It's been a LONG time.

So sorry to anyone following me.  My life got thrown into a crazy busy stressful spiral and I put this poor blog on the back burner.  Well a quick rundown of what's happening with me and my crazy kids!

1.  Tucker turned 3 on December 5th.  I have a 3 year old.  He still doesn't play with toys, but he isn't being as notty as he was before.  We got one of those Elf on the Shelf's.  He HATES him.  He has fun finding him, but anytime he starts acting notty, we remind him about "jack" and then he gets mad and says I don't like Jack.  He wants to be just like dad though, I love this.  He told me when I grow up I want to go hunting and to work like dad.  It melted my heart.


2.  Miss Ellie pants.  Still as cute as a bug, such a sweet little girl she is.  She does have a temper though - holy mokes.  When she doesn't want to be put down, she'll fling herself back and stiffen up like a board and scream her head off.  Still super cute though ;)  Some little cutie pie will be one soon.  I'm not ready for that.

3.  8 pound until goal.  Yup that's right 8.  I've lost 92 pounds in the last year.  I love the new me.  I feel like a brand new person.  I'm so thankful for a some people in my life that have helped me along the journey - you know who you are.  For those that say I'm an inspiration, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  It makes me feel like this journey was worth it.  I am here with any questions anyone of you may have.  I'm honest, I don't lie.


4.  I haven't been running anymore, I did complete the C25K but the weather got cold, I got busy and I wasn't able to keep up, BUT I will be back at it this spring - no doubt about it!  I can't wait to sign up for the 5k in Fargo!

5.  My business!  Wow, thank you everyone for making it such a success!  I can't wait to have time to create some new designs after this busy time is over!

Well I'm not promising I'll be back tomorrow, but I'll try to do better.  Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year, from the new and improved Erica Rezac.

YAY for new adventures!

It's been awhile since I've posted.  I'm not going to talk your ear off but here is where I am right now.

1.  I'm on Week 7 of my C25K, I'm running 25 minutes straight almost 3 miles.
2.  I'm down to 142 pounds which means I've officially lost 80 pounds since being in the hospital with Ellie.
3.  Tucker hasn't been a little stinker lately which is awesome, he's finally listening better and not getting into trouble.  But he still doesn't play with his toys :/
4.  Miss Ellie has 2 teeth on the bottom and is cutting FOUR teeth on top, what a trooper.  Not even much of a fussy pants!  She's not crawling yet but is scooting ALL over the living room and can sit up from laying down.  She loves to eat real food and drink from a sippy cup!
5.  My final big annoucement.  I've started a new business.  It's called Erica Rezac Designs and I really think you should check it out.  I have a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ericarezacdesigns) and a webiste (www.ericarezacdesigns.com).  I make handstamped jewelry and I think it's pretty cool.  Take a second and check it out!  Here's a pic of some of my necklace's I've made!

Drumroll Please....


Hello all my blog readers, thanks for coming back. I can't believe it's almost September! Where did this summer go! I'm kind of looking forward to fall though, I love jeans, sweatshirts and ugg boots weather! Don't forget about delicious soups and all things apple!


Well I said I would be posting some exciting news. No, I'm not pregnant people. Come on. But seriously. I've started the C25K program. C25k, is a program that's been designed to get just about anyone from the couch to running 30 minutes in just 9 weeks. This is HUGE to me. I don't run, never been a runner EVER. Not even in High School. I absolutely hated when we had to run the mile. Pretty sure my best time doing that was 7:58. I'm super excited for this though. I needed something new. Needed to get some exercising in. I have been doing it after I put Ellie to bed at night and it's only 30 minutes (approx). I will keep you posted as to how it's going. Right now, I love it!


It's always been a "secret" goal of mine to run a 5K or a 10K but I've always been to scared to say that secret out loud. So, I'm posting this here. I will be running the Fargo 5K on May 18, 2012. I know it's forever from now, but I've decided I have to do this. Who knows, maybe by then I'll be ready for the 10K instead. We'll see, but for now I'm going to do the 5K. Wow, I have butterflies just thinking about it. I don't know why it makes me so nervous, maybe because it's just outside of my norm. I don't know.


I feel like a whole new person. I sometimes have to stop and go WHO IS THIS PERSON! I went shopping at Old Navy on Saturday and bought medium shirts. MEDIUM! I wore XXL ON shirts and now I'm a Medium. I just can't believe all that I've accomplished this year.


