Baby are you down, down, down, down down....?

As a matter of fact, I am!! bahah (does anyone else get it? The title of my blog this week is a song...nevermind lol)

I am down 1.5lbs this week! WAHOO! I'm at 6.5lbs in 5 weeks and only 3.5lbs to reach my goal of 10 in 10 weeks...with 4 weeks to go!

My post last week was wrong (sadly) about my total weight loss. I was confused, since me and math (or anything with numbers really) don't get along. Since August 2011, I am officially down 31.5!

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty proud of myself. I've been running and exercising and being super strict with my eating. Now I just need to work trying not to think about food and what I'm "missing out on." The cliche saying "Nothing taste as good as thin feels" is seriously true. When I eat whatever I want, I usually feel miserable after. When I'm "dieting" I feel good..but sometimes THINK I'm hungry.\

I don't want to be one of those women who complain they are hungry and can't eat b/c they are dieting...and I think I'm turning into one of those! AHHHHH

For example, I had dinner last night at Mimis, got a salad and was satisfied. When I went home, hubby and some friends were eating chips and salsa. If you remember this post, you know what I'm talking about it. I sat practically drooling staring that those chips and salsa...when I wasn't even hungry. I wanted it just because it was THERE! It was the devil I tell ya..lol but I resisted anyway!

I'm gonna work on that this week. No complaining. I'll def. need prayer for this.

I found this funny cartoon.  I laughed...but then thought crap, I better what what I say on that scale since I have little ears around now!!

 

What else is going on??? OOO duh, SPRING BREAK starts THURSDAY for me! Wahooooo! I'm excited for 7, uninterrupted days at home with Jake. :) I'm hoping to squeeze tons of lunch dates, play dates, and baking days in there! I can't wait! If your friends with me on fb, you've seen Ive been making some point-friendly foods! This is my next one: 

Skinny Monkey Cookies. Big balls of deliciousness is what I call them! (that kind sounded a little wrong, yes? You get the picture! bha!) YUM!!

Okay. I'm probably boring you all now, if you've even made it this far down!!

Have a good weekend!!

xxoo

5 down...5 to go!

Not this week baby!!!!

Hoooray!!! I lost 2lbs this week! I'm so happy bc I was going to be PISSED if I didn't lose anything. I worked HARD this week, stayed on points, and worked out!

I'm now below the weight I was when I got married! That, to me, is success! A grand total of 33 lbs!!!!

Now...5 more pounds. 5 weeks to go. I GOT THIS!!! :)

Stagecoach beware!!!! hahah


Jake Updates:

This kiddo is a tough guy! He had such a ward week with his split lip, bump on his head, and blackish eye. People say boys will be boys, but that doesn't mean its ANY easier on momma!

Hes back in his screaming-at-the-top-of-his-lungs while eating stage. BLAH.  NOTHING works to stop it either.  Thankfully he doesn't do it much in restaurants (I told Joel maybe we should just eat out every meal lol)

He still is the pickiest eater...only eating fruits, hot dogs and beans. He used to eat chicken nuggets, but not lately. Its crazy how when he was smaller, he would eat ANYTHING...now hes changed. I'm up for taking suggestions as to finger foods we can try.  He doesn't like cheese, mac and cheese, grilled cheese, mash potatoes, fish sticks...the list could go on! Blah. What am I to do!

Oh well...all I know is I LOVE LOVE LOVE this age...and he is so cute and teaching me so much!!

Jakes BFF, his daddy on the golf cart at work <3

Slide in our backyard

can you tell I love me some diptic?? ;)

After work today, Joel is stealing me away to Palm Springs! Why? Just because. He planned it all for a surprise!   He told me he wanted to take me shopping at the outlets, have a nice dinner, then hit up Morongo for some gambling!!! Whoo! So excited for a little get-a-way!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!

I've got nothing.

I lost NOTHING this week and do you wanna know why?????????

I blame it on the a a a a a a alcohol. lol just kidding. (it's a song, mom! haha)

No really...its because of:

The devil. My weakness. The absolute thing I could eat every, single day. AKA: Chips and salsa.

Really, its not the chips and salsas fault, its mine. NO SELF CONTROL party of one! I went out Wednesday night, Thursday for lunch, and Friday night...all places were they have this big plate of deliciousness.

hmph.  I even worked out 3x a week ran 2 miles on Thursday..for what??? nothing.

Oh well. I was SUPER good this week, besides caving into my addiction.

I gotta get back on the wagon and resist.

I have a new song I want you to listen to. Its by Luke Bryan, who is going to be at STAGECOACH! I heard it on Sirusxm yesterday and immediately fell in love with it. Very catchy. Makes me anxious for summer time!!!

Take a listen, I think you'll like it!
*His offical video for this song is not out yet..so enjoy the song with lyrics!*

success.

I weighed this morning and I was down 3lbs since Monday! Wahoo!!!!

Now I only have 1lb to get back to my "normal" and and 6 more to reach my stagecoach goal!

I started my morning with a venti iced dirty latte from Starbucks, that's only 4pp!!! (Thanks to this fabulous lady whose website I stalk hehe)

Jake News:

Jake is seriously so fun. I love him to pieces. He always makes me smile, even while he tests my patience (like the picture above. He took all the toilet paper off the roll!)

I absolutely LOVE this age. He is starting to jabber SO much.

He got a lawnmower for Christmas...so since its been SO nice outside, we took it out yesterday! Here is what I've got!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!

10 in 8

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.

So. Here is to losing 10 in 8!

I can do this!

Jake, where is your....

We have been working with Jake to identify his body parts! He knows where his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, teeth, and hair are..

see what what he can show you next! :)


OO and LUCKY YOU..two videos in ONE post!!!!

Here is vid I got of Jake dancing in the car!

This, this and that!

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.
