uuuuuummmm I forgot.

To weigh myself this morning. *slaps head with palm*

Pretty sure its not going to look to good though. I didn't keep track of anything. I didn't really work out, and there was icecream. So yeah... stay tuned tommrow as watch me shrink turns into HOW DID I GAIN XX... Oh yeah i remember. lol

Reason # 1

Why I need to get rid of this extra weight.


I can't stand that PCOS is taking over my life again, with its crazy wave of symptoms.

Bloating
Fatuigue
Sleepyness
Facial hair
blah feeling

I haz itz... I don't want it.

I will kick this things arse agian I have to.

Watch Me Shrink

Last week I lost 2 pounds! YAY! ... Mostly because of a lot of yard work I did on the one really nice day we had.

This week is going to be about adusting. Adjusting my diet and my exercize, and also adjusting my water in take. I've been drinking alot of anything that isn't water, and I want to get back into drinking water.

Goals this week:

Drink more water.

Exercize 3 times on my eliptical for 20 mins.

Eat less junk.

The Stats:
Starting weight: 216 ( 2 weeks ago.)
I weighed in this morning at 210.
My goal is 180.

Pounds lost: 6

Pounds to goal: 30

Losing it.

I hereby reinstate Watch Me Shrink Wednesdays! Who's in? (I'd do some sort of fancy linky thing here but I have no idea how.) So if you are losing it too just leave a comment and let me know.

So here's the deal... Jack is 7 months old, and I guess I had the delusion that the "baby" weight would have come off by now. By baby weight I mean the 15ish pounds that I gained while pregnant, and the 15ish pounds that I had to lose before I got pregnant. I got fed up only having a couple things that fit, and with spring coming NOTHING really fits. So. Yeah. There’s that.

So to get rid of my "protective layer" I am getting on my new friend the elliptical, and I'm doing that for a half an hour. Also I'm eating less.
Now that the weather is improving I see walks with Jack in the park and around the neighborhood happening in the near future too.

The Stats:
Starting weight: 216 ( 2 weeks ago.)
So I weighed in this morning at 212.
My goal is 180.

Pounds lost: 4

Pounds to goal: 32

To some people that may seem like a high goal weight. But I'm 6 feet tall, and if I weigh much less than that I look scary.

Day 10: favorite make up.

This question asks about MAC cosmetics. I don't own any. I'm sure they are awesome but I can't justify paying that much money for make up. So here are some of my favorites.

Kat Von D, True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Ludwig
I love how rich and shimmery the colors are in this pallet.

Nars Orgasm blush. Firstly, with a name like Orgasm it has to be good. Right? Second, its the perfect shimmery peachy pink. It works with my pale skin and when I have a tan. Its awesome.

Buxom mascara. It gives my lashes. That's no small feat.

Revlon Photo Ready foundation. I like it becasue it covers all of the yuck in my skin that has cropped up since having Jack. I didn't have acne durring purberty, but now I do. Awesome... NOT.


** all pictures are loveingly stolen from the internet. also I am not being paid to say I like or use these things. If some one wanted to pay me it would be cool though. :)

Day 9: Virtues.

I think my biggest virtue is patients. I can sit for hours and work on something and deal with unruly people all day. I know that as a parent, being patient has already helped me so much. I don't really lose my cool very easy. So Jack’s crying jags don’t get to me. I know when he is a toddler it will help too as I can already see his temper fits are going to be epic. He got his mommy’s stubbornness.

Day 8: Beauty Secret.

I don't have much time to spend in front of the mirror these days. But I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.

I have had terrible greasy hair since I got pregnant, it hasn't gone away. So I had to find something to do to make it more liveable. Once every two weeks I wash my hair with shampoo mixed with a tablespoon of baking soda, then I deep condition it. The baking soda clearifies and it leaves my hair light and not weighed down and lifeless.

If I do have time to get in there and do my make up, I don't have time to touch it up a thousand times durring the day, so I need it to stay put. I found this product durring one of my rare trips to Sephora, and I love it!

It's called glittler eye primer. If you put it on your lids before you put on your liner and shadow it stays put and you don't have to mess with it all day.

Day 7 : Cry it out.

I've been sick. I'm feeling a little better now so I'm playing catch up.

I never really had to try this method myself. We have been so blessed with an awesome sleeper. Sure there have been periods that he woke up at midnight and stayed up till 3 but I think that's a normal part of babyhood.

Jack slept in our room in a pack 'n' play for the first three month of his life. It was really more for me then for him. I wanted my baby near me. I wanted to be able to get up and grab him and feed him and put him back down without waking up too much. I wanted to be able to watch him sleep. I had this friend that had me so unnecessarily scared of SIDS that I could let him nap in a different room when he was first born. That ended as soon as I realized that I had no clean clothes and hadn't showered in days because I was afraid to do anything while he slept. When he was around two months it got to the point where Hub or the dogs or I would wake him up at night. His sleep patterns got worse instead of better. None of us were getting any sleep.