As I type all of this to you, I think I've hit a plateau (had one a while back but it didn't last this long). I'm bouncing between 149-150 and have been since August 20. But it's OK, because I know I will break the plateau and continue on my journey. I'm going to just keep doing what I'm doing.


I have so many people that look up to me and I appreciate it and it makes me even more proud of myself and more determined to do this. Because I am just a normal person that eats normal foods. I don't eat fancy good for you stuff. I eat ice cream practically every day. I eat pizza, hot dishes, hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza rolls, egg rolls, rice, mashed potatoes. I eat all that stuff, I just do it in moderation. I don't eat fast food anymore, I don't drink pop anymore, I don't eat candy and junk food. (If I need a chocolate fix, I will have one or two M&M's or a Fun Size Snickers etc). I just don't cheat, I stay on track. 24-7. I would rather not screw up the entire week I just worked so hard for by eating something terrible on the weekend. This is me, this is what I do. PLEASE don't get me wrong. I would LOVE to devour this:
But I don't, if it was in front of me and it was torturing me, I would have a bite. That's it. That's how I CRUSH those cravings and continue on.


OK, enough about my weight loss journey. Lets talk about my crazy kids!
I took them to the park on Friday evening and I want someone to tell me when Tucker grew up so much. He was climbing up the rock wall like he'd been doing it all his life (all two years of it). He was up the slide down the slide, back up the rock wall. Wanting to crawl across the monkey bars but poor guys arm's are too short. Really, when did this happen?


Here are a few more pictures from Renae Alane Photography, doesn't she do amazing work! Thanks Renae, I always love love love working with you. If anyone ever goes to her please tell her I sent you!

Flusterated.

I've been very uninspired lately and it's due to my weight loss slow down. I want it to be as fast as it was in the begininng not this .5 to 1lb a week crap. But realistly that just is not going to happen and I have to learn to deal with it. I even emailed my "weightloss coach" lol (love ya Ash) and was hoping for an answer to speed up this process again, even though I already knew the answer. So i'm still losing, just not as fast. I'm in the 140's now - and that pretty much is freaking awesome. So slowly but surely I'm still trudging along. I will not give up. I will get to my goal eventually. It will happen and it will feel fucking amazing and anybody that doubted it can kiss my ass.

One thing that is making me smile lately is I have some people that have been inspired by me to begin there weight loss journey. I want them to know I am so proud of them and wish them the best of luck. I hope that by reading my blog, it will help them when they hit bumps in the road. Good luck, you know who you are!

Tucker is his usual stubborn stinkery self and miss Ellie pants is a pro at eating baby food now pretty much.

I've been spending my days on Pinterest lately. I love it, it's fun and I suggest checking it out if you have some free time on your hands. Basically it's a virtual bulletin board you can "pin" your ideas, styles, thought etc... on. If you are interested, let me know, send me your email and I will send you an invite.

I leave you today with a "Pin" I found on Pinterest.

Please mom, please!

HEY - 140's! Guess what.....I'm coming for ya! 150.5 this morning when I stepped on the scale! Woo hoooooo!

I have found that these are the foods I can not live with out.
Barry's Bakery Twists
Fruit
Ice Cream Sandwich's, Float Bars and WW Ice Cream Bars
Lite Bread, Buns and English Muffins - GOD BLESS YOU!
Eggs
Grilled Chicken Salads
Fat Free Broth (for cooking)


If it weren't for these foods, this weight loss journey would be a lot harder on me. I am so glad there are a lot more healthy options out there now. Hopefully in the years to come there will be even more!

I took a picture of my old belt this past weekend. WOW what amazing results. I really wish I would of taken pictures/measurements when I started this journey.
What I ate today:
Breakfast - Fried Egg Sandwich and fruit 3pp
Lunch - Southwest Chicken Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette and a popover from the Wilkin 12pp
Supper - Thinking I'm going to make Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese and a glass of milk 9pp.
Dessert - Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Frosting 3pp
What I ate yesterday:
Breakfast - Fried Egg Sandwich and fruit (I just love this breakfast because it's only 3 points.)
Lunch - Grinder 4pp
Supper - Pizza Ranch Pizza and milk 19pp (Mmmmmm pizza!!!)
Dessert - Ice Cream Sandwich 4pp

My dear little Ellie pants, I'm soooo in love with this age! The age where all you have to do is look at her and she flashes you a big ole toothless smile! She's not crawling yet but she likes to roll from here to there. It's pretty entertaining to watch her at times. I know all to well how fast it goes, so I'm not in any hurry for her to start crawling. She is kicking butt at eating though. We've given her some things other than baby food and she loves it. She has tried cooked carrots, a french fry, apple pie. She's loving puffs, yogurt melts and mum mum's!

