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..........

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