So Hub suggested that we put him in his crib, all the way in the next room. It took me about a week before I gave in and put my baby in his very nice crib in the next room. I sat in the living room watching him on the baby monitor till at least midnight. An amazing thing happened. He slept. He slept until 3 am that night. So I got 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep that night. It was heaven. Before long Jack slept for longer and longer periods of time.

We basically give him a bottle and a little snuggle time then he goes in his crib awake but sleepy, and he falls asleep on his own.
Because Jack learned to fall asleep by him self we get adult time and sleep.

Day 6: Most embarassing moment.

I don't have a most embarrassing moment, because too many embarrassing things happen to me in the course of a week to have one giant glaring one that sticks out above the rest.

Last week:

I was dragging the trash cans out to the end of the driveway, and on my way back up to the garage my pants fell down around my ankles... undies too... Did I mention I live on a main road... and that it is almost always busy. Sorry drivers.

I dropped a jar of pickles in the garage... it broke... my car that I park in said garage smell vaguely like pickles.

I fell on ice.

I talked to someone without realizing my fly was down.

Basically I’m a big klutz. This stuff happens so often to me that I don’t really even notice anymore.

Day 5: Thank you note.

This is a day late but here goes.

Dear random lady in Meijer,

Thank you so much for your kind words. You have no idea how much it meant to hear that. Thank you so much for telling me that I look thin for just having a baby. The amazing complement you gave me about my handsome little guy was also good. But those kind words made my week. I haven't been feeling so go about myself lately and you made me smile and realize it’s not that bad. You gave me the drive to change a few things, and get off my butt and do the work. Thank you. Karma will pay you back big time for that.

Love,

The girl with the cute little man in the freezer isle.

Okay let me premis this by saying that almost nothing I own fits. I'm working on that but it is slow going. Needless to say this is an old photo. Prebaby. I love this dress. Its comphy, and flowy, and it goes great with flip flops.

Day 3: A photo that makes me happy.

This is hard because I have so many. So here's more than one. :)

The first photo is my brother, Jeremy holding Jack. It's hard to get Jeremy to smile, and if you look real close you can see him smiling at Jack.

The second picture is my fist ever trip to Disney.

The third photo is of my Jeep on the beach in the Outer Banks NC. It was so fun to go becah driving.

The last photo is what happens when Daddy feeds Jack.

Day 2 : What makes you uniquely you?

I'm the girl with chipped nail polish.

I'd rater be on the beach then anywhere else on earth. Even though I burn like a lobster in just a few minutes.

I grew up in a beach town because of this, I love the quiet solitude of a remote beach in the off season.

I'm the one who is partly invisable in public, but when you look you can really see her.

I am a decent cook.

I hate writing about myself.

I am crafty, artistic, and creative.

I secretly want to be a country singer, but I really don't sing that well. I mean I'm okay in the car, or shower or while cleaning the house... but not in front of people, who might have payed to see someone sing.

I want to learn to play guitar, desperately.

I have a very small, very close family. I live very far away from most of them. They mean the world to me.

I'm shy and quiet, till I decide that your an okay person. Then you'll never shut me up.

I have scares physcally and emotionally. The emotional ones are always worse.

I suck at spelling.

I dont tust or scare easlily.

I love taking pictures.

I someday really want to own a house. Mostly because we move every three years and I really want some place that is mine.

When I was growing up I had 2 goats, 4 bunnies, 3 cats, 1 dog, and alot of ducks and chickens. Not all at the same time though.

I will eat the whole container of icecream... so hide it from me please!

I have a drawer full of candles. I think its an upsesion now.

Day 1 : What age do you miss the most?

Jack is going to be 7 months old on the 8th of this month. Its scary. He's growing so fast. He's almost crawling. He's almost saying mama (AAAAAAHHHHHHHma!)

If I could go back to any age I think it would be that first week we brought him home. It was the safety of it. He spent 5 days in the NICU after an emergency c-section. I remember thinking if we could just get him home it would all be okay, and it was.

That's my baby, and that's his Daddy's thumb. He was born at 36 weeks, and was so tiny. When he was born he wasn't breathing. It was scary. It all was so scary.

This is me holding him on his first day home from the hospital. He was so tiny he fit in the palm of my hand. He wore preemie clothes for about 2 weeks. I put them all away yesterday and I cried like a girl because he was so tiny. He's orange because he had awful jaundice on top of everything else. He was so perfectly snuggly, and I just sat for hours holding him and sniffing his little head. It was the first time I let myself relax enough to enjoy being his mom. I stopped being so worried and was able to be happy.

This is Jack now. He's so big and strong and independent and stubborn. He's perfect.
