Okay, so the post from the other day may be true, but my pants were a bit snug today too... I've been hanging out in old shorts/gardening shorts, so I didn't notice. MUST get back to exercising! I had a long talk with a friend last weekend about the "eat right for your blood type" theory, and she is very much a believer. I'd read the book when I checked it out from the library a few years ago. I found it interesting, but we weren't going to change our lifestyle for it (I'm an A and Greg is an O).
She was very adamant about me giving up potatoes and red meat products. I'm working on it! I've not had any potatos since Saturday, I have had a little bit of ham since that's all we had on hand to have sandwiches for lunch earlier this week. I am finding that I'm incredibly hungry throughout the day, and I don't know what to do to curb the feeling. I've had popcorn twice this week, just for something to munch on.
We'll see how this goes, I need to make myself a cheat sheet of what I should and should not eat.

Getting Fat?
If you need a laugh...
I never really feel thin. I usually just feel "healthy" (how do you like that term? or "athletic")... So Monday afternoon I started feeling a bit of stretching in my back/sides. I thought, "that's strange." On Tuesday it was worse, and I finally put my finger on what it felt like. It felt like the stretching that occurs when you are pregnant and the skin is trying to stretch to accommodate the giant belly. AM I GETTING FAT? It was better this morning, and then pulling again this evening, it gets worse with bad posture at the computer.
The girls and I were watching some home video from Sunday night, and now I see what it was that happened. I was giving the kids a gentle throw down the slip-n-slide. And come to think of it, I did the same thing on Saturday... On the video, you can clearly see the oblique work out of picking up, swinging, and releasing of the child along the left side of the body, and down the slip-n-slide.
Problem solved, crisis averted, I'm not getting more fat, I'm getting more exercise!
