Will it Happen

I had a bunch of thoughts running through my head this morning. I was reading my "In Shape" magazine and was wondering ..."Will I ever be that fit?" I run.. yes but will I ever lose this extra skin that I have around my belly? I think I am always looking at the scale, seeing the number go down (very slowly) and thinking well the number is dropping but I am still not comfortable with how a swimsuit looks on me. As much as I want that number to be in the 130's, I also want to be tone and feel comfortable in what I am wearing. So today, I will be starting something new. Not only am I going to try and eat good, That's what she said. but I am also going to run in this 90 degree weather and then try and do the shred. Hopefully that will help me tone up a bit:) I am tired of being in this rut and not feeling good about myself. It brings me down and I don't like it. So wish me luck and have a HAPPY Monday!

lost and FOUND

Well I weighed in today and it was 162. Exactly. I was surprised considering we went  on a trip and I did not eat the best of things. But hey... I'm not complaining. On another note, I have finially found our missing camera. It has been missing since the end of April and I thought I must have left it somewhere...but as I was cleaning out our portable DVD bag...there it lay. I tend to do this quite a bit and get made fun of a lot by the hubs. I am really trying to be better at not "hiding stuff" haha....we will se how that goes! I am trying this challenge this month and with all the trips and things we have going on...I am hoping that I will be able to do it. The challenge is to do a total of 100 miles of cardio in the month of July. So I will try to do it and keep you posted on my miles. :) Happy 4th of July!!

A little bit of everything

So I haven't posted in a while because I have been sooo busy with a bunch of stuff. First..I want to start by saying I am down to 163.8. That's right.. I know it's only 2 lbs but I look at it as even though it takes me a while to get it off...It has been staying off which is what is important to me:) Nova had her first birthday and it turned out amazing!! Here are just a couple pics:)

We also had Nova's 1 year pics done. I havcen't seen them all yet but here is a sneek peek:)

Well I guess that is it for now...Thanks for stopping by :)

Happy Saturday Morning

I am all smiles today! I of course, like just about everyday, got on the scale this morning and it read: 165.4!!WoooWhoooo...I have not seen this number in a long time....since I was prego. I am slowly making the truck back to my goal weight and I always say...the more time it takes to take off..the longer it will STAY off! So I just had to come and blog about it. I have a really busy next 2 months ahead of me. Bachelorett parties, birthday parties (for my little one),and a wedding.

Now I will share just a tid bit on what I have been doing to lose weight. So far, running has been the best for me and I am finding that it is working. I ahve also been trying hard to eat a LOT of fish. I prefer Mahi Mahi because it doesn't have the fishy taste:) I have been having trouble finding snacks so I have been trying to just stick with fruit. And yes, when I run I 9 times out of 10 have to take Nova with me so I am pushing a 24+ baby with a jogging stroller. I look at it as an extra workout. On that note...hope you all have a great weekend!!
