Well i figured i better give an uPdAtE on my weight loss journey.. I started my "new lifestyle" back in August after stopping weight watchers and trying to figure this being healthy thing out on my own.. Since the end of August i have lost another 15 pounds so i am down 30 pounds pre pregnancy and 45 pounds down from pregnancy weight. I have dropped 3 pant sizes and fitting into shirts/jackets SOOO much cuter/and better then ever before.. I look at pictures of me and think to myself "WHY WHY WHY did i ever let me self get that big"!! From my wedding days until i got pregnant with brynlee i honestly think i just let myself go.Sad to admit it but i really think i felt comfortable with my life and just did what i wanted.. Now i know the importance of being healthy.. One it makes you feel so much more energized. Two you feel SOOO good about yourself, and helping motivate people feels so good too. And three, i can't wait to be healthy and active with brynlee so she doesn't ever have to struggle with her weight and we can be a healthy active family!! To reach my goal weight i need to loose 18 more pounds. This is the weight i was at when i was on the Drill team and i can say i was actually pretty comforable at that weight.. i could definatly loose more then that, but that is my goal! i would LOVE LOVE to be pretty dang close to that weight by our disneyland trip (feb 6)
So we shall see..
The holidays have definatly been harder, but i made a goal, if i splurge or go out to eat i have to exersise twice that week. and so far so good.. this week was horrible, i gained 3 pounds, so i did 2 or 3 times of exersise a day and i ended up loosing 6 pounds in 7 days.. It's all about dedication!! Can't wait to post in a couple more months and hopefully i'm CLOSE to my goal weight =)

ThAnKsGiViNg ( day 7 )

Today i'm thankful for life,to be alive and healthy with a healthy family..


Hope everyone had a HaPpY HapPy Thanksgiving.. Our's turned our wonderful and we all pigged out =)

We headed to Bradon's grandparents for his side of the families thanksgiving around 10:30 a.m.
Brynlee walked and played with everyone.. She loves to be on the move now and it's just to dang cute!! Bradon's cousin just had a baby 5 months after brynlee and he's just the cutest little guy! He is 5 months and weigh's almost 18 pounds, how cute is that!!

We had a very yummy dinner and brynlee enjoyed her's ALOT too.. it was so cute watching her feed herself and just eat everything that was given to her. She was a messy little marvin after and we had to go put her under the sink =)

After the fun there we headed to my parents house around 3:30 ish for another yummy thanksgiving. This year it was just my sister amber and her family and my family and then mom and dad. It was a good dinner and we we're definatly stuffed. Thanks mom and dad =)

After dinner i convinced my mom and amber to go black friday shopping with bradon and i to atleast walmart this year since they opened at 10.. My mom had brynlee sleep over with grandpa while we all went out.. It was the CrAzIeSt i have EVER seen it, and i've gone out the last 4 years straight.. i think with all the stores opening WAY earlier ALOT more people are going out, which kinda sucks..

After wal-marts craziness we went to my mom's house, ate more pies =) and just hung out till target opened at midnight.. Target was a complete JOKE!! we went to the one in jordan landing and the line wrapped around the store and they we're letting like 10 people in every 5 minutes.. So we left and went to the redwood one and got right in, got what we wanted then found out it was an hour and a half wait to get rang up.. haha no thanks, so we HiD our stuff and went home to go to bed.. Bradon and i we're going to get up at 3:30 a.m to go to sears to get a T.v. we wanted but when our alarm went off we both just looked at eachother and said not this year.. =) haha

we woke up at 8 the next morning and went and picked up our sweet little princess from grammy and grandpys and headed off for losts of unfinished shopping.. We went to walmart, best buy,target,michaels,rcwilley,macys,jcpennys,bath and body works,and even some online shopping.. We definatly got lots and lots of toys for brynlee , but everyone we showed her she would get SO excited for we had to get them all.. I love black friday and i always have, i'm so glad bradon does too. hehehaha.

We had a GREAT thanksgiving with our families and couldn't be more thankful for all that we have!!

*** pictures to come, our internet has been SOOO dumb lately, it loads and then logs off then loads ,logs off etc etc.. so picutres take forever and a night to download..

I am sooo thankful to be able to have babies.. I have heard SOOO many people lately that can't have anymore babies or can't have a baby period.. I was one of the lucky few that only took 1 month to get pregnant and have a VERY VERY easy pregnancy, and have a healthy baby.. I couldn't imagine not being able to have a child, cause it's the BIGGEST blessing god could bless anyone with! I thank him every second for blessing bradon and I with the best blessing EVER!!



If i could be pregnant for the rest of my life i would.. Haha call me crazy but i LOVED being pregnant!! Sometimes i think about being a surrogate. haha but really at the same time =)
