Let the Countdown Begin

Today, we booked our May vacation to Orlando!! Wooohooo!!! I can not wait! We will be down there a week before Princess' 1st birthday and for my first Mother's day! We are planning to do a day at Magic Kingdom and that will be really special because the last time we went to Magic Kingdom was our 3 year anniversay and the day we found out we were pregauant. My husband family also lives down there so they will get to meet Princess' for the first time. We are so excited and can not wait to be going on our first family vacation... 2 month, 2 weeks and 1 day until Vacation.

Happy Valentine's Day

Today was a great day. I just enjoyed my day with my princess. Hubbie brought us home Chinese for dinner and it was so yummy!!! He got me a Godiva Bear with Chocolates and Godiva chocolate truffles!! He also surprised me by bring princess a bear and key toy. We had already got her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Minnie's Masquerade and a card! She loved all the love she recieved! Her grandparents, my inlaws, came over with a dancing minnie mouse its adorable and it was very nice and sweet of them! Hope everyone else had such a great day as well!

Cha-Cha-Changes

I am making a new blog here shortly to be my weight loss blog. I am doing my best and hardest effort to really do what I need to in order to lose weight. On My Weigh to Disney (New Blog)

I will be keeping this page for just my general everyday blog, as soon as I make my new blog I will post the new address.

There are also other changes happening in my household. Right now we are trying to finish our front yard project and closet projects that we started before we had our princess! My husband is really liking the changes at his work. He is working a lot more but its good thing because it is what allows me to stay home.

Monthly goal and a weekly goal

This monthly goal goes along with Weight Loss! I am going to do it! I found a exercise/diet plan that I think will be GREAT for me! I am going to stick to it and I'm going to lose weight! I am very very determined this time! It is only a 12 week program so if I can stick to this one it should be an easy transition when I am through to maintain a healthier lifestyle! I have joined a Calorie Counter website and that is part of the diet part knowing what I am eating and how much I should be eating should help me lose weight! I will know be accountable for what I am eating so no more unhealthy snacking and more veggies and fruit as snack and with meals!

Alright so my monthly goal ~ Stick to the Program!

Again its part of the weight loss! I am horrible with sodas, I think it was because I was not allowed soda when I was little so now I always want it! The thing is I know I cant just cold turkey cut off soda (although I did when I was prego, well all caffeinated ones) so little by little I will completely cut it out except on a few occasions!

Weekly Goal ~ Only one 12 oz soda a day and drink more water!

My last weekly and monthly goal update ~ I did awesome with the signing and am still doing it! Woohoo!! However the finishing of the book never happened but I am OK with that.

Weekend Getaway makes for a Busy Week

Im excited for this coming this weekend. We are going to my cousin J's baby shower. Im really excited for her! She is having a baby boy and its her and her husband's first. Her and I are really close, we are only a day apart and we got married within 3 months of each other. Her shower is in West Va where the rest of our family(Dads side) lives. They have not met Princess yet which makes it even more exciting. We are leaving friday after husband gets off work and will come home sometime Sunday afternoon. My Sis3 and her daughter are riding with us. My Sis2, her daughters, Mom and Dad are also going but driving seperate. Thankfully we all have family to stay with so free room and board. We, my mom and sisters, got my cousin her bedding as a joint gift. All of this makes for a very busy week. I am one of those people who likes to come home to a clean house. So, by tomorrow evening I want the whole house to be clean because we arent sure what time we will be leaving friday. We also need to be packed because Im packing the car before my husband get home, so he can come home change and us get on the road fast. Today I have already done 6 loads of laundry(washed, dried, folded, and put away) to make sure everything is clean that we could possibly need. I also need to check the weather so that princess has warm enough clothes. This is the second weekend trip we have taken with princess so I really hope I dont forget anything and that she does well. It is also a trip through the mountains so I hope she does alright with that as well. Busy Busy week. I need to make a list. Well just wanted to blog about my excitement.

8 months

Today, Princess is 8 months old!!!! YAY!!!! On top of that in 8 months my husband and I will be married for 5 years! It seems like I planned it but God gave her to me at the PERFECT time! God really does work in mysterious ways. He has truly blessed me in many ways. I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful baby girl and amazing friends! 

Weight Control

One of my very best friends and I had a conversation last night. We are both trying to lose weight, both us have had babies within just over a year. Its such a struggle for me because I was one of the skinny girls in high school and the little time I went to college. I ate a little better than I do and I was definately more active. I started putting on the weight after I got married.
Me on my wedding day:

Me now:

I do not feel good about myself at all. I am not open about it at all either. This is my first time ever ever admitting other to my husband or one best friend that I am stating how I hate what I see when I look in the mirror. Recently my husband has been calling me a "Fat a$$" and I hate that so much, I wanna look good for him. But the biggest main reason I wanna lose a few pounds and live healthier is:

I want to do it for princess!! I want her to never be embarrased by my apperance.
