*Sunday Script*
"Oh, no, we're not asking you to lose weight. That would be illegal. We just want you to be healthy, by eating less. So go home, weigh yourself on a scale, write than down. Then subtract 20 from that number. And weigh that. Yeah." Jill to Allison from the movie Knocked up..

*Danny the Dragon book review*
Author: Tina Turbin
Illustrations: Aija Jasuna
I was recently given the opportunity(honor) to review a children's book titled "Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy" by Tina Turbin. I was so excited to receive this in the mail and to read it with my son. The book is about a small boy "Jimmy" and a day at the beach with his family, his mother, father, and his sister. Like most children do he was walking along the beach picking up shells and putting them in a bucket to take home. Until he discovers a very unusual shell....its magic! It speaks to him...and once he gets home he makes two very new, very special friends; Danny and his navigator Skipper. The story is one of those that teaches you a lesson without you even realizing it, teaches you to be polite and open to new and interesting people....even if they may be different from you. It reminds me of what fairy tales are supposed to be about...a wonderful story that still sneaks that moral in on you! The illustrations in the book were just beautiful, very vibrant and colorful. One of the only drawbacks for me was the fact that the book was more for children that are older than my 16 month old...more for pre-K aged kids; but my sweet boy loved the pictures! Just so you know its a cliff hanger...leaves room for new adventures of Danny and Skipper. I enjoyed the opportunity to read and review the book!

*Week One*
Okay soooo..I really need to catch up on my posts, but while I had a free minute I thought that I would blog about my new adventure. I have joined weight watchers(WW) my awesome friend Jen is my partner in crime and my meeting buddy for this. I really think its going to help to have someone right there with me every step of the way. I have came to the conclusion that I am way overweight and want to lose some, for a couple of reasons. (1) I need to do it for me (2) We are planning a girls day coming up in June, (3) my Brother is getting married in July and I am a bridesmaid..with 6 other 20 somethings who have NO children...yeah I know in hot pink..(4) its going to be summertime soon and I am too young to be in a one piece AND last but not least with talks of baby V number 2 in the works(Just talk mind you) I want to be in great shape that way if this one doesn't make me sick like its brother I don't want to be WAY huge afterwards. :)
So since this is my blog... I am going to try and post my updates once a week...hopefully they will involve weight lose, they may involve me struggling and b$t%hing but either way I want to share my journey to hopefully a lighter healthier me.
