I'm back...I think! =)

Hey ya'll! So it's been a really long time since I last posted. Sorry....=)

Right now I don't have a plan set in place to re-start my "healthy living" attempts, but I thought I would at least post the progress since my last post.

I'm now weighing in at 125. It's been really exciting to pull on jeans that haven't fit for 2 years!

Though I'm at a happy weight, my body isn't at exactly a happy place. I would never ever trade in my boys for a perfect body, but pregnancy has really done a number on my body. I hope that a bit of exercise will help - but I know that I just need to learn to be happy with my post-pregnancy body...because it's here to stay...short of plastic surgery...which I can't afford! =)

So I'm learning that I just need to wear/buy clothes that work to my benefit - and get rid of past clothes that I love, but will never be able to wear again...because my body shape is WAY different than it used to be.

So, a brief overview of where I'm at right now: I'm happy! I really am. There is still work to do, but I'm happy.

Hopefully I can post on a more frequent schedule...but I gotta run for now...Luke is calling for me and Will just woke up screaming from his nap... =)

Girl, you are doing SOOOOO fabulous!!! I am so proud of you that in the midst of all the changes in your life you still managed to drop those pounds! I cannot imagine what you go through emotionally after sacrificing your body to childbirth, but the happiness that you feel will help that little bit of "bittersweet sadness for days gone by" to pass......You are just in a new phase of life and that's a good thing.....I am just so proud of you and cannot wait to hear more about your future plans for healthy living!!

Hey, also, like I asked of Cherry, when you have time I'd love to hear your secrets of success!! (except don't say that breastfeeding helped you loose weight because I can't do that!!! haha....)It's nice to share your accomplishments and then have a chance to share some of the wisdom you have gleaned......I am so honored to know you!!!
