New Business

I took a giant leap today and launched my blog designing website.

I'm very excited to be starting this business. I've done some designs for friends and I finally mustered up the courage to start my own business.

I have an ad going up over at The Heir to Blair starting next month, and I'm hoping that will help get my business started!

Flippin' Sweet!

So um...I lost 5 lbs. last week!

I have no idea how, but to say I'm excited just wouldn't cut it. I'm THRILLED! I'm getting closer and closer to my goal weight. Only 6 more lbs. to go!

I know I can do this. My fear is that I'll gain it all back once I stop breastfeeding. Brian and I are starting our "Hardcore Life-Style Change" today. I don't want to call it a diet, because that's not what it is. Yes, he needs to lose weight. And yes, I still have a few more lbs. to go. We're not as much concerned with losing weight as we are being healthy for our daughter and each other. I don't want my unhealthy eating habits passed on to Evie, so we need to nip it in the bud now.

So 6 more lbs. to go. I'm going to say I can do it in 3 weeks. Brian and I are going to start taking nightly walks with the babe, now that it's spring and we had day light savings. I can't wait to reach my goal weight and see Brian start losing some weight!

Current Stats and Goals:

Current weight: 151

Goal weight: 145

Goal weight loss for the week: 2 lbs.

Other goals: It was too raining to walk last week, so I want to walk at least 3 nights this week

4 months

It's been 4 months since Evie was born. I cannot believe how fast time is flying by. She turns into a big girl a little more every day. She is sleeping in her crib now (Thank the lord!), but only until about 2 am and then she wants Mommy. I don't mind. I love snuggling with my Evie Monster. :)

Thumbs up for being 4 months old!

McFatty Monday- Vacation Edition

Kauai was A-mazing! We had such an incredible time! We were so sad to leave, but so ready to get back to our baby girl.

Anyway, not the point of this McFatty Monday post.

The point of this post is to be a complete attention whore and tell you that...I ONLY GAINED 1 POUND ON VACATION! Yes, ladies, I am screaming that from the rooftops! Every time I ate something fattening in Hawaii, which was pretty much every meal, I kept thinking about how my McFatty Monday post would go when I got back.

I was so sure I gained at least 5 lbs., but nope. I got on the scale this morning and read those 3 beautiful numbers. 1-5-6. I was shocked! I'm so happy I was able to keep the weight off.

As fun as eating everything I wanted was, it's back to the diet today for me and Brian. The weather has taken a turn for the better, so we'll be doing nightly walks with Evie in tow. Which I'm thrilled about! I love taking walks in spring weather!

How did everyone do during the 2 weeks I was gone? Did you lose any? Gain any?

Current Stats and Goals:
Current weight: 156
Goal weight: 145
Goal weight loss for the week: 2 lbs.
Other goals this week: Walk at least 3 nights this week

Just a few pics...

We're having a blast, but we miss Evie a lot! :(

I'll post more pics when we get back!

Goodbye, dear friends.

See you in 8 days! :)

Down another pound!

Well...it wasn't the 3 lbs. I was hoping for, but I'm surprised I actually lost a pound considering I drank on Saturday night.

Brian and I had a rough week, so we left the babe with my mother, stopped off to watch Brian's brother play guitar in a band, then we were off to drown our sorrows with adult beverages at a local bar. Me with Stella Artois (the best beer ever, if you didn't know) on tap and Brian with dirty martinis and corona. We did a shot to really make us feel good. For anyone that knows about the calorie content in alcohol, especially beer, you'll know that this is not a good beverage choice if you want to lose weight.

So I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped on the scale this morning, only to find out that I lost a pound! ::dances around the room to I'm So Excited::

I think I can lose another 2 lbs. before we leave on vacation. I'm sure as hell going to try!

Current goals and stats:
Current weight: 155
Goal weight: 145
Goal weight loss for the week: 2 lbs.
Other goals: Try not to put too much on while we're on our trip. I think I'll probably gain 5 lbs. back though

PS: This will be my last McFatty Monday post until March 7th. Good luck to everyone is the next 2 weeks! :)
