Today is the day I start thinking about me.

Today is all about me! When I got pregnant I came to terms with the fact that I was going to gain weight.. I had just spent the better half of the year before I got pregnant losing a ton of weight and I felt good and well looked damn good too! Well weight I did NOT gain while I was pregnant, I was so sick that I actually lost weight in the beginning, and when all was said and down, the night before I gave birth to Jules, 2 weeks overdue, I had only gained somewhere in the park of 22lbs, 9.4 of which were her! After I gave birth I continued to lose more weight as breastfeeding is a great diet! I ate whatever I wanted... cookies, donuts.. you name it, I ate it and the weight kept coming off! THEN Julianna decided that she not longer wanted to breastfeed, cold turkey! I was not ready but she sure was.. at around the 6 month mark. I was also not ready to go back to my "diet" or "new/old" lifestyle of eating.. so I didnt, and kept saying "tomorrow, tomorrow I will get back into the swing of things".. WELL 12 months later and um well lets just say many lbs later, tomorrow has not come! YET!!!! I kept thinking to myself, ok after the next baby I will get back to my goal weight. I have all the "skinny clothes" waiting patiently in the closet, hanging there longing to be worn. Well today I have decided that I can't and will not wait until tomorrow, I must start TODAY! Today is the best day to start! So as of today, I make a promise to myself to get healthy.. for Julianna, for my husband, for the baby that will some day be, and most of all for ME! Today is the day I start to make healthy choices.. Wish me luck!

So Julianna has now found a new love of the outdoors. I think it all started when she learned to dress herself. I mean she always enjoyed going outside now its a MUST. She goes to the door, gets her boots, coat and hat and either puts them on or brings them to us. WHile she is dressing or pleading us to dress her she is shouting "outside, outside.. please momma, outside" With this said, I am PLEADING with mother nature.. please bring spring SOON!!!!!
