Inspiration comes in many forms. I find myself struggling to lose the 10-15 lbs staring at me everyday keeping me just slightly out of my range. I recently had inspiration.
Daughter: Momma? Is Ginger fat?
Ginger is my old dog that bites and my parents lovingly care for now since the birth of our children. She is a chow mix and just gorgeous but her breed makes her appear to be larger than she is. She really isn't fat, just furry.
Me: (attempting to get a laugh from my husband as well) No, Ginger is just big boned.
Daughter: Are you big boned too?
.....and that was the beginning of my serious change of eating habits. "Waiter, change my order to a salad and make it snappy!" More moderation, less sugar, if you please.
p.s. I kidnapped this picture from my mom's blog "Madame sews a lot". If you would like to learn more about decorating around your pet (did I just say decorating around your pet BA HAHAHAHAHAHA!) Check her out.

Umm, I lost 14...but I have 86 more to go. Now, don't you feel better? Hugs to you on Monday!!!
I have pounds to lose too Robin. I exercise 5 days a week for 45 minutes each day. It keeps me healthy but I can't seem to lose the weight. I have about 25 pounds I need to shed or maybe even more. Salads are good. Your dog Ginger is adorable and so is your smart daughter. Take care.
Congratulations on the 14 Holly. You must be doing something right. That is fantastic. Glory, I have been eating 1 spinach salad a day in hopes of making up for overindulgent calories. I would really like to hit my goal before the Holidays so I can stay conscious of moderation and don't just "throw it"
Boy I can't wait till she askes if aunt Shelly is big boned! hahaha
I think I'll buy a new rug to match Phoebe!
