Weigh in Wednesday.

Yeah...it's back. If anyone read back then...you may remember I tried to do this a LONG time ago. Well, like most things I try and do, I ummmm....didn't stick with it. Doesn't say much for me, does it?? BAD with discipline! Can't help it. Anyways...I'm trying to get SERIOUS about losing weight now. I pretty much gave myself a free pass the 8 weeks of maternity leave. I just wasn't quite ready to start dieting. And my SWEET tooth...holy moly it's intense. Now that I am back at work I feel like I can be MUCH more disciplined about eating healthy...now the working out, that's another story. I have a few times, but I'm still trying to figure out this whole waking up in the morning, getting myself ready, nursing, etc. and getting to work on time. *Thank GOODNESS Collins has been sleeping consistently from about 9 or 9:30 pm until 6-7 am.* That definitely helps a TON but I still can't decide whether to wake her up to feed her to keep her on a schedule or to let her sleep as long as she can which makes it harder for me to plan my mornings....anyways, I'm sure I'll have that figured out soon. I'm also sure just as soon as I figure it out, something will change! Such is life!

Anyhoo...I gained 27 pounds during pregnancy, I realize that isn't too bad BUT I was significantly above my "happy weight" when I got pregnant...so even though I have almost lost all of my pregnancy weight I still feel like I have a LONG road ahead because I desperately want to get back to my happy weight. *I will add that even though the scale shows I am only a couple of pounds off from where I started when I got pregnant, I feel like I don't look it at all! I feel SO flabby and everything about my body is just different, ugh!* BUT, again...so worth it when I look at my sweet girl:)

I am going to start posting my progress on the ole world wide web. For myself, and for the hopes I will think in my mind that someone else read this and it may inspire me to REALLY stick with a diet and be disciplined, ha! *Wishful thinking* I am setting my goal at 15 pounds by INDEPENDENCE DAY! Here goes nothing!!!! Wish me luck:)

Goals: workout three to four times a week, limit to ONE diet coke a day, NO sweets (except for either a WW popsicle or skinny cow ice cream sandwich!) Cannot cut out sweets completely. When I say no sweets I mean no chocolate chip cookies (the subway ones are a weakness for me) cake, milkshakes, etc.

I realize NO one else cares about this, but I like to write stuff out and that's what this blog is for!

Here's to hoping I look like this by the end of the summer....

In my dreams..........

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
