Weightloss Update #1

Sorry this is a little delayed :) I am happy to report I am doing pretty good! Had a minor setback with being sick the last week so tonight's Zumba class will be my first workout since last Friday ( over a week ago) I know I have lost a little ground....Meaning getting back to the grind may be a little rough this week, Waking up tomorrow at 5:30 am is gonna kick my bum, But I will prevail!!!! I have actually really missed my workouts, It has become my 'ME" time :) And like I've said I truly believe I am a more patient, happy go lucky Mom with regular exercise. This week with being so sick ( I hadn't been that sick for some time) I let the boys kinda do whatever and it feels much better to not only be better of course but to get back to our semi-set schedule :) And mostly Im sure Dayton is much happier to have a wife back! I kinda get the blues when Im sick so I was not very forgiving to myself this week and seemed to try chew myself up & spit me back out! Im also attributing the "crazy, irrational thoughts" to the monthly reminder I am a woman :) SO lots of crazy talk this week....Thanks Dear for puttig up with me!On a happier not,  People have definitely been complementing me on my weight loss  more & more but I am a horrible complement receiver..I am trying very hard to be better and just say "thank you" and not start saying the "Yeah..but's"--  And also all of you gals comments were Awesome!! Thank you so so much :)
Last week at my sister-n-law Caitie's baby shower--Im feeling pretty slim..mind you Im standing next to a gal ready to give birth at any time :) 


This is my "glamour shot" from our family photos a month ago :)

The scale has been kind-- Im clocking in at 185-186 so I have lost about 4.5 in the last 2 weeks :) The only thing that Im hoping to change is to see more change in my hip-thigh area...That's my "problem area" Im still wearing my good ol' size 14-16 pants and yeah it's  nice to pull them out of the dryer and put them on ( I used to HAVE to hang all jeans to dry if I ever had any intention to put them on :) I would really like to just wear sz 12..Is that so much to ask :) So I gonna keep on the grind! Mexico in here in 9 weeks!! So still plenty of time to reach some milestones in this weightloss game!!!

Canidice!! You are looking awesome!! I wish I were there and could give you a huge hug (and go with you to your classes, would've been fun, dang it!)! And hello? Had NO idea Catie is pregnant. I'll have to call you or something and get all the updates on your life. Seriously true about the happier mom thing when we get exercise. Those breaks are SO necessary! I always feel great afterward. Love you!

I know what you mean about missing it when you can't work out. I swear that's why I was so grumpy the last part of my pregnancy because I missed the "me time" of working out and the positive endorphins I got from getting my sweat on. It seriously makes me a better mommy when I work out.

Weight loss has it's ups and downs, I know cuz I'm right there with you right now! But as long as we keep at it the scale WILL keep going down (like it is for you!) and we will be hot mama's before you know it! (not that we're not already hot mamas! We'll just skinnier hot mamas ; )
