We've been taking walks on the trail that goes behind the neighborhood. We figured it's probably almost 2 miles. Sometimes I pull Rachel behind us in her wagon. She sits in there like a queen with various drinks and snacks as I toil down the trail. At one point, she was laying down in the wagon with her arms behind her head. Must be nice. I suggested that she pull me instead, but she didn't like that idea very much.
Two scary things happen on the walking trail. One is the occasional snake sighting and the other is the duck-walks Maggie enforces. I'm not sure which is worse. It's a toss up at this point. But, oh well... The proof is in the pudding. (Mmm.. pudding..)
Speaking of which... I've cut down a lot on unnecessary snacking. If you're gonna pig out, you do it when you're alone and no one is watching. The only times I'm alone are when I'm in the bathroom (and even THAT'S questionable when the kids are around) and when I'm sleeping. So that's been a good deterrent. And fortunately I'm a fan of pretty much all fruits and vegetables--a healthier choice when I want a snack.
Another thing I've been better at is cutting down on my portion sizes. Fat people don't eat because they're hungry. You eat because it's like a drug and you feel like you need it. So I have to tell myself to stop when I'm full. I'm missing that sensor in my brain or something. Maybe it'll come back to me with a little training.
Oh and I have to do a shout out to Jennifer in case she reads this! YOU LOOK GREAT! :) You look so skinny in your baggy clothes. Keep it up!
The warden is calling... Visitation is over.

Rachel knows a good thing when she sees it.....ahhh. Sounds like it is healthy living there. Keeping busy on your personal time seems like a good thing, especially when you move into your new place, keep it up. GOOD JOB, 6 stinkin' pounds!!!!
You are not always a willing VICTIM ... but I'm glad you have a good sense of humor about things. You are making great strides! Go Liz! Rachel is hysterical ... like she's Cleopatra & you are her servant. =) Can't wait to hit the trails tomorrow (snakes not required) ... after we go to CVS that is ... hee-hee
Too funny! Maybe I'll go live with "the warden" for a few weeks. The walk along the trail sounds fun though I don't believe I've heard of this duck walk. I expect a demonstration next time I see you. LOL Thanks for the shout out!
