Shoo- wee!!

Mookies favorite thing is to have stinky feet. She puts her feet up to every body's nose and waits for the gags and acts of disgust. I think AJ's response at smelling her sock was the best. He threw it down so fast, crinkled up his nose and about faced immediately to escape the horror. He's one and a half- so you know it's bad.

Also working out still sucks. I'm thinking I want some time to do easier workouts, but dang, I like having muscles too much.

WHA WHAT!!

I am bending over to kiss Jillian's feet today. I would also like to knock her in the face, but mostly just kiss her feet because all the pain and agony is worth it when you get on the scale and hit 136!! A pound away from my goal. I have not been this low in...a while. And, I did it without having daily panic attacks about food. I ate and I melted my face off 5 times a week with Jillian's workouts. They suck, but for the first time in my life I have arm and back muscles which is pretty awesome. Also, having babies messes yo' body up- before at 135 I felt super skinny, now I still feel like I have a belly that needs to go! (and I don't think that 1 lb is going to completely get rid of it) Oh well...today I am celebrating!!! I want to buy new clothes, but I want a new house more sooooo I'll just shop and try on just to scratch the itch.

that dang belly.

After an hour of hardcore jillian.

Our few quiet moments

In the evening Jeebs and I have a few small moments of peace and quiet. We take advantage of it by watching stupid tv shows (dance moms woohoo) and I chew gum that loses flavor in 5 seconds so I stick it on my nose or make a breathe right strip for Jeebs.

Jump for joy spring break!!

We went to airborne to jump for a while over spring break. My neighbor took the kids one day and they had a blast so we thought we'd go again. Pictures are hard to take when everybody is in the move, but I did my best. I even jumped and only wet my pants a little. It's so fun being a grown up that has pushed 4 watermelons from your loins.

This is where I try not to get discouraged

I knew it was going to happen. I just had that feeling all week, but I have for the last several weeks and it hasn't happened...until today. I GAINED almost a half pound. Yes, I stuck with my diet, yes I upped my workout level to hardcore and did every stinkin' exercise. And yet, there it was...a gain on the scale. BAHHHH!! I am soooo close. Last week if I stood right on my non-digital scale I was in the 130's!!! (and yes I know how insane that sounds) This week clearly straight up 140. ARgh. I blame Easter. Easter was ham, bread and a crap-ton of cadbury mini eggs and dark chocolate. I thought I would be okay since I was perfect every other day.

I am really excited with how far I've come and with how quickly, but this is another thing that bothers me. See that shirt I"m wearing?? It's a size XL. An XL. It did fit quite a bit more snug last summer, but still, I can wear the dang thing and it's an XL!!! After all that weight, my upper body is still like a line-backer. I did go running today, but got up too late and could only squeeze in just under 3 miles before conference. Blah again. I just want those last 5 pounds gone! Come on body, you can do this.

 

Also- I realize I'm only 5'3 and I should probably be shooting for 125 or 115, but I don't know if that will happen in this lifetime for me, especially hitting a plateau at 140. I'm telling myself I'm not going to get discouraged until I am this same weight for at least 2 more weeks. OHHH why do people have to eat anyway??

Guns

Yup- arrest me- I got guns!!! Thank you jillian. My arms are getting muscles! Woohoo! Just ask my brothers, I have never had muscles. I keep flexing for Jeebs. If you can't brag to your husband though- who can you brag to? I'm tired of being sore, but having muscles you can see is pretty cool!

Mookie says "Happy Easterzz!"

Oh my- I enjoyed way too many Cadbury mini eggs. But, Easter comes but once a year right?
