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 :)
