As of yesterday I'm back on weight watchers. If you didn't know I was even on ww before, here's a recap.
I joined ww in August of 11 to lose baby weight I ended up losing 28lbs (baby weight plus some!!!) by December. Yay! I fell off the wagon in December due to to birthdays, Christmas and other circumstances. In other words, I have little self control and couldn't avoid fudge, Christmas cookies and puppy chow! Haha I have surprisingly kept off the weight...all except 4lbs! yay!
With hot weather looming,that reminds me of tank tops, bathing suits, and the dreaded shorts! Shoot.me.now.
Stagecoach is in 8 weeks. This means great music, hot weather and fun! Its sad to say, but I've got 8 weeks to lose 10lbs and tan those legs so I can feel comfortable in my own skin. I feel pathetic typing that because I'm not content even after losing 28lbs. I guess that's life..and something I definitely need to pray about.
Will I feel totally confident losing 10more? Probably not..but it's a goal.
Yea. Its been a while. I guess I'm going to give up on posting every week like I wanted too.
Life's just TOO busy.
I thought id throw out a few random facts or thoughts Ive had since I posted last.
My Little Valentine <3
1. Jake is WALKING! It only took 14 months...lol Wahoo! I posted on a facebook a video of him taking a few steps, but hes on the GO now! Its so cute to see him walk. I love when he kind of stumbles and balances out! So cute! My baby is growing up!!!
2. I TOTALLY called that Jason Aldean's new single would be "Fly Over States." I swear I'm in the wrong business. I did that when the Rascal Flatts and Carrie Underwood cd came out..I listed to all the songs and picked which would be their next hit. A few months later..that song came on!
Anyway, I think you guys know my obsession with Jason Aldean. mmmm :)
3. Yesterday I was thrown last minute into the subbing world for the day. I was told I'm racist by a 11 year old boy. He called his teacher racist, too.
Worse. 4th grade. Class. Ever.
Enough said?
4. I'm playing matchmaker again (if you didn't know, last time I played matchmaker, the couple got married and have a little GIRL on the way! Congrats, Dan and Kolbey!!!) I'm excited and I realllllllllllllllllly think they are gonna hit if off. I'll keep you posted.
5. Bethenny ever after starts this week. SO EXCITED.
6. Our upstairs bathroom has been tiled and renovated! I'll post pics of before and after! We will actually have a tub for Jake to take a bath in!
7. Stagecoach in 2 months. YEHAWWWWWWWW.
8. I am IN LOVE with my new nephew, Evan! He is just SO stinking cute!
I guess that's all I've got!
I miss blogging.
Maybe this new job will give me some time to catch up.
No promises.
Evan Nathaniel Weisenburger was born last night at 9:14pm. He weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 19.5 inches long! He is just PERFECT.
I was lucky enough to be in the room while he was being born. That wasn't the original plan. When we got to the hospital...I decided just to sneak in and say hi and share my excitedness. I had my camera on ready to go. I was about to leave when Jace told me to stay and take pics! I was SO excited because I secretly wanted to stay, but didn't want to intrude!
I had never been in a room when a baby was being born, and since my Csection experience was so different, it was so cool being in there!! (and I got some AMAZING pictures!!!)
The whole procress was just amazing! Like, really...I can' even discribe it. Sasha did so great, and my brother was SO FREAKING CUTE and the best husband/coach ever! While she was pushing, the whole room felt tense, and right when that little miracle popped out..it was like ahh. deep breathe out. Forget the pain, forget contractions...just a little miracle.
I'm so glad I got to expereince that. Now my baby fever is back and full blown! hehe
I can't wait to love on this little boy..and I can't wait for Jake and Evan to be bffs!!!! (do they call it bff for boys?? oh well, you get the point!)
It's been almost a MONTH since I updated. Sooo not okay! I've missed blogging!!!
I have been super busy with my job....and of course, JAKE! :)
I usually try and update while I'm at work on Saturday, but with the holidays and hosting my sister-in-law's baby shower at my house I've been slacking!
I cannot WAIT to meet baby Evan! Only a few more week! EEEk!
Here are a few pics from that:
Now for Jake news!!
We had his 1 year check-up and hes 22.5lbs and 31inch long! What a big boy!! He didn't get his boosters because he had a cough (and an ear infection I had NO idea about!) Hes doing great though. Lately hes been SUPER picky about eating. One day he will LOVE a food, the next he will not eat it. Weird. Hes also off bottles! Wahoo! :)
I'm getting anxious for him to walk..even though I know its going to be even more tough when he does. He got a few walk-behind toys and when we stand him up to walk, he would throw a fit and cry! This past Tuesday we put him behind his train and HE WALKED BEHIND IT!
It's little victories.
Here is a video
p.s. Please, Please Mute it before watching because I really sound like a psycho mother. I know that now that I said that, you will want to listen to it...so I guess I just apologize in advance.)
p.s.s. If you DO listen to it...notice that Jake starts walking when it says 1,2,3 lets go. Hes so talented. hehe
New with me:
I'm still in the class from you know where. Not gonna lie, most days are bearable.....and some of the kids I realllllllly like, but its pretty bad. I was telling Joel that if Jake EVER EVER acted like some of these kids act, we are in for some rough years!
One thing this class really has taught me is to bring every thing to God....and to pray for endurance!!! Everyday I walk to my room remember that God has put me at this school, in this room, and with these kids for a reason!!!
I'm going to be with this class for a few more weeks, then I'll be taking another job (at the same school till the end of the year) as an intervention teacher! I'm excited for a change of scenery.
I also got a new tattoo! (Sorry Mom..and Grandma!)
I got it done by Bret Butler on Nov.4. I have always wanted something else on my foot...and my favorite verse in the Bible is 1Cor 13:8: Love Never Fails. I really love the way it came out. It hurt A LOT more than I remember...but I think it was worth it!
Here is a pic of it when I first got it done. I've been back for a few touch up since this picture though! (notice heart dotting the i? I love it!)
Now on to random thoughts.
I'm in a Bible study/Discipleship group that I LOVE!Seriously, I really enjoy the times we meet..discuss life and the Bible. :)
I cannot wait for Bethenny Ever After to come back on! I love love love this show. She makes me smile with all her sass!!!!
I also can't wait to see the movie The Vow. It looks so good....plus I love me some Rachel McAdams & Channing Tatum!!! Wahoo!
That all for now! I reallllly hope that when I start my next job, I will have more time to update and blog...even if no one reads it anyway :)
