Happy Thanksgiving from The Johnston Family

Seasons change. Life changes with them.
Guess what I'm not doing today!? I'm NOT stepping on the scale! I've decided to wait until after Thanksgiving, and possibly mid December to step on the scale again! I have 12 more pounds to go, and I know I can do it, I just need to get in the right mindset -- and do my own thing! Repeat after me: Not having to step on a scale weekly is liberating! It really is! Yes, support is a HUGE factor in successfully living a healthy life and losing weight, but for some people, there comes a time when the support…
Weigh Over 350 Lbs? Eat Free!! Huh?
While searching for a pic of a scale with an X through it, I ran across something REALLY really disturbing. It's an article about Heart Attack Grill: Weight Over 350 Lbs? Eat Free! I'd never even heard of this!!! Their latest initiative? If you weigh over 350 pounds, you get to eat for free! Outlined in their new sub-site, the restaurant is offering “absolutely unlimited food! All you can eat, every day, all day, every night, all night. No to-go orders. Drinks not included, must weigh in with Doctor or Nurse before each burger.“ You know, because this is JUST…
My fleece diaper covers leak! What do I do?
The following question has come up several times lately: My fleece diaper covers leak! What do I do? Remember, when using fleece covers, it's not 100% waterproof, just like with wool (and even pul - polyurethane laminate - if you don't change often enough). It's not that it leaks, it just compression wicks, which means that when it touches something, (compression), and the diaper is full of moisture, that's got to escape Try adding doubler and changing just a tad more often! This should help with compression wicking, or compression moisture. Also, if you're making your own, try doubling…
Overheard between kids: Subject – Beard
As most of your kiddos probably do, my kids really do come up with the craziest conversations! I have said, for years now, that I should just write a book, but instead of adding another iron to my ever-growing fire, I'll just start posting them here! This was a conversation overheard between Hawk (3) and Kylie (11). Hawk, staggering like a drunk person into the kitchen opens the fridge and starts in, "Where's my beard?" Kylie replies, "we don't drink beer, Hawk." "But dad does," Hawk says. "No, he doesn't," Kylie comes back. "Does Papa?" asks Hawk. "No, we don't…

Between the Kids – The Johnston Blog
I would like to thank all of you who have followed my progress over the past several months! I've had a great time shrinking and learning more about health and fitness. When I started this blog, I really wanted it to be a place where I could post updates about my weight loss and kiddos - more of a personal blog. It's evolved into so much for, and to my readers, I am thankful. (don't you just love that big "but" attached to things?) Because it has evolved, Andy and I (well, mainly I) have decided to start a blog…
