Discouraged

So, after all of the dog stuff yesterday, I took the kids to IHOP for dinner. I guess that just blew the diet out of the water because I woke up this morning almost 2 pounds heavier. I really wanted to switch from Atkins to a healthy balanced diet, but it feels like I'm just not succeeding at that very well. Its really discouraging! Not sure what my next step should be. Keep at it? Or switch back to Atkins. Ugh. Today was our first day back to school. Crazy day! So much to catch up on and reschedule. Luckily tomorrow is the weekend because I'm toast! Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm going to be deciding on my next move in the diet world, and writing a paper for graduate classes. I have GOT to stay caught up on that! Also going to try to make it to Zumba tomorrow morning!

A Little Intro!

Let's see......where to begin. I've had weight loss blogs before, but it seems like I may need a more well rounded place to spew my word vomit from time to time. I am so much more than a 40 year old trying to lose weight. I'm a mom of one beautiful 12 year old. Soon to be stepmom to three wonderful kids from 10 to 17. Soon to be wife to an amazing, complicated, sweet man, a Title I teacher, and a graduate student finishing my Reading Specialist masters. I love to create and publish food porn and have probably taken a million pictures of my kids. I also spend waaaaaaay too much time surfing the web. So.....let's go from there, shall we?
