Best Moment this week: Preparing Brody's room to paint. Replaced a part of his wall, Filled holes, Put edging on the windows. This week we have to sand and hopefully will be able to paint next weekend. =)
Boy, am I out of shape. Brody didn't know what was going on. I don't know if he liked it or not, but I had not felt him all day until I started the video. He started bouncing around a lot. lol He must of been asleep all day, because now he is moving like crazy. I feel great though. Hope I am not too sore tomorrow. That sounds so funny... Worried I might be sore after a 1 mile walk. lol! Whew the joys of pregnancy!
It's neat to be able to see his little bones in all these pictures. I can't wait for my next appointment, for a long ultrasound. That was the appointment we were supposed to find out what we are having, but in the midst of our little scare God let us have a little joy in the midst of the worry.
and we framed a picture of the ultrasound for his mom. 
I love it. It is so pretty. She is still deciding on a color, probably blue. 
Tom is here. :/ So I am very happy with this number. I know I should never be happy with a gain. I actually thought it would be more, but with Tom. So..yes I am! Plus it wasn't even half a pound. lol! I know it's just water weight. No worries!
It was so much fun and relaxing. I love it.
We came home with only 3, but we got lot's of nibbles. Nothing wanted to grab on though.
That is a loss of 1.8 pounds this week. I am back to what I was two weeks ago, before I gained what I did last week. I am still struggling with the food part of the diet. I make horrible choices. Hubby and I both talked the other night about how we both need to start eating better. He said that he knows it is his fault. I told him no, I could say no. We both had made bad food choices the last few weeks. If we want something we eat it, no matter what. So, as a family we are changing and I think that is what it is all about. It is hard for one person in a family to diet. It is not easy to sit down and eat grilled chicken if the other family members are eating it fried, etc.. So as a family we are going to become healthier. Yea!
on facebook. It is a picture of me reading to my class. Oh my gosh!!! I cannot believe how big I have gotten. I know I have gained, but oh my gosh! This is horrible!!!! I have got to lose this weight. I am so disgusted with myself. =( 
had so much fun! 
Of course I left my camera at home, but my friends got some pictures of us, so I was excited. More to come. 
That is a loss of 1.6. I am super excited about that. Could have been more, but I cheated and had pasta and ice cream last night. lol! What was I thinking the night before a weigh in?
and a granola bar for breakfast. 
Lunch time was there before I knew it. 
I had soup, carrot sticks and a yogurt. I love Monday's. They are always my busiest day, but also my most tiring day. We didn't make it to the gym on Monday. Hubby had a headache and we had a late meeting with our insurance agent. I just made a turkey sandwich and had a handful of chips for dinner, and got in bed to watch The Bachelor. Then it was off to dream land.
Then had a mid morning snack of grapes and almonds.
I left work, and got my tan on. =) Rushed home got my gym clothes on and headed to the gym. I hopped on the elliptical machine, got a 35 minute cardio workout, and then did some upper body weights. I love how I feel after the gym. Came home and warmed up a lean cuisine to eat for dinner, while I am watching the Biggest Loser.
Now I am having a granola bar for dessert. 
A friend let me borrow it and I am super excited about it. It is a little snug, so I am hoping to lose a few pounds by next Saturday (26th). I started tanning yesterday to get rid of this pasty white skin. lol So, my motivation for this week is this dress and the gala. 
Omgosh look how tiny I was. Look how little my face and neck were. I so wanna be this little again. Wow! No more dreaming, I will look this hott again!!!
He surprised me with roses
and a necklace with matching earrings. 
He grilled steaks, made baked potatoes and garlic bread and we had a romantic candle lit dinner. It was so yummy. He is so romantic. Then Tuesday I was beat, so I just made a little stir fry out of the left over steak. I didn't go to the gym, but I did get a good workout cleaning house while I watched biggest loser. Today was my sweet niece Ava's birthday. 
She turned five today! 
I cannot believe she is five already. Seems like just yesterday we were at the hospital anticipating her arrival. I remember holding her for the first time and not wanting to put her down. I can't imagine my life without this sweet angel. She truly has my heart and I am so blessed to be her aunt.
a few weeks ago, and she asked me yesterday to be her Matron of Honor. I am so honored and excited!! This is some huge motivation for me also. Her wedding is on October 8, so I have exactly 8 months to get to my goal weight. I have my 150lb goal weight by my 5th anniversary, but my ultimate goal is 140lbs. It was originally by the end of the year but now I would like to be 140lbs by Brooke's wedding. So, I have 8 months to lose 49 pounds. That is an average of 6 pounds a month. Very do-able. I need lots of prayer and encouragement to get there. I have the reason/motivation now, I just need the willpower to make it.
and waited for the doctor's office to open and headed that way. I stopped by the store and grabbed a 12oz mountain dew. 
I drink lots of water, but I knew I would have to take a test, and didn't want watered down urine. Did you know that diet friends? Too much water can effect your test? So if you have to take a pee test drink comething other then water before hand. I didn't get the 20 oz, just the 12 oz, and I have been drinking it for 5 hours now. lol! On to the results: No flu thank goodness, just a cold. Do you want to hear how he told me though? Well, he opened the door and said " You're expecting" and then paused. Of course I got really excited until 3 seconds later he finished his sentence with "the flu, but we are gonna nip it in the butt while it's still a cold." Then a cried. :( It was not as funny as he thought it would be. They gave me two shots, a zpak, hydrocodine, and flonase. I took it with a handful of croutons. (2 pts?) Then for lunch I had a lean cuisine (5 pts) 
I don't really have an appetite, but I made myself eat it. Can't get better if I don't eat something. After lunch I went to my Grandmother's house. She is moving into an apartment in the city, yea. She is in the country now and it worries me her being alone out there. Anyway she is getting rid of a bunch of stuff in her house and she gave me....
This cute little Kitchen Cart.
Two of these awesome shelves.
It is a lot like mine but a little bit nicer. It has the glass top and five eyes, so we are gonna swap ours out. This really neat globe. It is something I would never buy, but I loved it for some reason. Needs a plant underneath it? ideas?
I racked up, and still am going back for a few smaller things this week. =) After all of that moving, Hubby knew I didn't feel like cooking so he came home from work with kfc. What a sweetie. Bad for the diet, but I had plenty of points left for it and it was delicious.
My body aches so bad. That's the worst part of this cold. Hoping I feel better by Monday so I can start c25k week 2! =) Yea!!
