FINALLY

OK so I finally finished my on-line continuing ed. SOOOOOOOO boring but still better than sitting in a room with someone just yacking to kill those 29 hours. Yay, I can send in for my renewal of my appraisal license which is not cheap by the way. I paid about $800 to take the courses and the renewal. I guess if I would not have been a procrastinator and waited to the last months or so... in two years $800 is not much. Anyway, Kari and I are doing sooo good (for a whole two days, lol) we went walking and we are not eating bad stuff anymore. Hopefully she'll lose at least a couple of pounds so that she can see that she can do it. I am so proud of her cause she never gives up. She dances tap, ballet, jazz does gymnastics and softball. It breaks my heart that little kids her age are so mean, but she manages to get through and has a lot of friends no matter what. OMG, I'm crying just typing this. I am so proud of her and I hope that I can help her get healthy. I never realized how much bad stuff we ate and I thought that just having her in her activities would help. Some people just need more than others. Wish us luck!

I wish you luck! It will take a big "effort" on ya'lls part. Not sacrifice, I was once told that only Jesus was sacrificed. We have an obligation to be healthy! I am not a pro, but I sure am tring also! EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS! Keep it up! Happy to hear she is involved!

I know how you feel. My Kayla is going down that same road. I know it can be very hard. You want to give her everything she wants to make her happy, but at the same time, it's not always a good thing. You need to be strong for her. Don't forget to set the example. That is my challenge. Lord knows I love to eat. Being home all the time, I watch lots of talk shows, and there has been lots of talk about Jessica Seinfeld's cooking book. She aims mainly on kids and how to hide the veggies into food without them knowing. I plan on getting it. You should look into it. Make sure you tell her to always keep her head up high and love who she is. She is a beautiful girl! That's good that she has lots of friends and family that love her, even some she has never met....like me. Give her a big HUG from me and keep me posted on how you both are doing. I could use some pointers too. Love you both.

I'm so glad that you and her are doing so well. We love Kari to death (even though we don't spend much time with each other). I know how bad kids can be and how it that feels myself being chubby since I was a kid and being a girl doesn't help. My boys are not stick figures either but as long as they are active and are not eating so bad I can live with that. I hope you continue on your journey with her. Take pictures so she can see her own results and track her weight loss; that’s always a motivational boost. Love ya! Jenny
