Conversation #90: Four days late and 2 pounds short!

*This was supposed to post last week - sorry!

Well, the time came. I had to end my WW subscription. Okay, I could keep paying for it, but my 3 months was up and I am only 2 pounds shy of my goal! I bought some of their tools so that I could keep on keeping on for the rest of my life, but I just felt like I didn't need the subscription anymore. Actually, I do miss being able to look up food items easily, so I think I may ask my mom to order me their food guide book and dining out book because she has a sub right now and can do that for me. We'll see how this week ends up, but I have been going it alone with my little guidebook I keep in my purse.

Anyway, overall I lost 16 pounds on WW and only have 2 left to reach my goal. The only bad part of all of this that I have been going a little crazy buying smaller clothes. I have tried to slow myself down lately, but it has been kind of fun. I'll have to share some items with you a little later because there have been great deals out there.

Congrats on hitting so close to your goal... 16 multiplied by 3500 (which equals 1lb of fat) means that you created a deficit of 56,000 calories! That's AWESOME! And, by the way, that also means you dropped 16 softballs off your body from somewhere. Congrats, girl!

A Conversation about Babies

(Picture from here .) I think everyone I know has just had a baby, is going to have a baby, or wants to have a baby! Is there something wrong with me? I want children, with my whole heart. I really look forward to being a mom someday and more and more I hope to be able to stay home with my children. The thing is, I can wait right now. I don’t have baby fever. I feel too young. I’m only 25 – how could I possibly know how to care for a child yet; I can barely take care of my husband, dog, and me. I guess what I’m wondering is should that itch be there? Should I be craving to be a mother? Does this mean my maternal instincts are off? I just feel like an older (and hopefully more mature and less selfish) version of me would make a better mother. Plus, the husband isn’t even out of law school yet! I think about my future children: their looks, personality. In my dreams I love being pregnant (I hope that is true, but the labor part still terrifies me). I know I’ll love sewing l...

A Conversation about Absenteeism

Wow! It has been too long. I have still kept up on reading everyone’s blogs, but commenting and writing have been out the window for me. I have thought often about blog topics, and I’ll try to get back on regular posts tomorrow. Basically, the last few weeks have been full of preparing for this past Saturday. What was this past Saturday, you may ask? My incredibly intelligent and amazing husband graduated from law school!!!!!!!!! I can hardly contain my excitement. I am proud beyond words, and now we just have one last hurdle: the bar exam. I know the next two and half months will still be full of study, but it still doesn’t squash my excitement of no more late night classes, missed parties, or tension filled finals weeks. We are done! I only say “we” because it is definitely a path that affects both the student and family, but trust me, the hubby did ALL the work! Needless to say though, we had lots of family in town...

Conversation #19: A blast from the past – Monday Movie Review

Ever since the hubby and I ended our blockbuster subscription, we have really not watched too many movies. Honestly, he has been so busy that we just haven’t had the time. However, my amazing in-laws have been entertaining me during this bar exam review time, and we went to see the Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Saturday. (Picture from here .) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was exciting and thrilling, and in my opinion, I’m not sure I would take a really young child to it (maybe 10 and older…) It kept my attention, and I don’t think that it drug on too long either. Sometimes I think these epic type movies go on and on and on, but this ended at a nice time, and it had the most adorable bulldog in the cast, too! I definitely recommend it! (Picture from here .) We also recently watched The Paper Chase . I guess this movie itself is kind of blast from the past – 1973 to be exact. Our neighbor actually dropped it in our mailbox as ...
