But as you can tell I haven't been around *blush*. We've been so busy lately. First, of course, with my DH laid off from his job I didn't have much time for myself on the computer. Then my parents were in town for a week early in the month. We've also been looking for a new place to live in the area where DH's new job is. Finally found a place last week and now I'm frantically trying to pack up all our stuff cuz we are moving on Oct. 1st!!

All the activity and stress hasn't been so good for sticking to healthy habits unfortunately. With DH commuting to his new job I am unable to go to Curves now, and by the time he gets home and the kids are in bed I've been exhausted so no exericse lately. I can't wait for this move to be over and our lives can FINALLY get back to normal.

So anyway, that's my little update, I should be able to be around a lot more in just a couple weeks.

Sorry to hear you're being stressed like that. And I do relate to the excercise thing. The only time I can schedule for excercise is after my son goes to bed and I am really exhausted by then. But don't worry Oct 1st will be here in no time.

I'm a stay at home mom, but the problem is I've been spending every waking minute trying to pack up all our stuff and run all the various errands I've needed to do...besides all the normal stuff of feeding/dressing/trying not to strangle my kids! That and there's practically not even one square foot of clean floor space in our entire apartment, LOL! I could maybe jump up and down in one spot, but I'm not sure how many calories that would burn ;-) Hard to imagine how I've packed so many boxes yet there is still CRAP absolutely everywhere!! We have way too much stuff!

Speaking of being busy I need to get my butt off the computer and in the shower before I'm late for my 4 yr olds dentist appt!

Well it sounds like right now you are getting plenty of exercise.
