Confession time

So, I must confess....

Back in May, I was losing weight for my brother's wedding. I was doing great! Partly because I was more disciplined and partly because (sorry boys) I was still nursing. I was keeping track of my weight loss online and had lost 9 pounds. Well....my confession is I have gained ALL of it back since we have lived here! I am going to start my weight loss program again and see if I can get closer to my goal weight. This means I must lose 16 pounds. Since I am not nursing, this is going to be much more difficult than before, especially since the holidays are coming up. I must confess my eating sins on here each day so that I can be help accountable for what I have done. I will also post my accomplishments. Hopefully one of these days I will be in shape. We have been "barely" doing the P90x videos, but nothing religious. I have a little situation lingering since Parker was born that I am also trying to fix so that I am able to work out at a maximum level. My first specialist Dr. appointment will be December 11. Until this is fixed, I can't work out a ton, which means more dieting WHICH I HATE!

I was trying to think of another goal date to have my weight lost. I hope to finish sooner than this, but I have decided to use my friend's wedding, which is at the end of March, as my mark. That gives me a little over 4 months to lose it. That is only 3.5 pounds a month. SURELY I can do this or better. I just need to quit gaining weight! I was down to a size 6, now back up to a 10. Sheesh. NOT GOOD.

Ok...so here goes my eating confession:

Breakfast:
Half Banana
Half Cinnamon Roll---YIKES
Tiny square of sour cream and sausage casserole
Two strawberries
Two apple slices

Lunch:
Six chicken nuggets
Side salad with ranch

I ran/walked for about 45 minutes

Dinner: (haven't eaten yet, but that's what's on the menu)
Chimichanga with sour cream

Unfortunately, I am going scrapbooking tonight and feel as though I will be tempted to eat something bad for me. Hopefully tracking my intake will help me refuse.

We'll see how things go.

The family went to Animal Kingdom today and we had a GREAT time! I love that we can just hop in the car and go to Disney! What fun!

Farm Day


Breaking Beans

Savannahs Pre School Class

Found her hidden pumpkin with her name on it

Horse race

Getting eggs

Savannah with friend Shelby

Giddy Up

Savannah's school recently had a farm day where the kids got to ride a pony, a train, and learn to milk a "cow." They also leaned how to break beans. It was so cute. Savannah was a precious little country bumpkin!!

Comparisons!!

Here are a few pictures of Savannah and Parker on their first birthdays....pretty neat how much they look alike!





Colorado Springs

Brent was in Colorado Springs for a couple of weeks, so I took the kids across country to see him and, of course, the pretty mountains. We were hoping to see some old friends, but Mother Nature had other plans and dumped over a foot of snow! Although we weren't able to get out as much as we had hoped, we saw some great views and spent some good time together. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Garden of the Gods



So cute!

Brent bought the kids new warm PJ's as a surprise for their arrival!

No, not a meteor shower, just snow captured by my flash!



LOTS of coloring

Road on the AF Academy



She would touch it, but only for a second...it was too cold!

He thought I was funny just asking him to touch it!

Sweet babies on the plane!
