and another one bites the dust...

26...it was a great year! I started my weight loss and running journey and did things I never thought that I could. Then end of November I found out I was expecting again and here in a few short weeks I will have another beautiful baby boy in my arms. If you can't tell I'm really excited! I know it will be hard and I've talked about how stressed I am about having two kiddos but seriously it is such an amazing blessing and the lack of sleep won't last too long. Only like 15 more years until I get a full nights sleep right? ;)

 

Anyway, another year has "bit the dust" and although it was a good year I am so ready for the big 2-7. I have a lot of goals and I thought I would share them here.

• STOP STRESSING - This is a biggie. I am such an OCD/Control Freak if one little thing doesn't go according to plan I am a full on nut case. I really feel bad for the hubs some days. Especially when I have baby # 2 I need to just relax and realize the house IS NOT going to be clean and we will eat off paper plates and maybe not get dressed some days...k? K!
• Love myself more - This is a hard one. I am so hard on myself its ridiculous. I need to be more positive about my appearance instead of bashing the skin I'm in. I'm creating a life of course I'm going to gain weight. My body is going to be flabby after but look at what we've made? This baby is more than worth it. And I will put in the work to get my body back. (Another post on self image on a later date).
• Breastfeed for 6 months (or more) - Whether its nursing or pumping this little one is getting natures finest. I gave up too easily last time and I regret it.
• Hunter/Mommy time- Make sure Hunter gets alone time with his Mommy every single day, (I think I need this more than him haha).
• Run not one but TWO half marathons- pretty self explanatory
• Lift HEAVY - Put my muscles to the test and lift those bitches weights.
• Treat my body with respect and stop eating all this bad stuff I've been enjoying my last month of pregnancy - lay off the ice cream/blizzards/chocolate covered cinnamon bears!
• Be amazingly in shape for my ten year renunion next summer (2014) - I can't wait.
• Go SKY DIVING for my 28th birthday. - one of my friends did it this year and I was so jealous I couldn't partake *cough*Julia*cough*
• Show before after pictures on this blog (2 days after birth then 6 weeks then go increments of 10-15 lbs lost)- Yes I know your excited!

These are all going to take a lot of will power. But I proved to myself this past year that I have the dedication to do it. I am so thankful I have all of you to share this new and upcoming journey with me and make my 27th a crazy/fabulous year!

 

 

yeah i'm never going to stop planning...

And Summer begins...

I love summer.

Especially since I'm done working.

Done being stressed out and not having time to do the things I love...like writing and working out! I'm so excited to have time to blog again you don't even know!!

I really could have had time to workout but this pregnancy has had me drop dead tired by the time I had gotten off work I just wanted to pick up my little guy and go home. Now I will be headed to the gym every day around 9 am. I'm just going to be doing lighter workouts since I'm 30 weeks and out of shape but it will do.

I CAN'T wait to run again. I'm contemplating signing up for a half in November. That would only give me about 2 months post baby to train (after a 4 week break). So I'm a little unsure. I'm leaning towards going for it, it will give me good motivation and if I have to walk a little (or a lot) who cares?? At least I had the balls to try.

Today was the first day of summer break. The little guy and I headed to the zoo. It was sprinkling but we still had a blast! We saw tons of exotic creatures including a moose, mountain sheep, mule deer and coyotes bahaha. But Hunter thought it was cool so that's all that matters. We were pretty much the only people there, and we got an awesome view of the grizzly bear taking a nap right in front of the glass score! I got an ass kicking work out. This zoo is seriously ALL (not really but a majority) of it UPHILL. I was huffing and puffing and Braxton hicksing (false contractions) it the whole time!!

We had to bring Pirate Jake along of course

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. The little guy and I headed up to my parents and had a blast. He ate about 13 chocolate ice cream cones and covered every outfit I brought with chocolate, boogers and sun screen grease....

 

Also, here's a picture of the belly at just under 30 weeks. I'm 30 weeks 2 days now!

Anyway, expect another post on Friday this week (or earlier!) I'm pumped!!

So how was your Memorial Day weekend?

Would you sign up for a half a few months post partum?
