So What Wednesday!

So What...

-If I am declaring today a lazy day. Besides a trip to the park I have nothing else planned. And that includes cleaning, or cooking. I am going to relax today
- If I am reading 8 books at once. I'm going through a book phase where I start a book, put it down and start a new one. Cant find one that will keep my attention all the way to the end
- If I am counting down the days to our vacation. One more month to go and it can't come fast enough
- If Gianna's breakfast today consisted of applesauce from a jar and oranges from a can. Opps
- if my diet this week has failed. Today is another day
- If I bawled my eyes out when putting away Ethan's bassinett. My 20lb 7 month old doesn't fit into it anymore
- If my baby is back to waking up every 2 hours at night due to teething. I will take all the extra cuddles and snuggles I can get from my little man
- That the sod guys screwed up our sod delivery and now we have half a back yard that still needs to get done.
-That the budget got messed up due to the sod guys mistake. We will deal with it
-That I am out of coffee creamer. Milk and sugar will have to do
-That I plan on staying in my sweat pants all day. It might make me more motivated to work out. If not at least I will be comfortable all day!

The Perfect Weekend

This weekend was exactly what we needed. Relaxing. Friday the husband had off so we had some work done to the house. We are extending our patio and finishing up sodding the backyard so we had the guys come to pour the cement friday. Later on that night G and I went to Disney on Ice. She loved it. The boys were supposed to join us but we had a sick dog at home we couldn't leave unattended so I gave our extra tickets to my friend and her daughter.

Saturday we spent the day outdoors. I got up early and took the kids for a walk. After a walk we came home and played in the kiddie pool, ahad a picnic outside and played with chalk. That night our babysitter came over and the husband and I headed off to Destin for a date night. We ate at Mcguires(yummy food), walked around Harbor walk village, stopped at Target and walked along the beach at night. It was perfect in every way

Sunday we woke up, packed up the kids and headed for the beach. We were a little delayed since we locked ourselves outta the house so we had to wait for a locksmith to come get it open. Then off to the beach we went! Ethan screamed the whole time at the beach. Sigh but over all it was still a good time

After the beach we came home. Had friends over for dinner and ended out the night watching our favorite tv shows. The Borgias and Game of Thrones. The perfect end to the perfect weekend

Post Baby Body

Now that I am officially done nursing and being pregnant for awhile it is time to get my pre baby body back. However that will be harder than it looks. For one since having my babies I gain weight in totally different places than I did before. 2 it is hard to commit to a exercise routine with a husband who is always gone. the y is the only gym here in town with childcare and they don't accept babies until they are 6 months of age.With the summer months approaching and our family vacation a month away it is time to start to get in shape

My goal is to start doing a exercise video a few times a week and start going for lots of walks with the kiddos around our neighborhood. And I really need to cut out the soda, coffee, coffee creamer, and processed foods. If only I didn't lvoe food so much! Or have a husband who survived off of rice and lamb for months on end and who can devour anything in sight without gaining  a pound

But maybe if I put myself out there on this blog I can hold myself accountable. From here on out no more soda or junk food. I need to increase my intake of fruits, vegetables, drink lots of water and exercise more. We leave for our trip June 20th. I'm hoping to at least by then have lost 5 pounds and at the very least be well on my way to re-toning my body and gaining some definition besides baby flab

One of the hardest things about my post baby body is finding a swimsuit for the beach. I don't want to wear a two piece and scare all the tourists. My stretch marks and extra baby weight may be too much for some to habdle. however all the one pieces I have purchased I have ended up returning. They all make me look even fatter than my two pieces which I never thought possible. I mean I thought one pieces were supposed to suck everything in and hide it all. Not make me look 20 pounds heavier than I already am. And why are they cut so high. All one pieces make my thighs and hips look ginermous. And since they are plenty big to begin with I don't need any more help in that regard. So if anyone has found any cute, flattering one pieces let me know

and tomorrow I am going to start on my path on becoming healthy! Wish me luck
