December is a busy month. I can't believe I haven't written since November 30th! I just wanted to come on and say that in my last entry I said I was down to 189.8lbs and now, after dieting and exercising for about 2 months now I'm 182.8lbs this morning. That means I've lost 19.5lbs in 2 months!! I'm so happy about that. I still want to get down to 155 but having it come off steadily like this is really encouraging. The crazy part is that besides keeping my calories close to 1800 a day all I've been doing is my 30 day challenge of burpees, squats and planks. I actually just finished that 30 day challenge last night. I took about 5 days off total for days I was sick or whatever but at least I finished it. Yesterday, on the last day, I had to do 250 squats, a 5 minute plank (I fell and got up a ton of times, there's no way I can do a 5 minute plank) and 100 burpees. It was really hard. Next I'm doing another 30 day exercise challenge that has squats, push ups and leg lifts.
This morning after I get the kids packed up we are going to my moms for a few days which is super exciting because she's been in Florida for 2 months. We have so much fun going to her house and Cody absolutely loves seeing her and the change of scenery. She loves Florida and hates coming back to the cold but she can't wait to see her grandbabies. We're going to decorate her house for Christmas, bake and just hang out and have fun. It's going to be hard to stick to my 1800 calories while visiting but I'm going to try my hardest and eat small portions of whatever they make for meals. I hate when you eat at someones house and you have no idea how many calories a meal is so you have to guess.
Not sure how much time I have to write so I'll just ramble for a bit while Miles bats at his hangy toys on his mat. It's 6 something right now. Ew. Hate being up this early. Oh and by the way Miles is 4 months now and can finally hold his head up really well. Took him forever but I'm excited now because he can go in the jolly jumper now and the bumbo and he's just easier this way. He's also going through the 4 month sleep regression which means my baby who has only woken in the night 1 or 2 times since he was 6 weeks now wakes up about 5 times a night to feed and then wakes up for the day at 6am by screaming inconsolably for about 10 minutes. Such fun lol.
I'm super excited for Christmas because we got Cody a big train set that sits on a train table because we knew he loves trains. Right now he only has a small figure 8 train set from IKEA. Well, the other day we went to the mall and the toy store had a big train set on a train table which is something he has never seen before and he was so excited to play with it! I let him play for 30 minutes and then I literally had to drag him out of the store crying. Can't wait to see his face on Christmas morning when he comes down and sees his very own big train set. Yay! Oh and we took the kids to see Santa last night and Cody started crying and refused to sit on his lap or anywhere near him so we ended up with a cute picture of Miles smiling on Santa's lap lol. Oh well, maybe next year.
Looks like my time is up! I have a lot of people to catch up on on here. Yikes!
