6 lbs

6 lbs to go until I get back to my pre-pregger weight! I can even wear some of my pre-pregger pants! Woot-woot!

Holiday Weight Loss!!

I wanted to share my excitement!

I am so excited to say that I did NOT let the holiday control me! I was really good and very strong! I did treat myself but stuck to my no eating after 8 and only had one plate of Turkey food! I usually go back 2 or 3 times! I have dropped 4-1/2 lbs since November 4rth!

I am learning that I am in total control of me!

Hope everyone had a Fabulous Thanksgiving!

I got my ankles back!!

After months of not being able to see my ankle bones... I got em back! I am so excited!

M&M's or not M&M's, that is the question??

I resisted!!!! I am so proud of myself!

I love to eat bad food late at night and lots of it!

Well I am working hard at the gym so it makes me MUCH more aware of what I am eating! My hubby brought home my new favorite pretzel M&M's Saturday night and it was 8:05, so I couldn't eat them. (I try not to eat after 8) Can I just say I thought about diving into them for 3 hours! It consumed me. I AM ADDICTED TO FOOD! I even text my mom to help me through the craving! She is a fellow food addict and one of my "sponsors" if you will! :)

So I am so proud to say that I totally did not eat one! I drank some water and talked myself through it! Baby steps right?!

I must say I did enjoy some today and I didn't eat the whole bag either! It was lunch time so it was allowed!

I wanted to share my success with all of you and hope we all have a good week!

29 lbs!

29 lbs!

That's how much weight I have gained so far this pregnancy.

Not sure how that happened, I usually gain more than that...

but I'll definitely take it! :)

The EATING Holidays!

Hey everyone! So, the holidays are here! You know the EATING holidays! Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. I'm thinking that after the New Year would be a great time to start focusing on getting my butt in gear. I will have had the baby, and my body will have had time to get somewhat back to normal (I hope). Hope everyone is doing well.

trick-or-treat candy

It's almost Halloween. I don't know about anyone else, but we're going to have to buy some more trick-or-treat candy. Ours is already starting to run low... and we haven't had a single trick-or-treater yet! Uh oh!

Weather & Food

Why is it that every time the weather changes up, there is some delicious food that goes with that type of weather? Hot weather = some kind of ice cream treat. Cold weather = cheesy chicken chowder and home baked goodies. Always the high calorie stuff!
When do we get weather that makes us want to eat fruits and veggies (without the fruit dip and the ranch)?
Just Sayin'.

So I have decided that I need to take thes seriously and have been doing well for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I balloned back up to about 213 and was not happy with myself. I decided to eat healthier and stop eating out so much. ( That has been rough!) I also bought the JIllian Micheals 30 day shred DVD and have lost 3 to 5 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Wish me luck in keeping it up!!

A little boost!!!

This fits even our category of blogging about our diets and exercise, and it is just so good! I needed it and thought I would spread the goodness! I got it off of a friends blog;)

"Don't give up. Don't you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. You keep your chin up. It will be alright in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come. Some blessing come soon, some come late, some don't come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of... Jesus Christ, they come." ~ Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

cankles and feet

Tonight I have HUGE CANKLES and FEET! It looks like someone elses ankles and feet have been put on my legs! It is so gross, but so flippin' funny at the same time!! The joys of this pregnancy are endless! LOL!

DANG IT!!!!

So let's just say 10pm monday night = a big piece of pizza, 2 bowls of cereal and 3 oreos! GAH! What the heck Brandi! I think I panicked a little. I am starting today. Maybe that is what happened, I didn't put a start date;)

Oh I did get a short run in yesterday! That felt good. 1/2 mile in 4:52 I didn't stop jogging once, Reagan rode her bike in front of me, it helped me keep a good pace!

HERE'S TO ANOTHER TRY!

NO MORE BABY EXCUSE FOR ME...

So the baby is almost 4 months old and I am not working out like I should be! I am not going to be able to wear any of my fun cute skinny summer clothes this year and it is really bugging me but it's my own fault:( So I remembered this amazing blog where we all understand bc we are all mommies with little time to ourselves... I am now joining again and going to get my FAT BOOTY back into some cute jeans. My birthday is next month maybe I could drop 10lbs by then. That's probably shooting for the stars but it's a goal none the less right?! Here are my goals and this way I will feel more accountable to all of you bc I am not strong enough on my own yet;) my mom and I set some of these together earlier this summer and we were both doing ok but ya know;)

-NO EATING AFTER 8am hahaha j/k I'm not going anorexic! 8PM

-ONE HELPING AT MEALS, NO 2NDS NEEDED(i just thought of this one and it will be very hard for me)

-A 100 CALORIE TREAT PER DAY & A BIG 300 CALORIE A WEEK (this is hard but it makes me pay attention to what I am putting in my mouth when I only have a set #)

-AT LEAST 30 MINUTES OF EXERCISE A DAY!!

Ok thats all for now!

Summertime

Summertime = lots of cold treats I probably shouldn't be eating all day, every day!

Here's to hoping my monthly weigh-in isn't too bad tomorrow! :)

I Blame It On STRESS!!!

Is it safe to say that stress is whats causing me to gain weight back? I lost 22 pounds and I loved myself and the way I looked. Jared started working in Wyoming and I was home with the girls all week and there was a lot that needs to be done. The stress sets in and without realizing it, I turned into a STRESS EATER. I never thought I was a stress eater until now. AAHHH!!!! It's got to STOP. I have got to get CONTROL again!
