I was really hoping to be at my goal weight by week 12...
and well, I am not.  UGH!

I need to get motivated again.  I have been pretty much just saying whatever when it comes to eating junk. 
What am I thinking?? 
If I keep this attitude up I am going to gain.  A LOT. 

OK, I need to stop.  I need to get back on track and start losing again. I hate posting when I haven't lost any weight.
Its very disappointing!

wordless wednesday {tea party time}

she says...

no brother, thats not how you drink tea...

yes! hold it just like that.

should we play dress up next?

and he says...

you better not put this on the blog mom!

I can do it better

These days Lila has been more affectionate towards me.

She tells me she loves me a lot more.

Shows me more love and asks me to do special things for her.

I am the one she comes to in the middle of the night when she's had a bad dream.

The one to kiss her goodnight and make everything better.

It feels wonderful to be {the one} again.

picking flowers for her mommy

In the meantime I am working on getting my "babies daddy" aka Mikey to write a guest post.

Which should be an interesting one!

I hope everyone enjoys their Tuesday!!

I know exactly what happened last week.  I ate.  I ate and I ate and I ate!  Oh well...there is always next week. 

p.s.  for all you blogger wiz kids:

I want to start labeling posts.  Is there an easy way to go back and tag all the old posts with labels? 

new, needed...fast!

I am completely in a blog funk. 

I am sick of my header and my blog background
Bored of my blog posts
and I dont have the time to fix it.

HELP!

Lila and I had a fabulous birthday weekend :)

{weekly weigh in} #9

Last night was a little difficult for me.  My daughter was up about 3 times so I slept in a little this morning.  Which leads to my whole day being off.  I totally forgot to post this first thing this morning, like I usually do.

But here it is.  

I am pretty happy with the outcome.

And I have come to the conclusion that I couldn't do it without the help of breastfeeding.

I have heard that when you breastfeed exclusively you burn about 400 calories a day.  

 

How did you all do this week?

i've come to realize

I {borrowed} this list from Sara over at the Unofficial Mom.  It was too cute to pass up!  Thanks Sara.


1. I’ve come to realize that my chest-size...isn't anything to complain about.  just maybe perk up a little more ladies, would ya?!

2. I’ve come to realize that my job…is exactly where i want to be.  i might complain a lot about it but i wouldn't change it for the world. 

3. I’ve come to realize that when I’m driving…i don't need to put on makeup, paint my nails, tie my shoes, check my email or do my hair.  guess which one i used to be a pro at doing? 

4. I’ve come to realize that I need…to take time for myself.  easier said then done though.

5. I’ve come to realize that I have lost...some much needed weight.  and it feels amazing!

7. I’ve come to realize that if I’m drunk…i can't dance any better then when i am sober. sad but true.

8. I’ve come to realize that money…doesn't grow on trees.  dang. 

9. I’ve come to realize that certain people…are too selfish.  get over yourself already!

10. I've come to realize that my life would be easier if...we had a bigger house.  but wait, then i would probably be saying that my life would be easier if i didn't have to clean so much.  oh heck, i don't care.  anything is better then this tiny house!

15. I’ve come to realize that my first love is…a douche.  i am not gonna lie, my first love was not my husband. 

16. I’ve come to realize that right now I am thinking about…eating pizza. 
17. I’ve come to realize that my dad…would give his right hand for my family and i.  love you dad.

18. I’ve come to realize that when I get on Facebook…nothing has changed in the 30 minutes since i checked it last.  yes, its too readily available on my phone.  crack i tell you, crack!

19. I’ve come to realize that today…was just one of those days.  here's to another.  cheers. {clink clink} 

20. I’ve come to realize that my best friend(s)…is staying close to home.  whew, i wasn't ready to have her leave just yet. 

21. I’ve come to realize that my spouse...fits 100% with me.  perfectly. 

22. I’ve come to realize that what I really want to do…is get a hair cut. 

23. I’ve come to realize that life…is something never to be taken for granted.
