So last night, while watching "The Biggest Loser" and eating a chocolate dipped rice crispy treat - a beacon of light, an epiphany or maybe it was gas - hit me. All these shows about self improvement - "The Biggest Loser", "Inner Beauty", "Diet Tribe", etc - just makes me feel guilty about myself. I work out pretty faithfully, eat well and for the most part lead a pretty healthy lifestyle but when ever one of these shows come on - I feel bad about the few unhealthy choices I do make. I'm not eating a box of girl scout cookies everyday (I do feel like it though, Thin Mints are the best) but if I do indulge every once in a while...it's okay. I have to remind myself of that and not hate myself for it. On the opposite side of that, I guess I should not get so upset when I watch one of those medical shows about a 800 lb man. (I've actually yelled at the TV - "How could you let yourself get to that point").

So the pictures of Olivia - aren't they cute? I know they are, she is so darn cute. Her vocabulary is getting better and better everyday. She knows and where and how to say "Belly, nose, mouth, eyes, ears, cheeks, teeth and head". My goal is to get it on video - I tried recording her doing that but soon as she sees the camera, she stops. I have to trick here... Keep on a lookout for the video.
