Hoo Are You...

Here are this week's questions!

1. What are some of your pet peeves?

2. Do you have a favorite or lucky number?

3. What is one of your family traditions?

4. Is there anything you are OC about?

5. What is your favorite kind of food?

Here are my answers! 

 1. What are some of your pet peeves?

Darn, I have a lot of pet peeves.  Here are a few... having to ask more than once for my child to do something he's been asked to do.  Putting away food that someone else got out and didn't put away.  Stepping in something wet on the kitchen tile floor.

 

2. Do you have a favorite or lucky number?

I've always liked the numbers 7 and 23.

 

3. What is one of your family traditions?

My family loves to go to Disneyland/Disney World together.  We try to go often or get season passes if we can afford it.

 

4. Is there anything you are OC about?

I'm trying to let go of a lot of my OC habits.  I'm not as crazy as I once was about say... folding towels.  If someone wants to help me fold towels I'm all for it.  I don't need the closet to look perfect :)

I do NEED to be the one to plan trips and pack for trips however.  I can't let go of that OC habit. Must be in charge ;)

 

5. What is your favorite kind of food?

Chocolate. Bread. Soup. The end.

Now it is your turn to play along!!!!

Here are the RULES!!
          Here's how it will work, each  Tuesday I'll post a few questions. They can be anything from What's your  favorite color to What's your favorite movie. 

• You will post them in a new post on  your blog (you can back date this post so it doesn't show up as your  newest post) and then come and link up that particular post (not the  link to your main blog) here on our link party

• Make sure to visit as many blogs as  you can and comment! It will be a good way to get to know some fun and  interesting things about your fellow crafters
  

Scariest Post Ever: Moms Into Fitness

Hold on to your seats...

... We are about to embark on the

Scariest Post Ever!

Okay. Maybe that was a little dramatic.

It's my own personal scariest post ever.

It's about.... weight loss.

Can we just girl talk for a minute?  I mean really talk.

First of all, I can't believe I'm about to post my own weight somewhere online. Seriously. I don't think even MoDaddy or my closest pals know how much I weigh.

There is something liberating about just talking about weight. So, here goes!

When I found out I was expecting baby #2  I weighed 181.  Not bad.  I'm 5'10 so that's a pretty 'healthy' weight.  But, I didn't feel FIT at 181. 

I felt flabby, run down and without a lot of energy.

When I had BabyMo 9 months ago I tipped the pregnancy scales on delivery day at a whopping 229.

And this was me at 34 weeks.  Just imagine what would have happened had I gone full term.  The pre-eclampsia had caused me to really puff up and retain a lot of water and weight.  After I was released from the hospital 10 days later I was back down to 190.  

I had lost 39 lbs in 10 days!
Wow, talk about baby weight loss


However, there is something really difficult about recovering from a c-section.  You moms who have been through it know what I'm talking about.  Your tummy just isn't the same. And your body knows something happened but it just doesn't 'bounce back' like normal.


I've had two emergency c-sections.

It's time to get serious.

This photo is my motivation right now:

My beautiful wedding ring :)
Except .... this is not my wedding ring.  This is a temporary ring I purchased from Avon because my real ring still won't fit on my finger.

I want to wear my own wedding ring :)

Here is how I'm going to do it...

 

Moms Into Fitness w/Lindsay Brin

I've teamed up with Lindsay Brin and I'm currently doing her 60 day Slim Down DVD set!

Goal Weight:  160 lbs
Starting Weight: 194.8

Week 1-2: weight loss -1 lb :)  193.8

I've been doing the Lindsay Brin 60 day Slim Down for 2 weeks now. I haven't had a structured plan but try to do it 3x a week. I've tried a few of her DVDs (there are 4 in the set) and I really like them!  She teaches you how to do each exercise and goes at a pace that feels normal.  There are 3 women in each of the boot camp series from beginner to advanced so you can watch the one who most closely represents where you are.

The best part is, Lindsay is a mom just like us!  She just had her third baby and is rockin' some serious Abs! She's been through it all and is super encouraging.

Here is one great tip from Lindsay's blog:

"Tip #3: Be real.  Set a goal.  Put the past behind you.  
Even if you gained 100 lbs in your pregnancy, put it behind you.  And work hard now.  Don't let excuses get in the way.  We are all super busy.  Excuses only hamper you, not the person you are giving excuses to."

I'll keep you posted on my weight loss FEELING FIT journey.
