I missed Sunday

Jameson started his fever again yesterday so I missed Sunday posting about weigh loss. I have not weighed myself but I did feel I was losing some inches lately........

Until I started trying on work pants for a job interview. None fit well at all. They would button but they didn't look flattering at all. Some of these pants I was able to take off without unbuttoning before I got pregnant.

That was sad, it really bummed me out. But it also motivated me even more. I will keep up with my home work outs and am going to have to add some to it. Not sure what yet but I will know soon.

I also am going big grocery shopping on Thursday and will stock up on easy, low cal, healthy snacks.

Here's to another week!

I'm a great mom

Somedays I have to remind myself that I'm a great mom. This morning is one of those days.

Jameson follows me into the bathroom quite often and this morning was no different. Only today as I was washing my hands I see he has something in his mouth. I put my hand cupped under his mouth and he spits out something small and black.

I took a closer look to see my son was munching on a dead fly he found on the bathroom floor.

At least I make sure he gets his protein.

Wedding Pictures

My wedding pictures were posted today online. I have not been able to stop looking at them for many reasons.

For starters I have not felt overly attractive since gaining weight but I felt like a knock out on our wedding day and looking at the pictures I still think I look like a knock out. And it feels good.

Also, the day was perfect for me. We had a small ceremony and a nice reception at my dad's house. It was laid back and that is who we are- it was just perfect.

I never thought I would get married. I used to get asked often how someone like me wasn't married yet- not sure how you are supposed to take that but regardless I got asked often. I had no desire to wed, I hardly would date. If I got asked out I would rather go out with friends then go on a date.

When I met Zach I was smitten from the beginning- there was just something about him I was drawn to. I enjoyed being around him but we didn't start dating until a little over 2 years after we met.

I can still perfectly remember our first kiss- I remember my stomach being tied in knots and not wanting the kiss to end. I remember the first morning I woke up next to him and how great it felt- how natural it felt.

I remember when he proposed and how I knew he wasn't someone I could just live with, he was someone I just couldn't live without.

I remember his face when I told him I was pregnant, how sweet he was while I was pregnant and how understanding he was when I would cry over nothing.

And I can remember seeing him for the first time down the aisle from me.

He is an amazing man and I am so happy to look back on our wedding day because it was not about the day but about the marriage and our promise to have each others back. To fight for our relationship. To stand up for each other. To raise our children as a united front. To respect each others needs, desires and interests.

It is very easy in a marriage to get a little complacent and forget to say "I love you.' Forget to say thank you and you look nice today....and those are very important words.

I adore Zach and I am blessed he is my husband.

For one you should check out the contest but also check out this blog. It is one of my personal favorites and let's face it.....you all seriously honor my opinion. Right? lol :0)

But...but, I just had a baby.

Ok I just had a baby 15 months ago- it's time to lose some weight. I gained way too much while pregnant and don't like the way I look right now or how my clothes fit. It's time to make a change.

Some women lost all their pregnancy weight just by breast feeding, well guess what sista?! I breast fed for almost 14 months and I still have 30lbs to lose. So each Sunday is going to be a blog about my changes, my journey, or maybe my disappointments depending on how the week went.

I can tell that since I have stopped nursing I have lost some weight but I would like to get it all off and here soon.

My goal is to be 20lbs lighter by New Years 2009. I don't think that's asking for too much.

Pants on your head

My son is already started working on perfecting his "I am a drunken frat boy walking around with pants on my head." Most of the time, he has pants on his head but none of his bum.

It does provide me lots of entertainment though. He will find a shirt, old sock, or some pants to place on his head and walk around the house saying "ahhhh. ah. ahhhh"

By time he's 21 he's going to be a pro.
