This week I began my exercise & eating for weight loss challenge. My 6yr old daughters comments to me one day put a dagger in my heart and thrust me into this mode. I was trying on jeans in a store one day since I am still wearing maternity clothes and sick of the look. The pants didn't fit so I had them look for the next size up, which of course, they didn't have. She says, "maybe you should exercise and lose some weight," laughingly. I WAS PISSED! It hurt me! I had to catch myself as to not spew out smart remarks to a child. I replied, "you did this to my body...maybe you should exercise." She says, "no, I am already skinny." WHAT??? My child is already brainwashed with the ideal Barbie physique. Needless to say, this got thinking in many ways. How do I change her thinking and lose fat at the same time? I have never been a dieter or paranoid over my weight. I really just want to lose extra thigh fat and tone the body. I look good after 2 babies less than 9months later. But I dont feel good right now when I look in the mirror.

Today I woke up sore and tired from my intro exercise effort. I wanted to quit after 5min, LOL. Thats horrible but the honest truth. I figure slow baby steps are better than none. So today is a continuum of the madness for a good cause.
