So, I decided that after spending a weekend with little kids that I really DO want to have kids someday.  Not tomorrow...but sometime after getting to a healthy weight and before I am 35.  Today was a good step one.  No walk with the dog (he didn't wake me up) but I did resist chocolate chip cookies.  I had a crummy afternoon at work and was thinking "mmmm...Famous Amos cookies from the vending machine would taste good right now."  And I even walked into the kitchen (home of said vending machine) to refill my water glass and said aloud to myself, "Just say no to the chocolate chips...Just say no."  And I did...I walked back to my desk, packed it in for the day and ate carrots in the car on the way to my meeting.  Pretty proud of myself for that one.
