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..........

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

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

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
