Happy Birthday Big Dog!!!

Huddy, Jay and I love you very much!!!

Greece is the word!

Confession:  I am a blog stalker. (As are many of you!) My mom & sis are as bad as me--if not worse.

Now that that's out of the way, I can tell you that 2 of the blogs we're obsessed with are Darby's & Erika's--twin sisters who are just so. dang. cool. For their 30th birthday they went to Italy.

That got Linds and I thinking....we may not be twins, but we're as-close-as-you-can-get-sisters, and we should go on a trip together for one of our 30th birthdays! And since mine is closer (less than 3 years away!) it gave us a good excuse to start dreaming...so....

Greece...here we come!!! (In our minds, anyway!)

P.S. So sorry I've been MIA....I'm back, I promise!! :) xoxo

Weigh-In Wednesday + Hudson @ 2 Months

Since I'll be keeping track of my healthy eating, exercising, and weight loss on here, I decided Hump Day would make for a nice update-day. (Why? Because it's the middle of the week, rather than the beginning or end, and because of the alliteration! I am an English teacher, afterall!)

Drum roll please....

Week 1 Total Weight Loss = 2.5 lbs.(!!!)

And now for the honesty. Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred is hard! So hard in fact, that I've only been doing it every other day. On the off days I've walked or done push-ups, crunches, and stretched. I just don't have the endurance that I used to. I'm really hoping to build that back up!

And for the good stuff....

Yesterday was Huddy's 2 month Birthday! And he was such a trooper with my silly pictures. :)

Hudson:

How old?: 2 months

Weight?: 11lbs. 7oz.

Length: 23"

Size clothes: Mostly 0-3 months...he can still fit into a few newborns and has worn a couple 3-6 mos., but they're a little big!
Movement: He absolutely loves to stand on our laps while we hold him under his arms and look all around. He also loves looking in mirrors. (I would too if I looked like him!)

Me:

Stretch marks?: Yep. Using Mederma to try and get rid of them. Good news is that my belly button is starting to look more normal and my linea nigra has faded significantly!

Sleep?: We're going to drop the middle of the night feeding this weekend...wish us luck!!!
Weight loss: 22.5 lbs. Jillian is kicking my butt!

What I'm looking forward to: Going to the beach with the Hudster and Hubby's fam in July!

Best moment of the month: I'm turning my worst moment of the month into the best...comforting my son (or him comforting me!) after his 2-month-old shots.

Weight Loss Goal

You voted...and my weight loss goal is....

Lose up to 2 lbs. a week!!!

And the good news is that I've already met this week's goal! I got on the scale yesterday just to see where I was at and I'd already lost 2 lbs. :) Jillian Michaels is doing her job!! She's kicking my butt, but if it works, I'm all for it.

I'll keep you updated!
