let me tell you a tale....
of THE PANTS! These lovely Jeans were purchased sometime 2 years ago. Oh how lovely and roomy they were. There was a little sag in the waist but nothing I couldn't handle with a belt.

belly button? :(
I'm not thin at all right now, but once I do get back to my pre-pregnancy weight the one thing I know I'm going to miss is my "low" belly button. Pre-baby my belly button was really high up.

eating at the in-laws (gross).. what would you do?
So here's el deali-o my in-laws seem like clean people, until you walk into their house. It's not like hoarders gone mad or anything, the floor is clutter free.

B-12 vitamins?? (and vitamins in general)
What is your experience with them? I have a HUGE bottle at home, but don't take them mainly because they STINK (I didn't get the plastic capsules, what a mistake).

Hello to the new me (and new friends)
Hi all :D I'm new to this website and new to this idea of lifestyle change. I used to be "healthy" and very athletic. Then came baby and shortly after came reality of a busy life.
