I had many reasons to start blogging, here are a few of them:
- I wanted to document my family because time goes way too fast and I can always look back on my posts.
- A place to express my thoughts.
- I read SO many great blogs and I could see what a great blogging community there is for mothers and I wanted to be a part of it.
About the time that I was thinking about starting a blog I also decided that it was time to lose the weight I had gained since having my 4 boys. My baby is now 5 years old and I have had enough of this body that I hate!! After I had Ryan I continued to gain weight. When Ryan was 2 years old I started a home daycare and found myself very lonely, I would eat "kid food" to fill in the feeling of loneliness. I guess it is true when people say that food became their best friend,it sure was mine!!
So in mid July I started to watch my eating. I started to eat healthier food and discovered that I love many foods that are also good for my body!!
So when I actually started to blog I quicky realized that I would rather blog than sit in front of the T.V. and eat. I never expected it, but blogging has really helped me lose weight!!!!
I have added walking for exercise and my treat for after I have met my walking goal is to sit and read blogs or write on my own.
Just by changing what I eat, how I think and feel about food, and walking I have lost 17 pounds in about 7 weeks!!!!!

That is amazing! I started blogging partially because I felt like I was just wasting my free time away (that being the time when the kids aren't in constant need of my attentions!) in front of the tv. I think that we're kind of thinking along the same lines--it's been so much more rewarding!
Thanks for stopping in at Kiddio and leaving a comment! I really appreciate your thoughtfulness...and I'm sure I have a lot to learn about boys (you're probably giggling at my naiveness)!
Best, Amanda

Hi-got your question, Do you have a Trader Joe's in your area? If so get their chocolate bar and melt it, it comes in a 1pounder. Also you can use Baking chocolate or chocolate from Michael's is really good too. Let me know if this works. Mine was from Trader Joe's. Good Luck!
