walkin' mama

I don't know what hit me this weekend! I guess I needed to catch up with my sleep, BADLY. I am much better today. I didn't want to for my walk but did anyway. What made it worse was Emma didn't want to go either. As soon as we got rolling and she turned her Leapster on, we were good to go. It was HOT out. I mean H*O*T!! I am going to just start going to the gym from now on. The track is nice and air conditioned. You know that if the baby is sweaty and hot, it is bad. Her PegPerego stoller completely closes, all the way to the tray. Completely covered. It was THAT hot out. I was covered in sweat. I did lose a pound off of it though. SERIOUSLY! I now have five pounds to go until I hit my first goal. My goal time is my birthday, Nov 9th. I am absolutely sure I will get to it! Tom is fixin' to visit so I have some bloat going on anyway. I should be in the 220s in two weeks!! Shoot, I can have it by the end of next week if I really work!
I am very pumped to lose! I have been for about a month now. I have really worked hard. It started last year, Marchish. I was a whopping 258. I looked in an old journal and my highest was 260. Mind you, I am 5 foot 9 so it hides easier. I mean it isn't totally invisible by any means! The cool thing though is no matter how fat I had gotten to, I never had a big butt or super big legs. THANK YOU LORD FOR BLESSING ME WITH A SMALL BEHIND! He did make me a bit top heavy but nothing the military couldn't take care of. GO NAVY. I talked with a friend that went in and had it done. Once I get down to 200, I am so there! Once I am sure that I am not having anymore children, I am getting a tummy tuck. I have looked into it and it really isn't that expensive. Having my chest reduced is twice as much hence, GO NAVY! I have back pain, my bra indents my shoulders but they have shunk and inch so maybe I can get them down on my own. I have lost 1 1/2 inches on my waist, an inch on my arms........I feel so much slimmer! I am so going to lose all this baggage. I feel healthier! Now you know what will happen? I will get pregnant. I have this one covered actually. I only gained 20 with my last child. That is with little effort other than watching what I eat. If I continue to walk and keep active like I have, I should be good to go. When I keep active, it keeps the morning sickness down. The only thing that really worries me is my hip pain. I went through so much when I was pregnant with Emma. My hips would dislocate when I would roll over after sleeping on my side. If I do become pregnant, I plan on getting one of those Swedish posturpedic mattresses or a nice pillow top. We are due for a new mattress soon anyway. But then again, this is IF I get pregnant. The chances are slim to none. I would like to have one last child in like 2 0r 3 years.
Well, off to get my kids from school. Michael baby has baseball practice tonight. He is the bat boy for an AAU 12 and under team and will start is actual job of getting the bats and stuff. All the boys, including Michael, get their uniforms today plus Michael gets his helmet for his job. He LOVES getting to play with the big boys. He still has his side burns like his favorite baseball player, Joe Mauer. GO TWINS!!