Tucker, Tucker, Tucker. Ever heard that family guy commercial where Stewie goes: Mom. mommy. mum. Mom. Mommy. Mommy. Mom. Mum. Mum. Mommy. Lois says: WHAT!??!?! Stewie: Hi *insert giggles*. WELL, that's Tucker. Seriously, this child will say my name over and over and over. I say what, and he says nothing. Some days I swear to god, someone is feeding him quarters because he can talk for an hour non stop. Jamie says I need to learn to tune him out (which mind you, he can do pretty well). I have to share this cute story with you. Over the weekend, we went out to Grandma and Grandpa Rezac's because Auntie Arica was down with Anna. Well Tucker wanted some juice, I said no because he had 2 glasses already earlier that day. So out of my little 2 1/2 year old's mouth comes those dreaded words. Please mom, please. Please mom, please can I have some juice. I stood there and just smiled because I wasn't expecting to hear please mom please for another at least 4 years. Tucker got to go for some rides on the Prowler with his dad and Jamie said he grinned from ear to ear the entire time. He sure loves hanging out with his dad!

We had Ellie's 6 month pictures and some family ones taken this past Saturday out at Lake Elsie. All I can say is, I have one amazing photographer. Renae Alane Photography seriously AMAZING! I can't wait to see the entire gallery. But here are some that she posted on her facebook page. I totally think that the one of Ellie and the lemonade stand belongs in a magazine. I just love her work. It takes a bit of planning but we sure come up with some cute ideas!

Read this! It's SHOCKING!

So yesterday I went out for lunch at our local Mexican joint El Toro. Got 2 hard shell tacos and spanish rice. Had some of the tortilla chips, some of the rice and ate both of the tacos. Then the person I was with said we are getting Dairy Queen. He basically twisted my arm. Kind of. I knew El Toro was high points. My meal there was 17pp and I got a small sundae at DQ. Also knowing that was 7pp. I ate it all. My breakfast was 5pp. Guess what. I used all my points by lunch. WOW, I've never ever ever done that before. NEVER.
All day, I honestly thought about it. Kept explaining it over in my head it's OK. You can do that. Well for supper last night I had 2 pieces of Jelly Toast for 3pp. So technically, I went over by 3 is all, but still what I did yesterday is not normal for me. Fast forward to this morning. Stepped on the scale expecting the worst. Well, it read 151. Are you freaking kidding me! That's a pound and a half from Wednesday morning!!! I've heard about "shocking" your body and that's just what I did yesterday and thankfully it worked to my advantage.
Last Thursday we had our company picnic. It was at the Redhawks game in Fargo. We took a bus up to Fargo. We had an amazing time is all I can say for the night. Not quite sure if there really was a baseball game going on because I was having so much fun just socializing but I heard there was.
Bus ride home took us to Aber bar which is never good for anyone. And then back to Breck.
The next day was pretty rough, but then again well worth it because it was the day my new cowboy boots came (my birthday treat to myself). Well I had to try them on...RIGHT?
Well after all those shenanigans, I picked Tucker up from Daycare went home and packed and we were off to the lake for some R&R! Mr. Nottyness was not around for the most part for the entire weekend which I was pretty happy about. He had a blast out there. He's my little fish - he was pretty fearless in the water. Even to the point when we were out jumping off the pontoon he started doing twists!
Miss Ellie Pants was amazing out at the lake for her first time too. We didn't take her in the water because it was pretty chilly at first when you got in, but she enjoyed watching her brother play around. She has also in the last few days started eating some more solid foods. She LOVES them. Yesterday she wanted nothing to do with her baby food and wanted the puffs instead. She's starting to drink out of a sippy cup and is amazing at that as well!
I snapped this picture when we were leaving that lake. I think it's pretty precious. I kinda love these 2 little stinkers.

