Junk Gone & Labor Done

What a weekend! I started my weekend setting up all my junk for our yard sale that we did at my friend Crissy's house. I say junk because that was all I really had and I just wanted it to be gone. While I didn't get rid of that gigantic train table; I did manage to get rid of our old dining room table and chairs. Crissy did really well getting rid of all her stuff except for the clothes and shoes.

I put the leftovers curbside and within an hour all was gone but some toys, an OLD OLD TV, and some books.

I did go and look at some garage sales myself. I am in need of some 3T and 4T winter clothes for my "little guy". I found a few things and picked up a few books. He loves for us to read to him!

Yesterday I spent ALL day doing laundry. We cooked out on the grill with my sister and had a few drinks. Today I got a run in, I'm still wondering how well I'm going to do at the 5K in a few weeks since I have started to slack off. I finally finished the dishes and got some play time in with the "little guy" and got some fall decorations up. Even though it was labor day and I wished I was sitting around doing nothing I am very happy with what I have accomplished this weekend.

Weekly Weigh In

Sorry for the quick post, it's getting late and I have a garage sale to run the next few days.

Weight Loss: 0

I stayed the same! I should be thankful for that since I have indulged a little last weekend. We checked out the new local bar and we had a birthday party. I can't pass up the cake!

Last week's challenge was to track for 3 days. I DID! So, I guess this is the part where I take on the challenge again but add a day? I'm going to give it a try. We'll see how it goes!

Thursday Weigh In

Weight Loss: -0.4

Ok, so it isn't a pound but like I said before all those little weight losses add up to pounds.

Do you remember my challenge for the week? Do you think I did it?

Of course not! I have the hardest time tracking, I couldn't even do five days. My leader challenged our entire group to track for three days. I have no trouble tracking while I'm at work but once I leave I quit. Maybe it is because when I get home I'm hungry and open that big bag of pretzels and munch until dinner is done. Maybe I'm afraid to find out how many points I really am eating. MAYBE if I actually tracked I would lose a whole pound.

Alright, Mrs. M, I accept your challenge! I'm gonna give it my best shot!

I'll let you know how it goes.

Operation 'Let'sMakeABaby" Phase I

COMPLETE!

I had my doctor appointment this morning and took the first step to making this family addition a possibility. Now I get to start taking ginormous pills on a daily basis. Yeah Me!

Family Decision

About a month or so ago Tiger and I had made a big decision to add to our family. I called the doctor for a checkup and to get things rolling in the right direction. I go in on Thursday to have an outpatient procedure done so that we can make that decision come to life.

Tiger is overly excited! I on the other hand seem to be very calm and not excited at all. I'm wondering if my excitement will come later, as in when I take that little test and see that plus sign indicating that we have indeed created life. Could it be that I have plans for the week of September 13-19th? I want to run a 5K and if there is in fact a softball tournament I want to play! I know that I can run a 5K while expecting but I can't do any high impact sports.

I remember being pregnant with our "little guy" and recall having a good pregnancy. I ate anything I wanted, took plenty of naps, and had no morning sickness. I also recall the heartburn, water retention, and being as big as a house. I'm serious about the "big as a house" part, my "little guy" weighed in at 10 lbs. 6 oz. when he was born!

My hopes for my next pregnancy (I know I'm dreamin')

  • No water retention

  • No heartburn

  • No morning sickness

  • I only have one in there

  • It is as smart as the "little guy"

  • It is as well behaved as the "little guy"

  • I don't give birth to a toddler sized baby (The Princess always teased me about having a toddler during my first pregnancy.) 

  • I secretly would love another boy. I wanted a girl my first time but ended up with a boy and couldn't be happier with him.
 All kidding aside I know that I will be perfectly happy even if my hopes are just me dreamin!
