Got My Money & My Weight On My Mind...
Dear Diary,I got some serious explaining to do. Bank of America called last night wondering when I was going to make a payment on my business card. $854 minimum payment? Ha, you know I didn't pick up that phone, right? Shoot, shit is tight right now and businesses everywhere are suffering, including mine, so try me some time next month. I've been discussing with hubby that it just might be time to step back and reevaluate the focus of our LLC. Unfortunately, that might mean that www.soulfulsynergy.com will be shut down. No love lost though. I mean, I gotta be real with myself. We haven't invested much time into updating in such a very long time and economically, it probably makes better sense to just move everything over to the blogosphere anyway. There are no major fees associated with blogging clients so that's a valid option. Hmmmm? Decisions, decisions, decisions. In other world news, thanks to this amazingly faithful blogger, the topic on my mind has also been weight. Since giving birth to DJ and JD, my behind went from an even 100 pounds to 130 pounds. I know, I know, that's not really a HUGE weight gain, but when you're 4'11 like me, all that weight is hitting two areas - my pooch and my boobs. I'm comfortable with my body though, as evident by this picture over here, but I know I would look way better if I shed just 10 pounds. So, I woke up this morning, jumped on the scale, and waited - 132.2 pounds. DAMN! Where did the 2.2 pounds come from!?! I've been quite successfully with maintaining 130 pounds, but now, I'm inching up! What could be the root cause? Starbucks? Frozen dinners? Cookies? Candy? Martinis? Man, with so many vices, a sista gotta come down quick or my ass is gonna start sagging even more! In the end, it's funny how both my weight and my money are weighing heavily on my mind. :sigh:
Sincerely,
Soulfull

I feel you. I was always tiny & could eat whatever I wanted. Until... I hit age 35 and in six months went from 110 to 140!
I'm a shade over 5'5" and at my heaviest, I hit 160lbs. My doc said that it was partially an age thing. I could NOT lose it. But, sure enough, when I hit 45, my hormones adjusted and I got to 140 with little effort & now I'm back to 130-135 - depending on how I eat and exercise.
I guess I'm trying to reassure you that a big part of our weight is due to our gender and ages. My doc back then told me that I would just have to work harder to keep the pounds off until my body settled down. (And don't beat yourself up. You got some beautiful babies out of it. I didn't even have that to contend with!)
Peace my sis,
Free
