2010) food has become my new crutch. I had already started gaining weight back last summer (right before I turned 30) and within 1 year (since last March) I have managed to gain 30 pounds. This coming from someone who use to have trouble gaining weight and had always up until the age of 23 had been underweight. When I turned 23 and had my 4th child, I was finally normal weight (145 pounds). I stayed between 145 and 150 up until a year ago when out of no where ...

On Sunday I felt my husband's cold being passed on to be. I really hate having a cold. Why? Because it just lingers on and on. I don't like taking Medicine at all. Anyway, yesterday it really hit me and today its even worse. I think I may break down and take some cold medicine. I wasn't even able to work out yesterday which was a bummer. I did try but ended up feeling sick to my tummy and decided that probably wasn't the best idea

So today I will do my usual chores (minus working ...
