So many changes...

Life has been quite full in the few months 10 months since I last wrote! I've started a new adventure and can't wait to tell you about it. Look for more updates what's happening! :) Can't wait to share!

I've been MIA...

If you keep in touch with me regularly, you know that I've been feeling pretty terrible for the last several months. Well, I've finally got a diagnosis, am on medication and I'm on my way to feeling normal again! This means things can go back to normal again:

1. I have the mental capacities to think about and plan meals! Yay! For the last several months I've been thinking through this incredible fog. It's really difficult to describe except that I had a hard time concentrating and even had a hard time coming up with the right words at the right time. It was incredibly frustrating! The goodnews...I can THINK again!
2. I have more energy! This means I can clean the house, go for walks with Mike and Bella, do some regular organizing (checking things off my to-do list) and dare I say...even exercise!!

So...be looking for more of me on here again! :)

Week 5

Super Bowl Sunday...you are a ruiner of all diets! :)

Just kidding! I did pretty well during our party...but the soda got the best of me. I simply cannot have soda (particularly Coca Cola) in my house and not drink it.

It calls to me...

I am delicious...

Drink me...

And so I did! Which might be the reason for my limited weight loss this week!

I lost .4 lbs for a total of 6.6lbs...gone forever!

...hooray...in the right direction...blah blah blah...it's not enough! This week will be better. There will be no soda!

Coca Cola, though you are one of my favorites, you must go away, now! Never to return!

On to a new week...soda free!!!

***a disclaimer for my northern friends***
I am deeply sorry for my use of the word 'soda'. I know it is offensive, but I now live in the south, where they say 'soda'. Please know that in my heart, I am still a 'pop' girl, through and through! :)

Bella at 6 months old

I have neglected to share pictures of Bella in a while...here are a few cute ones:

This is a cute one at Christmas. She loooooves paper!

Another at Christmas time. Outside playing in the snow. So fun!

Bella on her 6 month birthday! She got a little face trim!



This is my absolute favorite! She loves to stick her butt up in the air while she's chewing!

So cute!



A weekend of organization!

I spent this past Friday evening and Saturday cleaning and organizing. There were a few things that never got fully unpacked in our laundry 'closet' and so it just kept getting piled higher and higher with...well...junk.

Because Bella is driving me bananas...I'll simply post the before and after pics and let them speak for themselves!

I'm feeling so much better about doing laundry! :)

Week 4

It's been an interesting week. There have been some really great days and some really...not so great days!

But over all, I think it was a pretty successful week because...

I lost 2.2 lbs!!!

For a grand total of 6.2lbs! Woo hoo!!!

Not quite where I wanted to be for the month of January, but not too bad either!

Week 3

This week has been a challenging one for many reasons. So...here's the scoop...

I'm up .4 lbs this week, for a total loss of 4lbs.

I'm ok with this, but I'm resolved to make a change for this week. More fruits and veggies here I come! :)
