Max and the Two Bears

We have a bank up here that we call the Bear Bank. At the moment, I can't even tell you the real name of it. But they sell the cutest little bears. I got two of them this week as a present. I named the one Strawberry. Bet you can guess which one.



The other day I was driving with Max. I told him about my two bears cuz they are sitting on my dashboard. I told him I had named the one Strawberry, but couldn't think of a name for the boy bear. I told him he could help me name it. He thought for a few minutes. Then he said "Pancakes." So the two bears are Strawberry and Pancakes. I thought that was pretty imaginative of him.

Before and After Part 2

Ok, I'm ready to post before and after photos. One was taken a year ago and the other was taken yesterday after playing dress up in Lala's closet. Which one is which?

No Pictures

I have realized why people should always take 'before' pictures when they start losing weight. I put on my new blouse that I was so excited about yesterday, handed Monique the camera and told her to take pictures of me. Then I looked at them. And I hate every last one of them. All I can see is all the fat I'm still carrying. And I have nothing to look at to see how much I've lost. Yes, my clothes fit looser. Yes, I can buy smaller sizes. But that isn't enough right now. I wanted to see with my eyes there is a difference. So I won't delete the pictures taken yesterday. But I probably won't post them either. I guess I could do the Biggest Loser thing and hold my clothes up in front of me and then drop them. I'm just not sure that will work. So for now, no new pictures.