I rode an Elephant.

The circus was in town on Wednesday and we took the notty one there. Thankfully it was a success. He did great, other than when he figured out that if he said "I have to go potty", he would be able to get up and walk. So after 4 potty trips we finally said, no you don't have to go right now. Tucker enjoyed a snow cone thanks to his Auntie Tracy Burchill.
Mommy gets to throw away his shirt thanks to this Cherry flavored snow cone...but he enjoyed it so I'll live.
So intermission comes and they had elephant rides...not sure who was more excited to ride the elephant, Tucker or me. Never mind I know it was me. It was very cool, and I'm thankful for Tucker being too young to ride it himself. Thinking I would of looked very uncool riding the elephant with a bunch of young kids.
Ok so I still look uncool. But I can now say I rode an elephant! All in all, I'm glad we took him. I'm sure he won't remember it but I have pictures to show him someday.
I would just like to also mention, that I don't like to look at dudes in spandex doing a handstand split. It's not pretty and I'm not sure when that vision will leave my head.

I want to talk about how I look at my weight loss. If you were to ask me, how much weight do you have to lose yet? I wouldn't have a clue. Throughout this entire journey I've never known exactly how much I have to go yet. I think that helps me. All I know is that one pound at a time my goal just keeps getting closer and I know that one day I will be there. When? I don't know that either. I haven't said to myself, well if I lose one pound each week, I will be at goal by this day. Again, it's one day at a time. Thank you all for following me, and this journey. I appreciate all the compliments. They truly truly TRULY help me keep going!


What I ate yesterday:
Breakfast: Breakfast Sand which 4pp
Lunch: Totino's Pizza Rolls and pop chips 8pp
Supper: Grilled Chicken Salad and Small Strawberry Sundae 15pp
Snacks/Dessert: Barry Bakery Twist and Float Pop 2pp

I want to give a shout out to my friend and one of my biggest WW support peeps, Laura Iverson, she hit goal yesterday! She lost 35 pounds since March 2, 2011. Way to go LAURA! So proud of you!


I find this fitting for my post today.


Only One Pound

Hello, do you know me?
If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat,
And I'm the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It's because no one ever wants to lose me;
I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!
Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
That is, until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."
(As if that were such a terrible thing.)
For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because
they'll think I'm not worth losing.
And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin,
your hips and every part of you.
Happy Days!
After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!

Why I don't give up.

I'm already down a pound from yesterday. Exactly why I don't give up. If I would of, I probably would of been up 2 more pounds and had to back track that much more. This is just my mentality. It works and I will keep at it. I'm almost in the 140's. I can't wait!

A lot of people ask me what I eat. Well here is my meal plan for today.
Breakfast: Breakfast Scramble (eggs, hashbrowns, ham, cheese, peppers, mushrooms and onions) 2 pieces of toast and some fruit. 6pp
Lunch: I had Rice and steak with Stir Fry Veggies and some corn on the cob. 8pp
Dessert: I had one Barry's Bakery Cinamin Twist. 0pp and I'm going to have a float pop later for 1pp
Supper: 1 Cup of milk and I'm making Meatball Subs (I will have 2). 13pp
Total for the day 28 points. If I'm still hungry I may have another barry's bakery twist to fill in my one point gap ;)

I could break all this down to exactly how I make it but I don't have time today. I promise I really do eat the same things I use to eat. I just adjust the things I cook with.
Ellie had her 6 month well baby appointment today. She did great, I always hate bringing the poor kids to them, I wonder what they think. Mom, why are you letting these ladies hurt me :( While we were waiting for the doctor to come in, she fell asleep in my arms. I could of seriously sat there another 2 hours holding her while she slept. I love that little girl. Ellie's height was 25.75" 43%tile, weight was 17lbs 9oz 76%tile (my little chunky monkey) and head was 16.75" 46%tile. She's absolutely perfect and we got the go ahead to start anything grandma can eat without teeth in (in the words of Dr. H). She doesn't have to be seen until she's a year old now. Wow. A year, that's never going to come. Right?
Waiting for the Dr. I hate shots.
Tucker had a great night actually, he didn't get in much trouble thankfully. I just keep reminding myself this is just a stage, this is just a stage. Tomorrow he gets to go to the circus! What a lucky little boy. I hope he has a good time. I've been waiting for these days of being able to bring him to events like this!

