Slowly but surely...

So it has been just a little over a month since I got serious about losing this baby weight. It has been rough and it is hard to get good workouts in with a active 8 month old. Although chasing him is a workout in itself. So here it is, since my last blog I am down......11.6 pounds!!!!!!! YAY!!!!


I have to say that at first I didn't think I would lose but a few pounds. I got a little down but then I just told myself you CAN do this. I have been walking/running at least 2 miles a day, well depending on Rhett's mood. I also do 200 crunches a day and light weights.  Try to tone baby fat is tough but I am seeing results finally. I am also eating lots of fruit and veggies, not my favorite thing but you gotta do what you gotta do. I drink at least 2 liters of water a day and maybe a diet dr pepper. NO SWEET TEA!!!! That maybe the worse thing but I have to.


I know I still need to lose about 20 pounds to be at my pre-pregnancy weight. I thought before that I would NEVER get there but now I know that I will get there and I will go below that weight. I also pulled out a pair of my skinny jeans the other day and they are in my room haunting me.  Nothing like a little motivation to make you work harder.


Well that's all for now. I hope that when I check in next month I will have more great news for you guys.  I am so happy with how things are going.

Time to take it off

OK guys well I have finally made my mind up to get this stinking baby weight off. I also figured I would blog every week to show my progress. That way I will be motivated since I have to write about it. So I weighted this morning and I hated what the scaled said. I have given myself 4 months to lose 35 pounds. This is a realistic goal and I can achieve this.


I plan on going to the gym everyday and walking at least once a day maybe twice. I know it will also help chasing RJ around since he is mobile the days. I am going to eat right and stay away from sodas and other drinks. Time for water and water only. I know I will have struggles and temptations but I am ready to face them head on.


I hope that weeks I am don't do good I have positive feedback from you guys who read this. I keep telling myself if took me 9 months to put this weight on I am not going to lose it over night. So today starts now. I am fixing to head out for a walk with RJ and Payton. Good Luck Me!!!

Yes I finally blogged again

So I haven't blogged in forever so much has been going on in the last few months.  It was so much easier to blog while pregnant. I didn't have to change RJ around he just rolled around in my belly. So here are just a few of the things that are going on. So first off I broke my arm pretty bad.  I had to wear a cast for 8 weeks. It was the worst time of my life. I would go through 30 hours of labor again to not have gone through that. I have a few scars from the break but at least I have no more cast.  The worse part of having a broken arm was taking care of RJ. I felt so useless the first few weeks. I couldn't hardly hold him, it just broke my heart but I was determined to be able to take care of him. Do you know how hard it is to change a diaper with one arm??? Well let me tell you it isn't easy. I plan on writing a book on how to take care of a baby with a broken arm. I am sure I will be on the New York Times bestseller list, lol.


So speaking of RJ he is 6 months old now. I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital. Now he is crawling, drooling an will have our first tooth.  Its so much fun being a mom to him. He really makes my job easy. If I ever have another kid I hope he or she is just like their big brother.I may never get the chance to have another one so I will forever be happy with the little guy screaming right now. 


I don't really know what else to say its hard to think with RJ screaming like a girl. That is the new sound he has learned to make and I am thrilled, not. So hope everyone who reads this enjoys. I am going to try to stay up to date with this now.
