Summer ‘not-so’ Lovin’

Well, that’s not totally true, I guess. I LOVE that all the kids are home for the summer and love their energy…the laughter in the house is music to Tom’s and my ears. But have you ever tried to lose weight with five growing kids under your roof – each requiring any hi-carb variety they can get their hands on? And let’s not even talk about the chips in my house!

So some people say the holidays are the hardest??? For me, so far…it’s the summer.

But it’s PORTION CONTROL, Valerie. So if I sneak a fork onto their plates, it’s just a bite…and, thankfully, that’s been enough for me. Hey, I’m not going to let all of my hard work go to waste over some heaping plate of pizza with extra cheese!!! So for as many temptations I’ve experienced this summer, I have had just as many victories.

But, geez…how come some of these kids barely gain an ounce? It’s not fair!

Happy Summer,
Val
