So normally I don’t like to get down on people about their parenting choices. Judge not etc., but there was a lady who came into my work today who had her 2 1/2 month old strapped in an umbrella stroker with no head or neck support at all. Of course I didn’t say anything to her but I don’t understand why people are so ignorant about stroller and car seat safety. Ugh.

Feeling Fat

and not so sassy. i have 100+lbs to lose and it’s been slow going.

I really need to stick with myfitnesspal for longer than 2 days at a time. Also stop eating so much damn sugar. I’m torn between doing paleo/low carb and just focusing on tracking and seeing how I do. I’ve been much more active lately which is great but my knees are so so messed up that even a short 20 minute walk is painful. 

It’s a double edged sword, really. I need to exercise to lose weight, but the extra weight puts stress on my joints and I usually end up injuring myself which makes me unable to be active and I gain even more. Baby steps I guess. Henry is napping right now so I think we will go for a walk when he wakes up.
