No matter how many people tell me "wow, those pants are FALLING off you"... or "Wow, your hips looks smaller"... or "Sara, you have been loosing a TON of weight..."
They are all W R O N G.
I weigh approximately the same as I did the day I came home from the hospital with Hannah. & that isn't a pretty place to be.
So in order to get the scale to catch up with what my body is apparently telling people... We're ON. (oh, I don't see what everyone's talking about... I feel like I look pregnant when I look down... AND I AM NOT!).
Timmy wants to loose 60# between now & August 6th (which is totally achievable for him)... and I'd like to loose *something*! I hate giving myself a number, because, TO ME, it is just a number to fail. Seriously - if I say "I want to loose 5 pounds this week"... and loose 2... I say "Well, I failed my goal, so I might as well give up. Hand me those Oreos!" [mmmmmmm. Oreos]
No, that isn't mentally healthy or right - but it is me. Until I can change the way Sara Lou thinks... I'm going to say: "I want to loose something before Florida".
I'd love to loose 40#, but that is jinxing the whole thing. SHhhhhhhhhhh Don't tell me I said that.
How about this guideline: Between now & his birth, I want to loose as much weight as Cousin Carrie's Baby weighs (at birth). That is *on average* 7 1/2 pounds... and I have about 3 weeks to go. I'm PRETTY sure I can do it.
So. Now that this post is all about weight loss... Please - feel free to ask me how I'm doing!!
The loser this summer - I hope - is Hannah's Diaper Drawer. Crossing my fingers that she can be potty trained (mostly) before our trip in August... or at least before her 3rd Bday in September. She knows what's going on *down there*. She is just too stubborn to do anything about it. As long as it is HER idea... it will happen.
Off to watch some tv-shows... I mean... read the new book mom gave me... I mean... read my darling daughters some good night stories before tucking their precious heads into bed.

You can do it SLL! Just say no to Oreos!
I have complete and total confidence in you! We can do it together after my lil man comes! Mike even said something about wanting to lose his belly too. I guess it's going to be a family affair...I'm just hoping that breastfeeding gives me the edge! So far I have offically gained 11 pounds (most in the last 3 months or course) and am ready to be the same weight I started out as when I got pregnant(after lil man is born!). Not that I was happy with that number! :) When we bring lil man up to visit this summer we can maybe even try and "exercise" together! HAHA! :)
