Aren't kids a work out?

I mean, when you think about it, I lift two 20+ lb weights and a 30 lb weight all the time, sometimes two at once! I watch other people hold my kids and 'uuugghhh...they are heavy!'. To me it's not so bad, I do it all the time - as they both want in my arms at the same time. So why am I not losing more weight?

Well if I think about it I could be gaining muscle? I guess I eat more than I did, since I can't get away with Lipton rice or Mac and cheese for my whole meal. It doesn't help that my husband loads my plate with twice as much as I'd eat! 

So the plan? Eat less, exercise, stop my peanut m&m fetish when working late at night.

what about you, what's your plan?
