I'm doing 20 things
Just had baby #4 three months ago, so I’m ready to FINALLY get back to prebaby weight. I’m up to 165 now, looking to get down to about 130, though I’d be happy anywhere in the 130s, or in a size 6. I’m on WW again, and I’m in a biggest loser competition. Let’s hope I can get that 27 pounds again, and then some!

How I did it
It made me
relieved 
How I did it: In stages: Took pictures. Logged on to ebay. uploaded pictures. Detailed the listings. Sold the items. Shipped them. Celebrated the new space! Read how I did it…
It made me
feel better 
How I did it: I vowed to slow down and think before I reacted, taking a deep breath if necessary. I slipped up a little after a few days, but then I reminded myself--"seriously, girl, he's only 2 1/2. Be the adult already!" Now I only yell if there is immediate danger (stepping in the street, touching somehting hot, steamrolling his infant brother, etc.). My kids and I are all a lot happier. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel sexy
How I did it: I made an appointment for the kids' nap time, then set off to the salon. It took about 2.5 hours, and 3 shades of red, in addition to my own natural shade, but I feel so much better. Read how I did it…

It’s a slow start, but it’s something!
We just refied to a 15 year, and I would really love it if we could step it up even more and get it payed off in 5 years! Then we would have zero debt (including car payments, etc). Right around that time I’ll start working again, too!
