Okay so this week I am down 1/2 pound. I am not thrilled in fact I freaked a bit when I weighed in. Why? Well I actually recorded my calories every day this past week (even 10 calorie items) and exercised like a mad woman ick. After listening to a few encouraging words from my group they somewhat convinced me my body is in some shock that I am eating and moving.
I really have horrible eating habits. I get busy and totally forget to eat and then I remember and eat too much but I still don’t hit a good calorie goal. I imagine my body thinks it is starving but that is only because my brain doesn’t have eyes. I have to do something to change and recording calories at least until I realize what I should eat from habit and exercising until my legs become jello are going to become mandatory.
I really want to lose 9 more pounds in the next seven weeks. Now I know that isn’t a huge number and hopefully it is attainable. If I make it that would be 10 pounds in 10 weeks and I would bring in $20 from a challenge in my group. That would pay back my dues for the year plus a little. I know somehow I can do this but it will require commitment. So drop me a comment, harass me or whatever suits you but don’t hesitate to hold me accountable.
Coming Sunday I will also start to post with The Bloggest Loser. I am excited I was approved as a participant! If you would like to check them out just click on the button below. Have a great day ~ Heather

Before I present the review of this book I really want to thank Mila for her wonderful addition of autographing my book. The giveaway copy will also be an autographed copy as well. I have enjoyed the short emails back and forth with Mila and I can tell she is very passionate about her book as you can see if you read it as well. Now onto the review…
The Attitde Girl by Mila Bernadkin was an energizing read. You really have to be on your toes to keep up with seventeen year old Vicky. She has an attitude all of her own. Don’t worry about her telling you exactly what she thinks because you are going to hear about it. Life revolves around Vicky in everyone’s eyes but her own. Does this sound like a child in your home? Well life has a way of changing each of us and it is abouut Vicky’s turn. Through financial issues, relationships and extraordinary events Vicky slowly has a change of attitude. The storms of life blow sand at Vicky smoothing out her rough edges.
I love Mila’s writing style shown through the character of Vicky. You get to see her rough attitude by how she verbally speaks but you also get to see what is going on in her mind which at times make you understand just how she has come to the conclusion of her attitude at the moment. While Vicky is rough she is genuine. I really enjoyed reading about her attitude and at times I looked back at my own teen years and said wow I was like that. Yikes it is true but an awakening all the same. If you have a teen in your home with an attitude this just might be something that you can relate to. Pick it up and you won’t be disappointed.
