hello!!! i would love to be buddies and motivate each other!!! thanks for the info, i know i try to drink lots of water too. and you are right, life is so hard sometimes juggling a baby and a household and everything!! my diet however is a lot different from yours because i eat low carb. its something i believe strongly about and if youd like to know more just ask... even if you are unsure i highly recommend going to hulu.com and watching "fat head". its a documentary/comedy. even if you dont think you want to do low carb it still is fun to watch (if you can find time) it really changed my life!!! it changed the way i viewed fat and carbohydrates. it totally made sense to MY life. anyway... keep in touch!! congrats on your lil man!!! ;)
