215.2.........that's my number for today. I'm up a little over a pound. Yes it could be worse, but it sure as hell could have been a lot better!! I know what part of the problem was. We had pizza last night, which for the most part was fine, but it was the brownie I had for dessert at 9pm last night that's not doing me any favors. Oh well.......live & learn I guess. Tomorrow is a new day!
I do know though that I've got to find some motivation from somewhere to start exercising. I'm getting married sometime next year, and I refuse to be a "fat" bride again. I want to beable to wear something really cute! Am I ever gonna be super skinny?? No! Am I ok with that? Hell yes!! I don't want to be super skinny....blak! I just want to be thinner. Like where I was shortly after my divorce. I felt good & I looked pretty good. I could shop for normal size clothes in regular stores, and actually get some cute things. I'm not doing the normal wedding dress this time. I asked Brannen if he wanted/needed to see me in that at our wedding, and he said no. Said as long as I was there to marry him he didn't care what I wore :) Isn't he the greatest!! Anyways, so I just wanna find something really cute to wear. Kinda country, but kinda beachy. Yes I know......those 2 don't really go together. Well I'm gonna make them go together!! LOL!!
Well Shawna has started fussing so I'm gonna cut this short. If anyone has any good ways to get yourself motivated to even just get out for a walk, PLEASE I am all ears!! :) Happy Friday y'all!

Checking in.....
So today was a weigh in day.......not great, but not bad. I am down, so that's a plus! :) Last Friday I weighed in at 214. Today I was 213.6, so a loss of .4 lbs. Like I said, not great....but not bad. I'm gonna take it! Any loss is better than gain any day :) My biggest thing is the exercising. Well, and the eating better.
I was doing really great on the eating part, and now all of the sudden my appetite is reverting back to wanting all the crappy food. And I don't even mean fast food type of crappy food. For me it's more of the sweet's. I get a sweet tooth at times that starts to take over my life. I'm one of those types of people who starts to crave "something" but can't seem to figure out what that something is, so I try everything in the process to figure it out. What does that mean for my waist line? CRAP!! I try so hard to just not eat a bunch of sweets, but of course the harder I try not to then the more I want them. Yes I know, don't deny yourself cuz then you'll bing. I know I know! The problem is though, again, half the time I don't know what sweet it is that I want. So I walk around all day trying tons of different sweets in search of the one my body wants. Gah!!! Drives me nuts!
As for the exercising......well I suck at it! Just tonight at dinner I told everyone (Brannen's sister & nephew are visiting) that I was going to talk the baby & go for a walk after dinner, did anyone want to go with me. I knew Brannen wouldn't want to, but thought maybe the kids would. Well they didn't feel up to it so what happened in the end?? I DIDN'T GO!! :( Damn! Now I'm not saying I don't get any exercise in at all, cuz I do. First off I'm lifting a baby up & down all day long. I am now working 3 days a week, and that in itself is a workout, as the office is up a huge flight of strairs. So those 3 days a week I'm definitely getting my stair climbing in. I'm usually up & down those damn stairs at least 3 times each time I'm there, which is good! I hate stair climbing machines at the gym, but if I can do regular stairs & not have to think about it then I do great. Just need to get myself motivated to start walking on my off days.
So now that I've rambled on, and haven't made much sense to anyone other than myself. I'm going to head to bed. My babe, and baby are already there :)

Newish life........
Mom.....mommy....momma......all names I never thought I'd hear myself being called. I LOVE THEM ALL!! Little Miss Shawna Michele has stole my heart & has me wrapped around her finger. Her daddy too ;) lol!!! Everyone always says, once you have a baby your life changes, and their 100% right! Though you have no way of understanding that concept until it happens to you.
So far I love everything about being a mom. The getting up every 3 hours through out the night. The poopy diapers. The fussiness & crying. LOVE ALL OF IT!! LOL!! Don't get my wrong I would totally love for her to sleep through the night, but to me this is all part of the experience :)
I have gone back to work part-time, and am able to take her with me. It is great! She stays with her daddy on Monday's, but then Wednesday & Friday's she goes with me. I'm able to get outta the house & make some extra money, but still have her with me. Then that one day a week I get some me time! :) I wouldn't want it any other way!!!
So now that she is here, and life is getting back to "normal" I am starting to concentrate on getting back to a healthier weight. I can tell already that she is going to keep me on my toes & that means being able to chase her around without running out of breath :) LOL!! Thankfully I am already down below where I was before I got pregnant with her. Definitely makes this a lot easier, and a lot more motivating. Pinterest is an amazing thing, and I am finding all kinds of healthy recipes as well as some good home excersices. Now I've just gotta get my butt in gear, and do it!! LOL!! I think I might post about my progress on here, as to help keep me accountable for whats going on. I may not always go into much depth about whats going on, but at least by telling you guys how I'm doing I have to fess up if I put weight on.....lol ;) So from time to time if y'all haven't heard from me in the way of a blog post just nudge me a little, and ask me how I'm doing :)
So....to get this started I will start with that I was 220 lbs when I got pregnant with her. I gained 18 lbs through the course of my pregnancy putting me at 238 (my highest weight ever!) As of Friday I was 214 lbs. Not too bad! :) My first mini goal is to be under 200 lbs which means I need to hit 199. I will try to remember to post every time I weigh, which is twice a week, but if that doesn't happen I will try to post at least once a week about what happened for the week.
That being said I am going to go cuddle with my baby girl, and my man :)
