THEY FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So last night, after work M and I were getting ready to head out to do groceries. I told him that I bought a pair of jeans about a month ago that they were 1 size to small for me and that I would like to try them on. So I went to the bathroom ( I didn't want him to see me trying to squeeze into them, hold my breath type of thing). I came out screaming THEY FIT THEY FIT!!! OMG THEY FIT!  I was so excited that they fit me, I couldn't believe it! WOW...but the bad news is that they look awful on me. My love handles are hanging everywhere my baby gut from W is just blah....So my next goal is that  since they do  fit me,  is to look Hot in these jeans, and hey if i loose more inches and don't get to wear them oh well they will make a great gift for someone! But THEY FIT!!!!!!! Bye bye size 34 and HELLO SIZE 32!!!!
:)
 So excited the scale mind you says nothing but I am doing something right!!!!

What makes you smile?

What makes me smile......
    Everything that this lil man does.

His my world....just seconds ago before putting him to bed, he was calling me "ma ma" I turn the corner, and when he notice me, he had a big smile and a wobble run with a bottle hanging out of his mouth and arms put in the air to give me a hug, and to be honest, we wouldn't love that. I pick up squeezed and told him that Mommy loves him more and more while smothering him with kisses.

In the morning, when you hear that same thing "ma ma" and you get to his crib to see him standing there with the best smile in the world, just makes your morning and who cares if its 6:00 am on a Saturday morning.

I could go on and on how much this child makes me smile and how much I love him.
 I Honestly think his the best thing that has every happen to me and I never knew there could be someone I would love so much!

Anyways
What makes you SMILE :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

 What a busy long weekend! It was awesome to say the lease. Friday night I spent at home with W, spending every little moment I could with him! I miss being with 24/7 like I was when I was on maternity leave. Saturday morning we woke up and breakfast together, than I got ready for my annual shopping trip with my mom. We always go Saturday of Thanksgiving, since my step dad always is away Moose hunting. This is a day where time doesn't matter to me and my mom. We never look at our watches once to see what time it is. Because we have the whole day together and we want to enjoy it. I had lots of fun with mom, we stop in at Moxies for lunch which was nice to do, just sit and chat. I bought lots of clothes for W, some are for now and some I put away for Christmas. But while I was standing in line at Winners, I notice a pair of Silver Jeans sitting there, I pick them up and look at them, I loved them, than I look at the price and they were 39.99 and than I look the size............ Not my size.....but you know WHAT?  I bought them anyways. They are only one size to small for me. I am determined to wear them on Christmas eve. So I would like to loose 15 pounds and fit into my new jeans by Christmas. I know I can do it. One of my Best Friends, just got married this summer, and she kinda did the same thing, it wasn't just one size that she had to loose to fit into her wedding dress, but she did it, she bought the dress anyways, bc she was in love with it. And needless to say she fit into her dress amazing and she was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. She gives me so much hope, in my weight lost battle , she is always there for me and always talks me through my battles when I need her! She is the best!

 Sunday.... W and I went out for breakfast with another one of my best friends and her son S, after breakfast we went to visit M at the fire hall. K & S came with us. The boys had a ball, I think they explored every single firetruck they had! It was lots of fun. We than went for a nice fall walk. After K&S went home and I put W down for a nap, and clean the house and got supper ready for my family who was coming over for Thanksgiving supper. I just want to say THANK YOU again for my mommy she is the best in the world without her I would be a nervous wreck. My in laws came over too, and well it didn't go over so well with them. I would have to write a whole other blog on my relationship with my in laws, I will just say its different.
Monday.

This morning we all got up together as a family ( normally we take turns sleeping in, I sleep in on Saturdays and M sleeps in on Sundays) Today we all got up and watch Mickey Mouse Club House.

After our morning lounge watching one of W's favorite shows we decide to go for walk to visit my grandma. It was nice since she doesn't get to see W very much anymore.

Tonight I will be going to my Dad and Brother's for more turkey!

Can't wait for Wednesday when i can go back to the gym and work off all this turkey. I would love to go tomorrow to the gym, but we have a friend of mine coming to look at our house. So hopping his going to buy it, so we can start looking at a new one for us.

Here are a few pics of W and S at the fire station

Ouch!!!!

2nd Night of going to the gym!
    So tonight after supper I decided that I would head out to the gym for my second workout! I really wanted to go last night but I couldn't because I had a staff meeting at work. I was very sad about it! But tonight I was so excited to get back out there and work my butt off. I have only been doing cardio because I am not sure how to work the other machine which I am hoping to learn when the personal trainer comes on Saturday and Tuesday! But I will be doing sit ups before I hit the shower.
So when I got home W was watch the backyardigins, he look at me and ran to my arms when I walk through door. So glad that I was miss. But Matt said he was ready for bed, so I went up and brought him up to bed! I could barely walk up the stairs my legs were so sore. I guess that is a good sign that I am working hard! But OUCH!
I am still finding it hard thought to find time to spend time with him and fit everything else in.
For example:
 W and I get home around 4:30, I cuddle and play and do whatever he wants for a 1/2 hour before i start supper. Than around 5:30 5:45 M comes home and we eat supper. around 6:15 I get ready to head to the gym, while M and W have Daddy and Baby time. Clean up, bath time etc. And than when i come its bed time.  But than I had to be home by 7 tonight because M had a fire meeting! So 6:30 was my only time i could workout!
Just wondering how everyone else fits in all there time. And how long you think I should be working out for!?

I did IT.....I finally did IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!! I have never been so proud of myself. I join the gym. I was talking to M tonight about how after supper I wanted to go for a walk. He said ya sure. But than when I told him where I wanted to go for my walk, he turned me down, he said   " babe why i don't i watch W and you go for a walk, you need it and would love the time alone" While I was thinking it would be nice family time! So off i ran upstairs to get my walking gear on and off I went. While i was walking I notice the new gym in town was open. So i thought I would stop in and see what it was all about and what they offered, well make a long story short I sign up and started working out tonight! I felt awesome, and on my way home i even jog! Its amazing!!!. When i got home i was telling Matt what i had did, and he was like WOW Babe you sound like a little girl on Christmas! And to be honest that i how i feel. I feel like i just got the best present ever!  And to be honest it is! Its a present to myself to stay healthy and live longer and be happy about myself. So my blogs from here on in are about ME! And how Happy I am going to be with my new self!

This is my BEFORE Picture of me

I was thinking of posting pictures every time I hit my goal!

My first my goal is 15 pounds lighter!

WISH ME LUCK
