Fall Photo Bomb

So I had a huge post typed out and then decided that maybe sharing through photos might be a better tonight.


                                            Here is our LO's with her friend Froggy.

 I am really happy with how the shirt and the bow turned out. I hope that her Christmas ones will go as well.

 I love this outfit. I find her looks have really started to change

So although I was hoping to follow The Baby Lead Weaning, we gave the baby some "solids" in an effort to gain some sleep at night.

                                                                       This is new

                                                               Not good, not good

hmmm maybe this isn't so bad

Things went over much better with actual food

I hope you have enjoyed some of our fall pictures. I hope to have some actual content up soon. I just was not feeling writing a big blog after our large lobster dinner.

I SUCK !!!!

So I suck. I was so pumped up to start eating right and working out, and it only lasted like two weeks. I have not ran in weeks or really watched what I was eating at all. I have lost all motivation. It is just so much easier to sit on my butt and play with my LO then to go running in the cold.
So I am going to stop being so lazy and overindulging and start being healthy. I have to remember that I am not only doing this for myself, but to set a good example for my daughter. I also have to remember that this will only be a short time of complete crappiness for a life long of health.
Alright people back to calorie counting, blogging and exercise.

Three cheers for Practice Weeks

So as you may have noticed I have been bad and have not updated my blog in a couple of days ( ok more like a week). Hey this is only practice time any how. I still have 10 more days until I have to kick it into high gear and get it done.
Today we went for day 2 week 2 run. I hope that at some point it starts to get easier, because it still sucks. On a positive note my husband found a trail for us to run on which is much nicer then running along side a busy street.
In order to get ready for my big push to 30 I have been trying to set some goals. I am struggling with whether or not I should set a weight lose goal. I definitely want to lose some weight and I really need to in order to be healthy, but how do you decide how much to lose? I have been around this weight for so long I have no idea what weight I should be. I was planning on losing 50 pounds put according to the BMI I would still be overweight. I have to say I don't really get the BMI. I never thought of my self as overweight in high school, but according to the BMI I was only 5 pounds away from overweightness.
I think I am going to have to ponder this for a little bit  and then make a decision. I just do not want to set myself up for failure.
Well my husband is waiting for me so I guess I will cut this a little short.
Have a great night All and by all I mean sister since you are the only one who reads this lol

Day 2 - Week 1 Blahhh

Today was our second run and I still do not really care for it. It is hot and noisy and everything in my body is crying why? why are you doing this to us?
I just think to myself that my body is only mad because I am trying to force it to run with all this extra weight on it. I know it is hard on my poor little body, but it will get over it and with every pound ( or .2 of a pound) that I lose it will be easier to run.
I have to run on a busy street, so I am always imagining the cars driving by and saying "hey look at that fatty" but that is fine because soon enough they will be saying "hey look at that hotty"  I am trying really hard not to care about how I look being 50+ pounds over weight out in my too long to be capri pants, but too short to be really pants, and my unflatteringly tight top as I  slowly slowly try to "run" ( pretty sure most people walk faster then my running) up the hill. I would say 90% of the time I don't care because:
 1 - I know I will never see these people driving by again
2- I am off my but and doing something about my fat A double s
3 - It is only a short time off my life, soon I will just be slightly over weight
But then there is the other 10% of the time when I have to pass people or I am in my neighborhood - I have to live with these people - so yes I will see them again. But at the end of the day I can let my shame and worry about what other people think keep my on the couch eating my super butter popcorn or I can say screw it "I don't want to live like this any more. I want better for my daughter" . I want her to be healthy so I have no right to sit on this couch another night doing nothing to help myself.
So here is to healthy mommies and healthy families : )

Day One - Week One : The First Step is Always the Hardest

Well today was the first day of my journey to 30. And it was hard. No yummy candy, no cookies and worst of all no super butter popcorn this evening. Instead we did the first day of couch to 5k. It was pretty challenging, but we made it through it A - O-K .
I am so grateful to have such a supportive husband. Not only did he come with me on the "run", but he also made us healthy smoothly snacks after.
We also went shopping for some healthy food tonight. I am really hoping that by the 17th I will have a good foundation in place for my count down to 30. I mean how great would it be to start off my 30s looking and feeling better then I did in my 20s. I am not striving for perfection every day, but a steady pace to the end. I do not want to make this a miserable year. I know if I work hard and watch what I eat I will be healthier and slimmer and so much happier.
So here's to the beginning of the end.
PS. I love my family : )

All about ME

I have one year left in my 20s and I going to make the most of it. The past year has been filled with life changes for me. I was married, bought a house, and had a baby. Tons of stress, but more joy then I ever could have imagined. I am really going to have to step it up to make this coming year better then last.
This coming year I am going to be finding my way as a new wife and mother. I know it is going to be challanging trying to discover how I will fit into each of these roles, but I am sure that with effort and patiance it will all come into place.
 I will be joining a gym and eating healthy so that I can get in shape and set a good example for my daughter. I want her to be active and healthy. I am so tired of seeing over weight children all over the place.
I will also be pushing myself out of my little hermit shell and getting out there to meet some new people. I have lived in this city for 4 years now and have made very little to no effort at all to meet people. I plan on joining the gym and some community activities with my daughter.
I am committed to eating healthy and watching what chemicals we expose our family to. I strongly believe that many of the allergies and illnesses people are suffering from are do to all the unnatural stuff we expose our bodies to.
In summary I am making a commitment to:
 eat healthy
 exercise regularly
 make new friends
Welcome to my Journey : )
