Well I know I haven't posted in a while but I just haven't had anything to say! I haven't gained or lost anything. I have managed to maintain, so that is positive. I have stuck to my schedule and eating habits have been ok. It has been a really rough week and half to be honest. I haven't been feeling very good, and I have developed a dang bad case of shin splints (sp?)... (If anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with these I am desperate). I have had a very very sick little boy to take care of, and am running on zero (seriously none) sleep. We have also been dealing with some family changes and stress (will be updating the family blog soon regarding this, can't say much yet) which has taken its toll as well. So now the good news, I am feeling better, boys are all healthy, family stuff has taken an amazing turn for the better, or at least appears to be, so I am hoping a good night sleep and my energy and focus can return to where it needs to be.
I am using our family vacation as a motivator at this point. So we will see how the next few weeks go. I am also going to post a during picture in the few days to show some of my progress (by request) and hopefully that will be a little motivator too.
Well I must be off to bed now. Have a great night (or day depending on when you read this).

cindycakes!
thanks for the bday wishes and research as to my other birthday-mates.
as for the shin splints: are you sure that's what they are?
if you haven't had it diagnosed, definitely try stretching them. google calf and front calf (don't know the muscle name) stretches. but be sure to stretch after you are warmed up. cold muscles stretching is a terrible idea.
best of luck!

Remember to take care of yourself - if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else when you get sick. I know, that's easier said than done when you're a mom, but it's something to remember. I'll be praying for you.
Hey, I looked up a couple of things on the web and found this.

It's the most promising thing I've read. Since I know that you have been doing a lot of running, you might want to evaluate your form. I have to pay close attention to my form because my knees scream at me if I don't.
Good luck, and keep us updated.
:)
