all those pounds must come off!

I really need to get this weight off from this baby. I do not like being as big as I am and it makes me a little bit sad that I worked so hard to get to where I was before and ended up so big after. I always seem to have had an issue with weight. I am the biggest of my sisters always have been and always will be, (even at my smallest I can't beat my sisters). I have been told I hide my weight well, which may be a compliment, but who really wants to hear, you are big, but you can't really tell.


I have tried to get back to the gym at 5:00 a.ms but until the little guy sleeps all the way through the night it is not an option at the moment.

I am doing Bob Harper's pure burn super strength video, (the blue one below) and really want to try his Cardio one (the green one) And believe you me they are brutal, and I love it.
This program is what I asked for, for Christmas!! This one is brutal as well, and as you can guess I love it also!!


at my post par tom check up I was at a weight I have never said I would let myself be at, and there I was. I was in shock, a little depressed about it and wanting to fix it right away. Well reality hit and I realized it wasn't going to be able to fix it as fast as I wanted.

At that appointment I was 37 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight and 52 pounds away from goal weight.

I needed to fix it. I started eating smaller meals and stopped eating and drinking sugary things for a week and also in that week did Bob's video 3 times. I Lost 7 pounds in a week just from that.

So as of today I have 30 pounds to lose for pre-pregnancy and 45 pounds to goal weight.

My other goal is to run a half marathon this summer, and Brandon told me he would run it with me.

They say it takes as long to take it off as to put it on, so I am hoping to be back to my weight before this baby by summer, yes it took me only 5 months to put on that amount of weight, scary I know!! Wish me luck, I know I can do it, just need a cute and cuddly little man to sleep all night, then goodbye L-B-S!!!

2 Months Old

So our little man is already two months old. Hard to believe, it has gone by so fast, too fast.

We headed into the doctor yesterday and found out how he is growing:

23 3/4 inches 75%
11.7 lbs. 45%
head 38 inches 10%

So our little guy is tall and skinny and has a very small head, but he is the cutest and most handsome little guy ever.

So reading over the paper they gave me about 2 month olds and what they should be able to do and eat, I noticed that it said they should be eating every 3 to 4 hours and having about 4 ounces. This little guy can eat and eats every 4 hours and eats 5ounces. He is a bottomless pit and it isn't doing anything to his weight, but to his height. He is going to be just like his daddy, tall and skinny.

So a few things about this little guy:

He loves to smile and almost anything makes him smile, when he smiles he gets so excited that he wiggles and squirms all over the place. (i have a video of him talking and smiling, but I can't get it to upload)

Loves his big sister, and she makes him smile the most

He likes to talk and after he sneezes he always makes a noise like "ohh" it is so cute

he has found his hands and likes to eat them

Loves his binki

When he is a sleep he will turn his head into the crook of your arm and just lay there.

He enjoys tummy time and is really good holding his head up

He loves to see the world

He is starting to love bath time

He is a good sleeper when he wants to be. On a good day we have a little nap in the morning a long nap in the afternoon and an 8-9 hour night. On a bad day, we wake up two times during morning nap, 1 time during afternoon nap and fights sleep for at least three hours at night, then sleeps for 5-6 hours at a time at night. I love our good days and we are getting more of those then bad.

He is so mellow, those of you that know Claire she was a really good baby, this guy is even better, he cries when he is hungry or tired or when I change his diaper and then the rest of the time he smiles and tries to giggle.



Enjoy some smile shots of the little man:
This is my most favorite face he pulls (below), it usually happens right after you pull something out of his mouth or he is satisfied



nSorry they aren't very good, he moves when he gets excited and well, he was really excited when I was taking these pictures, but you get how handsome he is. We all love him at our place, he is such a joy!!
