A New Day

Okay so I hate to write about starting to eat healthy or be on a diet or lose weight because this is concret. As in I can look back at this and see how long it has been since I wanted to start something. ACCOUTABLITY!! Yup sounds weird but it is true for me!!

So here goes nothing!! I want to lose weight and start to feel better about my self. I know what everyone says "give your self a year. it took 9 months to put on the weight 12 months to take it off" or "you look great". But I am just not to believing either of those yet. I know that I am nursing and "they" (whoever THEY are) say that your body will tend to keep about 10 pounds on while nursing!! I dont see that happen to everyone so I want to be the one that it doesnt happen too. I did Weight Watchers before I was pregnant and I lost about 15lbs. I loved it when I got down to my goal weight. Then we moved and I lost my WW buddy and then about 6 months later I was pregnant. I did lose all the weight with Pierson, gained 50 and lost it. I only gained 40 with Jensen and yet to lose 20.

I really dont have time to workout. I would love to run and train for a half marathon or even a 5k. I know crazy excuse but when nursing you really dont want to go for a jog!!! With Jensen changing his schedule so often right now I have been more tired lately. I think I'm not getting enough of the deep REM sleep, but who knows. In my spare time and yes I do have some in the day I want to craft!! or clean!!! I know that if I exercise I will feel better and have more energy--duh!!

I only nursed Pierson for about 2 or 3 months so I have had a taste of freedom. Not in a bad way but just in a good non-tied down way!! I want to try and keep up nursing till a year but day by day we will see. In saying all that I dont feel like I could workout at any old time. Maybe I'm wrong but thats how I feel. Okay enough ranting and excuses. Today March 22, 2011 I want to lose 20lbs. It took me 15 weeks to lose 15 so lets say 3 months goal.

Update for March fun

Here is the picture from when we made Easter cookies and from Pierson getting his 2yr shots. I'm not big on shots and there are some that I will not let him get but I didn't want him to get them till he was 2. He kept saying mommy orange and green hurt. It was so sad!! Grandma went with us to the doctor

and then followed us home because both of them were crying!!!! Thank you grandma!!!

cookies

Today Pierson and I made sugar cookies. These are famous cookies in our family everyone always wants my mom to make them. My parents are coming this weekend so I had cookies on the brain. I let Pierson use the cookie cutters to help me cut them out. They say Happy Easter, a bunny, and the designs for a Easter egg but after they cooked they didnt have anything on them! Oh well! They were still fun to make! I think my favorite was when we had done a bunny one and he stuck his finger on her face and messed it up then said oh no!! It was messy and lots of no, stop, dont put that there but I loved it I feel like its a good bonding time. He gets his chair from the table and helps me in the kitchen as much as I will let him. As I type this he is singing 'choo choo train choo choo train HORSE, mommy mommy Horse!!' oh to be in his brain! Picture to follow

March Fun

Well so far we have stayed inside because its cold, played in the backyard with water and 70 degree weather, and am enjoying rain tonight!! What a month!!! Pierson was playing with a box from a friend and got some kind of grease on him. His hands and foot were silver!! It was funny and scary!

Nose Bit

Pierson loves to kiss Jensen! So sweet UNTIL tonight. I should say that Pierson also likes to open mouth kiss as well. Tonight Jensen was hanging out in the boppy and Pierson was next to him then we hear a loud scream! Jensen was crying and Pierson was star struck! We didnt know what happened till you could see what looked like teeth marks on each side of jensens nose! Poor guy only the beginning of the brotherly love!!

Jensen was the church baby today! Chris held him until Sarah stole him then he cried and mommy got him! I think it is very sweet! I love to see his smiles that he gives to others! He smiles alot lately and wow is he so adorable!

This weekend we thought my sister in law was coming so we cleaned the craft room! We finally got things put up and cleaned! It looks good!! then we got the call she is not coming! Oh well would of been nice to see her but we got the room clean! Now my daddy is coming tomorrow night and he will have a clean room to stay in.

Adventures with Friends

This was part of our exciting weekend of fun! Pierson and Olivia finger painted together and got cleaned up together!
