Weight Watchers and First Birthdays...

So, for anyone that doesn't know... I'm on Weight Watchers.  I've been on it for a week and two days now.  The scale says I've lost 1.2 pounds.  I'm not sure how I feel about that because I want to lose it faster, even though that's probably not the healthy way.  My friend, Brooke (who has been a great help to me with my Weight Watchers trials and tribulations... What?  It's me.. of course I can have trials and tribulations after only 1 week and 2 days... geez...), pointed out that I am probably not drinking enough water.  She's right.  I hate water... it makes me gag.  So, I went to the grocery store and found some Crystal Light thingys that you put in water to make it taste better.  I got the Wild Strawberry Energy, and they are great!  =)

I was a little depressed after only seeing 1.2 pounds lost when I've been trying so hard, but hopefully, since I have made a new VOW to drink more water - I will see more pounds lost in the days to come... =) 

And it doesn't hurt my feelings at ALL that Ava said to me this morning, totally unprompted.. we weren't even talking about dieting or weight loss or anything... "You know... you think you're fat, but you're really not.  You need to stay just like that.  You're perfect just like you are."  I almost cried.  Then, she said, "But don't get any fatter."  Yeah, you gotta love her.  I mean, she's delusional, because I could stand to lose a good 50 pounds, but hey, I'm her Mama, she loves me no matter what... apparently, unless I get fatter.  =)

Oh, and did I mention that I get to make a cupcake-themed first birthday cake for this little sweet pea this weekend....

Well, I do... and I can't wait!!    Until next time, Alivia Grace says... "We'll see ya..."!!
