18 to go

Well I am officially down 39 pounds since having Alexander, and only 18 more to go! That's right , that means I gained 57 pounds with this boy! But that's not what's important. What is important is that I'm getting it all off before the next pregnancy, and I won't make the same mistakes (ice cream) during my next one! Ive been doing bootcamp twice a week, strollercize twice a week, running and working out downstairs in our home gym. I'm normally not much of a runner but I've really started to get into it! I did my first 7km run today in 56 minutes, with a stroller. Not bad if I do say so. There is also the healthy eating, but today was cheat day and I have enjoyed me some treats! I am really careful with my diet all week but on Saturdays I let loose. I find this is the best weight loss method, as it helps me stay on track 90% of the week. 

We have officially started working on Christmas gifts, the homemade ones at least! But I won't say too much as I don't know who is reading and I don't want to spoil the surprise! Only 10 weeks until Christmas! Sandy and I are hoping to buy a trailer this year for Christmas so we won't be doing gifts but Im hoping to surprise him with a few homemade creations! That also means only 11 weeks until we head to Mexico for Ky's wedding! Can't wait. Daddy spent the day putting up Christmas lights, our house/yard is going to look like a Christmas wonderland this year! While Dad did that we attempted some hand and foot prints for our baby book... fail! There is paint everywhere! But it's still cute so we will save them!

Great Grandma is coming up to visit for a few days so she will be here tomorrow. We also need to visit Aunty Elyse since she just got her wisdom teeth out. I didn't want to tell her this before but I would definitely consider child birth better than wisdom tooth removal. There is no prize when you get those puppies removed! But hopefully she has a quick recovery! Anyway it is pizza night so off we go to enjoy the last few hours of "cheat" day! Have a good weekend all!

Oh and Happy First Birthday to Chevy!!

October

October you are here! Time to decorate for Halloween, switch the shoe shelf from flip flops to boots, pull out the coats, sweaters, and jackets and wish Chevy a Happy Birthday! Fall is here, along with fog and some chilly weather!  We've been working really hard on our mission, only 13 weeks to go and down 35lbs! I can't wait to wear my jeans (among other things) again! I've been working hard at bootcamp, strollercize, on the cross trainer and running outdoors. I'm also trying to get everyone else motivated for the trip! Speaking of trip, this wedding is getting closer and closer! Last weekend we got to work dyeing our bridesmaid dresses and despite my apprehension I'd say they turned out pretty good! 

Of course, I'm purple!

Now all that's left is a bridal shower and stagette part 2. Should be fun! Other than that it's time to start thinking about Christmas gifts (especially the home made ones) I think that's about all I have to say today, time to wake this baby from his nap and feed him! We'll probably cuddle up on the couch for the afternoon until our visitors get here tonight for Taco Tuesday! YUM YUM!
