Changing my body...and my life :)

Wow...it's been a while. First let me update on just... well life. The hubby had an accident at work that resulted in stitches :( scared me to death! He's such a tough cookie. He drove himself home and was calm as can be when he walked in. THEN I SAW HIS LEG. Happy to say he will be getting his stitches out this Friday. Brayden and Carson are playing t-ball together this year...which i love :) next year will be hectic when they are on different teams. Brayden is AMAZING. He plays first base (because he is the best catcher on the team). He is amazing at bat. I am way too competitive to just say "oh let them all play". what i dont understand is that they ALL get to bat...but they can get "out". well for me, once there's 3 outs, that team should have to take the field. ugh. lol. i'm just glad I'm back in Clarksville where the parents are actual athletes too, so they feel the same way. Carson is so goofy out there. He wants to play in the dirt and tackle everyone for the ball. lol. he's a normal 4 year old :) He's amazing at bat as well. I am just amazed by the talent of my boys. That brings me to my little Maggie. The poor girl has had a tough week. This weather is just taking a toll on her. looks like she'll have some seasonal allergy issues. I know she's going through a growth spurt. i mean, when i have to either hold her legs down so she can sleep or massage her legs until she falls asleep...yeah, she's growing. AND THEN she's teething. this poor child is 17 months and only has 4 teeth. I spoke to the dentist last month and they took a look at her for me. she's all good. NOW shes getting 4 teeth on top and at least 2 on bottom. thats a lot of teeth to get all at once. so she's been all snotty and slobbery for over a week now. She's too cute. she's learning all sorts of new things. she says "whats that" and "what'd it do" or "where you go"...i love it. 

FINALLY... me. lol. I've complained and complained about needing to get into shape and losing a little weight. Well i am FINALLY doing it. I started walking/jogging last week and i've ALREADY dropped 5 pounds. FIVE!!! I am just so excited. it's truthfully not about the number on the scale for me. i grew up an athlete, and i still have that athlete in me..and it's time to bring her back. it's time to lose a little fat and gain back a little muscle. my problem is going to be giving up soda. i should probably do it just because my body doesnt need it but i love me a good coke. lol. i decided to go with Sprite, but i'll probably end up doing Sprite Zero since it's technically better for you. with summer...well HERE, i'll be downing the water. sadly i'll have to hold off on some Sweet Tea. mmm...i love some sweet Tea. i dont really want to change the way i am eating. i have an okay balance of bad and good foods. i love a salad (drenched in ranch of course) but i need to try to find a vinaigrette that i'll like :/ we'll see. anywho...i'm just really excited about changing my body and feeling better about myself. i also have some other things going on health wise and look forward to being able to help others obtain their goals and support them on their journey :)
