May I Update?

I'm an under 140! Who would have thought?? I'm in my 6th week of c25k and still going strong. I had a short stand-still due to the tornado outbreak/power outage. I didn't like the idea of not being able to shower after running for any amount of time. Our family is safe and even though my sis-in-law lost her house she is doing well.

The tornadoes happened right before D's birthday weekend but we still had a mini celebration and we were together. So all in all it was good. (He blew out a flashlight that evening. Lol.)

I can't believe I have a 2 year old.. where did he come from? Some days I'm amazed by him and other days I wonder if I can give him back. I guess that comes with the territory of having the attempting to be independent/persistent two year old tornado of a little boy.

N is doing fantastically! She is such a bright light to my day. She smiles and her whole face lights up. She's sitting up now and grabbing at everything. She loves my hair.. =P

I had my ww leader sign my goal weight of 130. I still want to be less and I'm not sure about doing maintenance while nursing. I think it would mess me up later when I lose all of my extra points. I guess I'll just see how I feel when I get there. I almost feel like I've lost too fast.. like I can't believe that it's really working. I still eat some crap and yet I still lose about a pound a week. Sometimes I gain it back but then lose 2 the next week. I'm sure it's going to stall as I get even closer to goal. Another thing to note, even though I'm my pre-weight for N, my body is not like it was before. My stomach is way soft and flabby.. ewww. I try and remind myself that I was 11 months out from D's birth so I still have 5 more months until I'm at the same stage. There's still hope!

I'm so ready to be out of this house. We're too much family for this space. D is everywhere and I can only imagine what it will be like when N is older. I'm working on getting rid of all my crap =) I'm thinking about rewarding myself with each set of junk I get rid off. Kind of like my weight loss goals. Example, I have my prom dress, all my bridesmaid's dresses from every wedding I was in and homecoming dresses. If I get rid of them I can get a nice garment bag for my quality pieces such as suit jackets, dresses for special occasions, etc. If I get rid of my 2-3 year collection of seventeen magazine from the 90's then I can get a new bookshelf in a style that will go with my dream living room. What do ya'll think?

Well, that's my update for now. Thanks for checking back =)
