I don’t have a lot of time today, so I’m gonna make this quick (that would be a first!!) Ha. Anyway, I’m loving this low-carb diet thing SO MUCH, but it is freaking hard! I’m on day #5 and my body is slowly starting to adjust and chill out. Days #3 and #4 were so so hard, but I told myself to NOT give up because I know it gets a LOT easier eventually. Seriously though, we went to Costco on Wednesday night and I wanted to eat the ALL of the (Costco sized!) bags of Halloween candy. The bread, Continue Reading…
Carson’s Blessing Day + My New Healthy Adventure
Well guys, I haven’t been able to blog for a while, so I have a lot to share! I will do my best to keep it brief and not go on…and on…and on…and on! On Sunday, we blessed baby Carson at church. It was such a special day and I’m happy to say I held it together pretty well and didn’t break down crying. Yay me. After his blessing, we had lunch at our house with family and friends. It was really nice. We had soup, breadsticks, salad, fruit, pasta salad, Jello, chips and a bunch of treats. The soup Continue Reading…
Frustrations with Weight Loss + Things that Make me Happy
I’m very sad to report that I STILL have NOT lost any more weight in the past THREE weeks! In fact, there are days I’m up a pound or two. Seriously. Seriously. What gives!?!?!?! Yes, it sucks. In fact, in sucks so bad that I decided to NOT take my “official 7 weeks postpartum” picture this week. Ya. I didn’t take a picture because I look EXACTLY the same! Geesh. Soooo, if y’all are curious what I look like these days…..here ya go….. Yes, those are my “official” 4 weeks, 5 weeks and 6 weeks postpartum pictures. My 7 weeks Continue Reading…
A Fun Weekend + Healthier Zucchini Bread
We had such a fun, yet busy, busy weekend! On Friday night, Kev and I (and baby Carson) were able to go out on a quick date. We decided to get some Chinese food and it was great. Quick note: I’ve been EXTRA tired and sleep deprived lately (auuughh!) and I can really tell in this picture. My eyes just look so………….dang………….tired and my smile looks a little bit contrived, lol. Such is the life of a new mother….or ANY mother for that matter! I really, really….I mean REALLY wanted to order the Sweet and Sour Chicken, but I decided Continue Reading…
Productivity and EXERCISE!
Well life has been good lately! I’m starting to feel like my crazy “newborn baby life” is starting to settle down into a more predictable schedule. Yay! Carson is such a sweet, good-natured baby. He sleeps quite a bit during the day and is a pretty good sleeper at night too (he usually does a 5-5 1/2 hour stretch.) He’s also generally happy and only cries when he’s tired, hungry, needs to burp or needs a new diaper (not all of my babies have been like that, lol!) He is such a doll and I’ve been soaking up every second Continue Reading…
A Whole Bunch of Completely Random Things!
I haven’t been able to blog as much as I would like to, dang it! Life is crazy and I’m just trying to keep the balance with a new baby. Unfortunately, blogging is usually at the bottom of the list. 🙁 Sooooo, today I have a million random things to share with y’all! First off, I was the receiver of a very interesting compliment/insult recently. K, so a random man came to do some work on our house the other day. He was probably in his mid-50s and was very nice. When he walked in our house, he saw baby Continue Reading…
