Well, today marks the 6th day of my diet. I think that I am finally over feeling starving all the time! I decided to start the Weight Watchers Diet and get serious about losign this baby weight. I mean if Jennifer Hudson can do it, so can I!!! LOL! Actually, it is not all that bad. Fruits and veggies are all 0 points, so I can eat them all day long if I want! I like WW because you can still go out to eat and eat a piece of bread if you fill like it, you just have to log the points. Being the anal person that I am, I love writing down all of my points and keeping track! I have found one great thing that works really well when you are starving, it is called a Full Bar. They are actually pretty good and fill you up!
I am on this diet with some friends from work. That is another thing that I recommend, if you are like me and hate dieting, is to find some friends that want to lose some weight as well and do it together and hold each other accountable. We weigh in every Thursday together, so it does give you some motivation to lose something each week, especailly if you are telling other people!
I will keep you all posted on my progress!
So Blessed!

Family Update
For those of you that follow my blog, I thought it was time to update on how life is going.
Jon has started baseball season and I am a single mom :) LOL! No, I love that he has this passion and has the opportunity to coach these boys and be a role model in their lives. Jon has finally become fully certifited to teach Earth/Space science, so that is a blessing! Jon is also going to go back to get his Masters in Professional Leadership to move up the education ladder! Who knows when he will begin this journey, but I am proud of him either way. He is such a great teacher and role model to his students. I am very honored and proud that he is mine! Jon and my dad have started a new business...Mac Daddy Custom Carts. It should be fully running in the next few months. Mac Daddy is builds custom golf carts to anyones hearts desire! They can do a Gator cart, a Seminole cart, you name it! Basically, they take a basic golf cart, put a lift kit and bigger tires and rims, get it painted whatever color you want, add radios/fog lights/extra seats/etc. It is a really neat business and I know that they are going to do great. More on that to come as soon as we get the website up and running. So, start saving your money, because you know that you will want one!
Blake has been in daycare for a little over a month now and she has been doing great! The first few days were tough, but she loves it now! She is such a happy baby! She loves her swing, bounce seat, and watching the other kids at daycare! She even "made" me a Valentines present. Of course, she always is dressed to impress! The teachers at daycare always say that cannot wait to see what she is wearing. Thank you to Gymboree, Baby Gap, The Childrens Place, Macy, and Dillards for making my daughter look so cute everyday. I honestly should take out stock in each of these places, because I spend a small fortune each time. Other than that, Blake has been sleeping through the night since she was about 10 weeks. And I mean, really sleeping throught the night, from 8 pm to 7 am! It is awesome! She is now rolling over and grabbing her toys and noticing everything. She also has the cutest little laugh! Blake is still not a great napper during the day, but I will take that and have her sleep all night anyday! Blake's baptism is coming up in a few weeks and Jon and I are so excited! We already took our parents baptism class and we are ready to go! Blake is about 11 pounds and 24 inches long now, tall and skinny! She will be starting eating rice cereal in a few weeks, when she is 4 months, so I know she will put on weight with that. She eats all the time, but is just tiny. I am jealous...lol! Ohhh, Blake did have her first cold at 11 weeks. Being at daycare and exposed to all of the germs that other kids bring with them, gave Blake her first sickness. She went to the Doctor, but it was just a cold and had to run its course. The poor baby was pitiful! I had to do the saline treatment a couple times a day, so she could breath! But, she is feeling so much better and back to her normal happy self!
As for me, work is going good. I am finally back to the bump and grind and back to the real world. I am still trying to loose this extra 10 pounds of baby weight and will be running in a 5k on Saturday. I have been kind of training by running every night that I can. We will see how it goes! Wish me luck! Not much else going on with me, just working and spending time with my baby!
