Weight Lose Begins...

So I have decided that I want my body back. Taylor took it away and I lazily fought for it after James, but didn't do much. As I started to actually start to try and lose weight I became pregnant with Rebecca. However, unlike the first two pregnancies, I didn't gain a massive amount of weight. It would fluctuate between 11-15 pound gain/lose. When I gave birth to her I lost 20 pounds instantly and by the third week (with no exercise, obviously) I was down 28 pounds. My short term goal is 130 pounds and my long term is 120 pounds. I want to not have this little pooch out front any more and no more love handles. Right now I have very poor self image and it isn't very healthy. I eat healthy(ish) and I now need to add exercise and stop being lazy! Kris is gonna be my accountability buddy. I have two apps and calender and worksheet. I have pants that I am gonna work to get back into. :)
I do know that I need to fight a little harder as heaviness runs in my family and I refuse to let it take a hold of me! I will fight to stay healthy and small. Plus it will help me in future pregnancies and I will be able to play longer and better with my babies.
Every two weeks I will be posting updates on how I'm doing with the whole process. So Sunday nights I will post new photos of me. Hopefully there is progress as we go along.

So my weight now is 158 pounds. (I know, OMGosh a woman giving away her actual weight) But if I'm gonna do this, I need to do this right!!!

Here are my first photos, not as bad as I was expecting.

I WILL BE GETTING RID OF THIS!!!!!!!!

Week 4 of 52: Self -Portrait

So this weeks theme is kinda a hard one and rather personal one as I have poor image of myself. However this next I will be getting my butt of the couch and exercising with Kris. I will be posting a blog post about this Sunday night.

My Greatest Joy...

Yes I know that sometimes I want to run away, but I would always come back if I in fact did. My children are my greatest joy and I'm told that the runaway feeling is completely normal and that I am a wonderful mother, even if I don't think so. I don't know what I would do without them. Every once in a while I read sad articles or see posts about families losing their babies or worse people hurting/killing children and I just hold mine a little tighter. God has blessed Kris and I so much. Even in the times when my children are so unbearable, so bad I don't know what to do, I just take a deep breathe and give them so much love and let them know that I love them more than they'll ever know.

Love em...

Not much for talking today... I am just gonna post photos of my babies.

Bad Let Down...

So I did what Kris told me not to do (surprise surprise) and got my hopes up on my little angel getting her harness off in two weeks. Well at her appointment today, the doctor said that she will have it for another month. GRRRR. I should have listened again. Sorry Babe. Well she did get a new harness as she has grown quite a bit since she got it on. She will have a well baby check on Thursday and we will see the full effect of her gain. Can't wait to see how big she has gotten.

She enjoyed her few minutes of freedom but alas had another put on. I think I take it harder than she does. But I would rather her have it as long as it takes and not have long term problems, then to take it off and have her have problems in the future because of my own selfishness.

Week 3 of 52: (Animals)...

This weeks theme worked out well considering we went to the zoo. Heehee.

The Greats...

This past week Kris' grandparents came down to visit us and to meet the new babies. It was so great as Taylor has been wanting to see them since we left the beach in June. We spent all Tuesday and Wednesday visiting with them and then all day today. Unfortunately their trip is over tonight as they will be going home tomorrow :( really wish they couldn've had a longer stay. I know Taylor won't be happy when she goes to Grandma's on Tuesday, she will be upset that Great Gram isn't there to hang out with her anymore.

Days Go By...

The more and more I think about it and look around, my babies are growing way too fast for my liking. Becca, my angel baby, will be 2 months old tomorrow. It feels like yesterday I was bringing her home from the NICU. She has such a wonderful personality and she is so smart and strong. She has even figured out how to roll over with the brace on her. She also scoots on her back. She loves when James is holding her, she actually falls asleep while he holds her, it's way too cute for words, but I have yet to get a good photo of it. I will continue to try. I am also trying to get another really good photo of all three of them.

First Attempt: Photo an Hour...

So Cassie told me about an awesome blog idea that I decided to try out today. It went great I was able to stick with it all day. I almost missed a couple hours. Tried to do it at a quarter after each hour but past that time a couple times, oh well it is completed. Yay!
