Open Talk Mom Welcomes You!

Wow has it ever been way tooo long posting an update here!!! I've been really busy with my VA business, which is GREAT, not to mention all the activities summer has brought.

Looking at my photos here, you will see I was blessed by a visit from my sister, who is the other 1/2 of Open Talk Mom, Christie Garcia. She and her family were here for just over 3 weeks, and we had a great time!!! I wish she were still here; it's not the same without her.

I haven't stepped on the scale yet today, although its been a week since I last weighed myself. I do feel thinner again though and look thinner in my tummy area. Also, I feel like my metabolism has increased! I'm hungrier more often, like starving before lunch and dinner and when I get up in the morning. It's weird, but I think it's from the exercise I've been doing (what little there's been), eating breakfast every morning and what I've been eating. I've been having a bowl of whole grain cereal… Continue
