128

This is the number that made me jump for joy this morning. For a whole MONTH I was stuck on 130 I couldn't get past this huge wall. It was so frustrating and towards the end got a little depressing. I was told that when you hit a wall you should change it up, so I did. I tried so many new things and kicked up my cardio to the max and for weeks this did nothing. I was at a loss, I had no idea what to do. Well this morning I woke up and got on that scale, and as the numbers jumbled disappointment was ready to set in, when all the sudden it stop at 128.4! I was so excited! Now I know this is only 2 lbs. Whats 2 meesely pounds? Well this just means that I am no longer stuck, that I can keep going on the path to the body I want. So to date I have lost 16 lbs and only have 14 to go. I am going to shoot for 10 until im done nursing. I can't cut my calorie intake down too far just yet. The most important thing about all of this is how I feel. I feel soooo much better. I am more energized and I have a little more confidence about myself. Having babies really does a number on your confidence. Well I shouldn't say having babies, but just your body after having babies. I am so grateful and wouldn't change a single thing about my life especially my babies! I just love them and am willing to go through this 4 more times so I can enjoy the blessing of having babies and raising them. Greg only wants 4 kids so I guess we will see how many more times I will really do this again. Anyway I wanted to share my exciting news with everyone!

Whats happenin lately

Here are a few things we have been up to. I feel like I haven't really taken very many pictures lately, probably because its been cold and we are boring. Also I realized I have hardly any pictures of myself for the past year, probably because I dont really like the way I look in pictures haha. Anyway Carlie is a rolling machine, she is starting to scoot and learn to sit up. She is a happy baby and laughs often.

We went to Vegas, Greg had to go for work so we went along with him and Sydnie saw the lions at the MGM Grand Hotel.
we tried to go swimming, the water was freezing but Sydnie still loved it. Greg lasted about 5 min. and then we all went in the spa.
Two days before Vegas we went to a Jazz/Clippers game, it was family night so we got a good deal on tickets. It was a lot of fun, I enjoy going to sporting events a lot more than watching them on TV, something about the atmosphere makes me have fun. The Clippers won and the only reason we were routing for them was because our friends are Jazz fans and we went with them haha.