I give up.

Well I give up. I'm throwing this week out the window. I gained one pound on Saturday and one on Sunday. No clue as to why except I don't think I drank enough water. So screw this week I'm going to eat whatever I want to and just say frick it. UM, HELL NO! Why on earth would I even think of doing that. A. I'm pretty sure it's water weight and B. Why completely just trash the entire week just because I gained a pound or 2. Instead here is what I'm doing. Drinking A LOT of water and eating a few more healthier choices for food. Even though I didn't go over my points this weekend, my food choices weren't the greatest (hot dogs, beef burritos, beer). So my point is, just because I gained doesn't mean I have to give up this entire week because of it. Suck it up, move on and don't dwell on it. Fix it. Here is a great article about the scale (that evil evil machine!) http://www.healthdiscovery.net/articles/scale_lies.htm
Tucker update. Well he was almost put up for sale again this weekend. Wow. Whoever's kid this is, I would appreciate you coming to get him and returning mine anytime now. Notty, notty, notty. Any tips on how to get a child to listen? I'll take em! Tucker is potty trained so he is no longer "fenced" in the living room. So anytime I leave the living room he thinks he needs to follow me. Well not much for him to do except find trouble in the kitchen/bedroom. So I say Tucker, please go back in the living room..."I don't want to". That's the response I get every single time. I say - I don't care if you don't want to, you do what Mommy says. I get "I don't' want to". And then I have drag him back into the living room, kicking and screaming and then he has to sit in time out. Over and over and over. Not fun. Mommy's stress level is at a 10. Very frustrating.
Words I never thought I would say:
Funny all these have something to do with his new potty training.
Tucker don't put your hands in the toilet.
Tucker get your hands off your wiener.
Tucker get your hands out of your butt (right after he shit by the way).
Tucker get your hands off your wiener.
Tucker don't put your hands in your pee.
Tucker get your hands off your wiener.
Tucker you can't pee in the middle of the yard.
But I do love this little boy, he still knows how to melt my heart by just saying I love you mommy. He is constantly asking for hugs and kisses so it does make up for a lot of the nottyness.
Miss Ellie is kicking butt at sitting and eating. She's getting much better at both! She seriously is so stinken smiley I just can't take her cuteness sometimes, well all the time!

My Secret.



People are always asking me, what are you doing to lose weight? What's your secret? How do you keep losing. Well here it is people. Here is my "secret". (PS, I'm not saying these are weight watchers rules, this is me and what I follow).


1. I don't cheat. I track my points. If I put it in my mouth, I count it. (TWSS)

2. If I don't know the points, I find them out before eating it. (I made this mistake before and it bit me in the ass, can you say 31 point wrap).

3. I don't waste points on non filling, most of the time, high point things. Breakfast cereal, fast food, pop (or soda for my non local friends), cake, cookies etc.

4. I revamped my thought process when it comes to food. This was me before. No way I can ever eat a salad and be satisfied. No way I can eat a cold sandwich and be satisfied. Guess what, Grilled chicken salads are my new favorite and guess what else. That cold sandwich is sure nice to have when you are in a hurry and it's low points. AND the kicker - both are super filling!

5. I don't take nights off. Ever. Ever. Ever. Not even if it's a special event.

6. I drink a lot of water. I mean I'm a camel I swear.

7. I make my meals count. I quit having a bowl of cereal for breakfast because it's not filling and it's high in points. Over my dead body will I have a "shake" for breakfast or a "bar" for lunch. Um no thank you, I'll have my delicious Fried Egg McMuffin for 3pp rather than your 6-9 point idea of a meal.

8. Fruits and Veggies are 0pp - HALLELUJAH, but I don't go overboard on them. Fruit still has major calories.

9. When in doubt, I shoot high. If I'm not 100% sure on the points value I estimate higher than what the tracker might say.

10. Find the lower point options for the stuff you eat everyday. Bread 1pp or 2-3pp you pick. Buns 2pp or 4pp. Hot dogs 2pp or 4pp. Brats 3pp or 6pp. You choose.

11. Get a great support system. That is huge in my success!

12. If I have a craving for something ridiculous in points. I have it. But not all of it. I have a bite or 2 and that satisfies me.

