The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Well I think it is high time I became a better person for myself and my daughter. I am making two resolutions for the new year. Lose 20 lbs and become a more frugal spender.



I haven't lost all the weight I gained while I was pregnant and would love to get back into my pre-prego jeans. I kept them, just so I would be inspired to get back into them. I have to admit, my daughter was born in September of 2006 and I am just now being inspired to get back into them. I think I need to do this more for my self-esteem than anything. I don't always feel good looking at myself in the mirror. It kinda depresses me a little. But, it is time to get off the pot and do something about it.



I was an average sized woman before I got pregnant, wearing a size 10 or 13 jeans, and that is what I want to get back to. I don't want to be a skinny momma, just an average sized woman with some meat on her bones. I don't like real skinny woman or men, they look unhealthy. I want to look healthy, feel good and be healthy.



I am doing this for another reason, I had developed gestational diabetes when I was pregnant and the doctor told me that I would probably get diabetes later in life if I didn't keep myself healthy. So, I think it is time for a change in my lifestyle.



About becoming a frugal spender, I admit I sometimes splurge when I know I shouldn't. With the way the economy is going latley, it is time to change that. I have decided that if I started making some homemade items, then I wouldn't spend as much at the store.



I am going to start making my own bar soap, make some homemade gifts. I am going to purchase a couple of books on how-tos and go from there. I will put my progress here as it develops.
