It's a weight thing.

By -
I don't know why people have to be so nasty about weight. Sometimes I just want to say what is really on my mind to people when they make their "little" comments, but generally I just shrug it off. SO for any of you nosy people or snide ones, here is what the deal is.

I was following C25K at this link:
Cool Running.


BUT I got too good at running to follow that plan any longer.

My pre-pregnancy weight was 116. I currently weigh 134. I am trying to get back down to 125-130 ish. 125 would be optimal.

My jean size is an 8, but that is a bit roomy and sometimes I wear my size 6 jeans and I am comfortable in those. Most of my pants are a 5/6. Now I can get my big ole butt in those, but I'd rather lose the rest of my weight first.

I do my Pilates once or twice a week (I try to do more, but being a mom often gets in the way of that). I go to the gym once a day. I've been running mainly, but once the pool opens again, I will add swimming twice a week. The biggest thing lately is to cut down on portion sizes. That is proving to be the most difficult. I think it is the breastfeeding that makes me feel so hungry.

SO, if you have something negative to say about my weight, let me tell you, I run a 6:53 minute mile. You had better be able to keep up with me or you can take your negativity and shove it, well, you know where.

Gee, I wonder who you are talking about? I can make a guess, but might me wrong. :-)

I think you are doing great and am HIGHLY jealous of your workouts! I can barely function enough some days to get dressed!

You GO Girl!

You look wonderful and anyone making those kind of comments should ba ashamed of themselves. I would love to be able to work out like you do, consider yourself fortunate. I have a bike thing that I could ride if I wasn't on here right now (hahaha!) but the nearest gym is about half an hour and not free at that! Sometimes I do miss the military... I have lost 29 pounds since Jacob was born and I want to lose 15 more. Breastfeeding worked really well for me in the past, hope the same goes for this one. I love reading your blog and you are so lucky to get it updated so often. I am bad about finding the time to do mine. Take care.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

Playing with fire.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