13. Change the way you cook, I cook a lot of things with fat free chicken broth instead of oil or Crisco. You can't tell the difference. I use the fat free soups to cook with as well, lowers the points but still tastes the same in your recipes.

14. Don't think you have to make "diet food" I make 95% of the stuff I used to make. It's called portion control people.

15. I avoid buying junk food. If I don't have it in my house, I won't be tempted to eat it.

16. I don't punish myself if I don't have a loss or if I have a slight gain. I know that I will continue to lose, I just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

17. I don't exercise. Shame. I know and wish I could but I don't have time at this point in my life. This is all been from following these rules.

18. Understand that weight loss is a SLOW PROCESS. There are a million fad diets out there (ahem spray your fat away....really?) but the only right way to do this is to change your lifestyle. You have to want it and you have to be 100% dedicated.

19. I'm not afraid to eat out. Do I do it as much as I used to, no. But I still do and it's a nice treat. There are some great websites that show you the points values for a lot of popular restaurants.

20. Last but not least. These new clothes that are looking fricking fantastic on me sure feel great oh and all the compliments help a little too ;) !!!


I think it's working. How about you?

Here goes nothing.

Well some really good friends inspired me to try this again. I wanted a fresh start so here it is. A quick update.


Tucker
Tucker is 2 1/2 now and totally terrible two's. He is completely a different child than when I had posted before. Like my title says, not sure whose kid he is because he is definitely not mine. Mailman? Schwans? Jehovah's Witness door knocker? Who knows. But if you happen to find my sweet, polite, caring, loving little boy please return him. He has been hitting and spitting at daycare. Not my kid. He got all his toys removed from the living room because I swear he hasn't touched them in a month.

Sad thing is, he hasn't even asked for them back. We decided to tell him he could have one toy to play with. He chose a Frankenstein mask. Backfire. He got bored with that and I offered for him to pick another toy, hinting towards a dump truck. He chose a hand held drum that he took in the living room and played with for 1 minute then decided to throw it. Backfire. He plays more with his sister's toys than his own. Well I will give him some credit. He is an amazing big brother. He loves his sister, even though I'm sure he's still jealous. I know he loves her to death. He will wipe her mouth if she has drool or spit up. He will be the first to tell me mom Ellie pooped. I'll say, no way because I haven't smelled it. So I check and sure shit, she pooped! He is constantly giving her hugs and kisses (melts my heart). When he is older I truly hope he still loves her this much!


Ellie
Little Ellie Lynn. 6 months old and stubborn. Wow. She is the boss. Even if she is starving, if she doesn't want to eat. She's not going to. Try again in about 10 minutes and then she'll think about it. If there is any commotion going on around her, not going to happen. She will let the milk roll into her mouth and just ooze out the sides of her lips rather than drink it if she's not in the mood. And naps. She's a little cat napper. A little 10 minute here, 1/2 hour here, basically making it impossible for mommy to get anything done. I'd also like to tell you that she tortured her father for the first 2 or 3 months of her life. When she would wake up in the middle of the night on his shift (yes we did shifts, it worked amazing and everyone should do this.) she would cry for 2 hours straight sometimes. I thankfully could not hear this from the bedroom on the other side of the house, but would sometimes wake up to go potty and hear this and offer to help. Jamie being as stubborn as Ellie says No, we'll get through this. (what a nice guy right?) BUT, she is an amazing night time sleeper now and it's honestly not very often she is in a bad mood. She has recently started sitting up so that means crawling is around the corner and walking is a few blocks and then Terrible TWO's AGAIN! Son of a bitch.


Me
I'm a loser. Not kidding. To date, I've lost 68 pounds and not far to go. It's a long slow process and it's hard. Not gonna lie. But I've stuck to it, and I'm very proud of my success. For those wondering I've been doing weight watchers since March 2nd. I have so many friends around me that are so supportive and there for anything. I really wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them. Other than my weight loss, my life is unorganized, moving way to fast and awesome as ever!

He works. He comes home. He eats supper. He give baths. That's pretty much his life. Not saying mine is better. I do the same thing except I'm cleaning up the kitchen while he is giving baths. He's an amazing dad though, his kids are lucky to have him!

Well I hope this was exciting enough for you to want to read again. If not I'm sorry I've wasted 5 minutes of your life!
