Hello 26 weeks!

8:03 PM

Forgive the poor picture quality!
Alright kids, we've made it to 26 weeks! Can you freaking believe it!? This growing belly...and baby of mine makes me smile on a daily basis! I love the little kicks, punches, and other such movements that I hear early in the morning and late at night before we go to sleep. It's become something that is a comfort to me to feel them, and I find myself waiting to feel the next little (or BIG) movement that he gives us! Oh yea, by the way, we're having a BOY! It's been far too long since I last posted. We're still very undecided in a name, but have a few front runners, and cannot wait until the little man joins us and we decide on a name for him!

This year I have hopes to keep everyone updated better and blog more...I know I said this last year, but I'm really hoping to keep up with it for our family that lives far away! 

Keep an eye out for better pictures and more updates!

Thus far

9:10 PM


So, we started this Dukan Diet about 5 weeks ago and I've lost 17 lbs...great! Right?! I need to be thankful for what I have lost so far, but I still have so much left it's really that it is hard to keep the big picture in sight. I want to lose about 50 more big LBS! I'm happy with the progress I've made so far for a whopping day, then quickly lose sight of that, and it is replaced with negative thoughts about how much I HAVEN'T lost...ugh!

To make matters worse, we're leaving for vacation in t-minus 13 days, and I am SO not ready. At least my body isn't ready yet! It's for sure going to be a one piece week at the beach! Hopefully the sunshine, downtime, and the hopeful tan that I will get will help how I feel. The week although relaxing, is going to be filled with lots of activity. Runs/walks on the beach, swimming, and bike rides. On a side note, it's our two year wedding anniversary down there and I cannot wait to celebrate two wonderful years with my husband.

Hopefully, I'll be officially over food poisoning by tomorrow and can get back to Couch 2 5K.

These Things Work (I think!)

6:48 PM

These are the New Balance Rock and Tone training shoes...my new love! So, I don't know if they really will increase weight loss by 10% like they claim, but they are seriously comfy, and my legs ache (in a good way!) after wearing them all day at work. They don't have that huge chunky heel like other "toning" shoes and basically look like typical NB trainers. I'd give these things an A+ for comfort and they seem to work the muscles well. Not to mention I avoided the normal $70+ price tag by picking these babies up at TJ Maxx for $29!!

These things work in my book ( I think)!

Exciting Things!

Well, I feel like a traitor, but I'm a Nittany Lion. I grew up right next to OSU, and have always been an OSU fan. However I just got into Penn State to go back to school, yay! At least I fit in with the PA fam a little now, but those Buckeye's will always have my heart!

In other news, I got a full time job! I was offered a full time supervisor position where I already work. I'm per diem there now, but have worked full time hours since I started in October. Now I actually will have benefits, vacation days, and other perks :)! Now to getting those school loans paid off, and eventually getting a house!
