Hayden is sleeping, thinking of perfectly warm bottles that are shaken, not stirred.
He awakes and realizes that it was all just a dream.
"Want to go to the park?"-mom
"heck yes"-hayden
"Look at this tree! *hug*"-Hayden
He tries the swings. And likes the feeling.
"Weeeeee"
Baby butt in swing.
Next he tries the drums.
He starts to get hungry
And falls victim to the natural need to feed.

Yes, you heard me right. Wipe that shocked expression off your face.
I gained a pound..
Damn those delicious thin mint girl scout cookies.
THREE POUNDS!
I lost another three pounds this week. Which is a shocker because i definitely fell victim of the powers of Super Taco and their queso.
I'm super happy.
You have no idea.
I can see my pelvic bones when i lay down the first time since my days in Estes Park.
Wouldn't it be awesome if i was able to win the weight loss challenge at work? The prize is almost my rent for a month.
4 pounds left until i reach my goal. If that happens, ill raise it to fifteen
It seems like its been a while since i posted pics of hayden, so here it goes!
this next one looks like i have one eye smaller than the other.. which i dont... right?... guys?o.O
I love this one for some reason. Yes, we were playing with this.The weigh in was today. Guess what. My total weight loss is... *drum roll*
3.2 lbs
in a week!
Im feeling motivated to run six miles this afternoon.
Just kidding.
But seriously, im proud of myself. :)
I lost my first pound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After calling and complaining to my mother every day after weighing in last tuesday with complaints such as "Clairissa already lost three pounds over night!" "How is it even possible for Ashley to lose five pounds in three days?!" "That had to be a big dump or somethign!", I have finally lost a pound.
sure, everyone else has lost more than that, but slow and steady wins the race, right? Its only been six days..
Ive been running and walking daily..
Im doing everything right..
...right?
Meh. I feel really good though. Not only do i feel better, im in a better mood. I dont go home feeling tired and crabby.
Ive been cooking daily too. AND ive enjoyed cooking. Im not cooking the same old stuff, ive been experiementing, which is always fun.
My office is doing the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge. The Prize? $300+. Im really excited about it. Ive been thinking and wanting to lose weight for a long time, but always shrugged it off and ate another oreo.
Im not doing anything drastic, i dont want to set my self up for failure by buying all low carb/sugarless food which i hate. Im starting off by getting rid of all the junk food. (Goodbye Oreo's, Peanut butter filled cookies and Dr. Pepper) Im going to cook every night so that there will be no more late trips to Wendy's. Im going to exercise and joing a gym.
Thats right, a gym.
Never in my life have a joined a gym or had the desire to do so. I always pictured skinny, rude, pretty girls in sports bras and hip hunging capris looking at my love handles,belly pooch, and flabby arms with disgust. I know they arent all like that(im sure some are) so im going to put my toe in the water and see how it feels. (thats an awesome metaphor, i know). Theres a place here in town thats open 24/7 which is nice because sometimes jerry works late and i wont be able to make it that afternoon, i can go early the next morning to make up for it. Leann from work said that theres no thick necked jocks or prissy girls.
I've also been running in the morning and walking with hayden in the afternoon. our first little walk ended up behind the apartment complex where theres a retirement home set up. A little old man saw hayden and just fell in love. hayden was laughing and smiling at him. The man just laughed and held haydens hand. it was really sweet. He told me next time we need a walking partner to go knock on his door.
Today was the weigh in. i weigh twenty pounds more than i did before i was pregnant. My goal: 10 lbs. I figure its a good number that i can accomplish without feeling like im so far away from reaching it. if i pass it, great!
Wish me luck
