100 Days

Well, I just started my 100 days without any type of sweets or soda. I love to break things down into 100 day charts. I always make a chart to count down the last 100 days of my pregnancy--even though I usually start counting down in my head when I have around 260 or so. The day I find out I'm pregnant, I calculate the due date and count how many days I have left and though I try not to think about how long is left, the thought crosses my mind several times a day. Anyway, after every pregnancy I get to a certain weight and I start my 100 days with no sweets. It all starts this week--I have 99 days left. These first few days are sooo hard, but I know after a week or two, I don't miss the sugar at all.
I definately hope this shrinks the tummy a bit. Lincoln is over 31/2 months old and I still have people asking me when my baby is due. The thing that gets me is that people will ask me when my baby is due while I'm holding Lincoln!! That's bad!! We went swimming on the 24th of July and I was sitting on the lawn chair thinking that when I went to bed that night, I was finally going to make it a week without someone commenting to me about being pregnant. Well, I was walking out with Lincoln and I started talking to this lady. Linc was getting fussy, so I made the comment that when you're the 4th baby you get dragged around a lot. Well this lady points to my tummy and says so this baby coming is your 5th. No, I replied this is just leftovers from the 4th!! I'm on a 5 day streak this week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it 2 more days--it would really boost my self-esteem!!1
