Hi all!  The dust has settled around here, and I&#8217;m evaluating my first day.  I&#8217;ve had 40 ounces of water - 8 more to go.  And I&#8221;m on my way out for a brisk walk. Mission accomplished!
Now for the downside- I had 4 lemon cookies and about 6 Hershey&#8217;s kisses today. Not [...]]]></description>

Heavy stuff - no pun intended.
Last week I realized my back was sore, my ankles hurt, and I just didn&#8217;t have any energy.  I had a cold that lingered.  When I finally had enough I was faced with the brutal reality.  My lifestyle is making me sick. 
My Struggle

Hello World!
Please stay tuned as my site becomes re-purposed to chronicle one woman&#8217;s quest to lose weight while raising two children, and struggling to become a full-time freelance writer.  Did I mention I have to also make cupcakes for my son&#8217;s school party, and learn how to pickle brussel sprouts?
The journey begins in fifteen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Susan **:
Today you called me with a lot of questions about epidurals (the shot you get so you don&#8217;t feel anything &#8220;down there&#8221;, as you so aptly put it), sleeping through the night, and at what age we put our children into their own rooms.
