Projects... Hats

I have made a few hats. I have been selling them to bring in some extra income. If anyone ever wants the patterns or wants to learn I'll be more than willing to help out.

So far my collection includes:

Refresh and Renew

So I am going to start using my blog for my crocheting projests along with everything else that goes on in my life.

I just downloaded a app called Ease into 5k and I am really excited to start it. It helps get someone to learn how to jog/run. I really need to become active and start a nightly routine.  Starting something is always hard but once you get used to it, it become part of your day. It's that first week or two that always kills ya.

Working Out

I think I may go to the local gym and sign up. I need to get out of this house and workout. Have some ME time.

Starting my diet has proved to be VERY hard. I really need to get away from these carbs. But last night there I was making chocolate chip cookies. I have no willpower. I need help. HELP!!!

Family

Is it exciting to know that your family is complete? I think so. It is such a relief to know that I will never be pregnant again. I love my children but pregnancy wasn't easy for me. Knowing that it is just the four of us is wonderful. My children are close enough in age where they will go to school together and be 2 grades apart. They will grow up with each other and I love that thought.

I keep hitting points in life and saying to myself "I will never have to do that again." I can't wait for the big things in life. Everything is still so new but I really look forward to so much. Like the Disney trips, the first day of school, and first sleepovers. I love memories it is all we have. I really try and take as many pictures and videos as possible. Because after this it's all we have.

Tops Run

Had an amazing Tops run tonight. I saved 66 dollars in bonus card and coupons. I think its one of my better grocery shopping runs!! I have to say I really like triciasfrualfinds.com and couponsforyourfamily.com.

Big step starting next week..... I am going to start weaning myself off the white bread and sugars. Pregnancy really spoiled me.

25 Pounds to my first goal. Then another 25. If I can lose 75 I would be happy. But will be happy with 50. I have been chowing on easter chocolate all week.... I may actually need to lose more than I think LOL

Anybody have any luck with the south beach diet or have any pointers on on a type of cardio I can do because breastfeeding seems to get in the way of a lot of them. I am thinking walking may be the only one

Same weight

Well I have not lost anymore weight but I also have not been sticking to my diet very well. My lil peanut has not been very good at spending time by herself, so I have not being moving a whole lot. But I did pull the moby wrap out today and I am not sure why I have not pulled it out sooner.

I have to say though we are eating a little healthier. After grocery shopping today I will but putting my meal plan together.

Down 26 Lbs

So from my last weight check at the obgyn which was 2 days before baby girl was born, I have lost 26 lbs. I am crazy happy! I am weighing less than I did before I got pregnant with my son. I attribute this to breastfeeding. I have been at a stand still for the last week though. So I need to start eating more healthy and step up my water intake. I feel like I'm forcing myself to drink water. Anybody have any pointers on how to make water more fun?

ok .. back on the wagon

I am officially back to 100%! Baby girl was born on jan 13th. I am happy to report I have lost a total of 19 lbs since having her. So I will start my weight loss count down in my next post. I am excited to get back to this. I have been doing my couponing and have been trying to do my meal planning. I will attempt to post weight loss as it comes. I am going to see if i can find a widget for it too. I am so excited to get back to this! I was really looking forward to it. Year 2012 will be bringing me many good things... I can feel it!!!

I am the worst blogger ever

Not only do I NOT keep up with my blog, but i don't even try to get more people to follow to make it more interesting.

I keep telling myself that when the baby comes and I get back on my diet and start losing weight and have something good to blog about it will get better... but will it? Who the hell wants to follow someone's blog about their middle to low class life,  about kids and being fat with a small hint of movies and couponing... Well maybe at some point in my life i can look back at my fatass and say "hey good thing i had that blog to help me through."

Only 5-7 more weeks and this pregnancy will be over... and I cannnnnnnot wait!!!!!

Well were talking about watching an old movie tonight and maybe eating banana sundaes.  Any recommendations?

So still crocheting my little heart out.....

I have finished 5 of my 8 scarves. I want to take a smidge of a break to make a baby hat for the baby. I found this awesome site with patterns. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/30-minute-baby-hat this is the pattern I am working on right now. It's super cute and easy!! Or at least I hope it is. I will post some pictures when I am done. I think I am going to post some pictures of these awesome scarves I made too... especially the kids ones. They came out amazing. 

I will be back tomorrow I hope. I feel like I am neglecting this poor blog. I know it will be in full gear after I have the baby. I will officially be back on my diet and will breast-feeding so hopefully I drop the pounds pretty quick. 

Well if anybody has some nice patterns for newborn hats lemme know. I am a crochet machine.
