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.

Trail River Campground

Sean and I spotted Trail River Campground back in April on a trip down to Seward. I was excited to go back when the lake was not frozen. We reserved a tent site online and based on the online system, it looked like the campground was really full. When we arrived, there were lots of reserved signs, but on closer inspection, some of the reserved signs were for dates that had passed or in the future. There were many spots available. Anyway, we met the campground host and he informed us that he and his wife were bleaching ALL the bathrooms every day. These were the cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen. The cost for tent sites is $18 per day. There is a two week limit. Dogs are allowed and I found this to be a very dog friendly place. If I had to complain about anything it would be that it was kind of noisy. I wasn't sure at first if it was the river or if it was car traffic noise I was hearing. I do like to have white noise when I'm falling aslee...

We are still in Seattle for Day 7!

Since we left Anchorage, Sean noticed there was a small oil leak coming from the Jeep. We decided that since we were in the United States now, we should get it checked out. Now, I cannot really remember what was wrong with the Jeep and why it was leaking, but what I DO remember is that the part wouldn't be in until later today, so we decided that instead of going down to Portland, Oregon as planned, we hang around in Washington for one more day. We learned about a park there called Forest Park. If you live in this area and have kids, you HAVE to go and visit this park! They had a big open field for picnics, kite flying or bubbles! There is a playground, sprinklers, a petting zoo and it was all FREE. I didn't realize there would be sprinklers, so I didn't pack the girls bathing suits for that day. SHAME on me! She is trying to catch a singular drop of water. And having so much fun in the process. It's bubble time. I love the lo...

My Dad is the coolest.

We had a pretty good day today. Autumn is still a little bit cranky which makes me wonder if something else is going on. I'll just say she is teething like I always do. Maybe, one day she will have teeth, or even a tooth. We had a super lame dinner. I am waiting until you get home to do some grocery shopping. Speaking of the kitchen, why does Autumn always feel the need to tear it apart? I swear, when I walked in there today, I thought you were home already. I found the culprit though: The Destructionator. Maybe I should show Autumn the long arm of the law: Which brings me to my next point. When you have wimpy arms like that and a husband who is always gone, you have to find some one/thing to open jars for you. SO glad we have this: My uber strong second husband. In a few minutes, I will be getting Autumn ready for bed. She wanted to tell you: My Dad Is The Coolest! I say: According to him!!! xoxox I close with the count: Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxoxo
