Oh How Pinteresting

It has been a very long time since I have linked up with The Vintage Apple for Oh How Pinteresting, so I thought today would be a great day to join back in.

This edition of Oh How Pinteresting is going to be about our surprise Baby #4.  I have become addicted to going through my pinterest and pinning things for our baby girl. 

Here are some of my favorites:

Even though I am not really working out, I would love this tank from Ruffles with Love.

 

Being the Rangers family that we are, I would love this blanket for the new baby!

 

Since this is baby #4, I have decided that I need a cute gown to deliver in!  This one has access down the back and for breast feeding.

 

I hate when random people touch my growing belly, so I am thinking this shirt is a must!

 

I LOVE these and will definitely need them for baby girl!!

 

 

Till Next Time!

 

My first vlog!

The time has come!

Here goes nothing....



Skinny Girl Problems

Good afternoon everyone!

I hope y'all are having a great week!

I know I am!

My mother in law and step daughter made it in on Saturday and we have been having a great time!  We plan on swimming and going to lunch today and not sure what else but it is shaping up to be a busy day.

I went back to the gym finally yesterday and I am sore today in my thighs and hips.  I know that I am so out of shape, because all I did yesterday was the treadmill and the elliptical!  UGH!  I feel like I am starting over, but I know it is my fault.  I just need to get back in to the rhythm of working out and eating right. 

Skinny Girl Problems:  This morning Maddi (my super skinny mini, the one that has to wear pants with adjustable waist or they fall off of her) came down and said her shorts were poking her side.  I asked her if her pants were too tight and she said, "Yes mom they are!"  I asked her how she knew, and her response was "Because I had to unbutton them to get them on!"  "Really Maddi?  I have to unbutton my pants every time."  Oh, the problems of a skinny girl!

My Health and Weight Loss Progress

I have slowed down on working out a lot since I have been working, but I am still slowly losing weight (thanks to all the walking at work)!  I can't wait till I can get back in the gym though, I really miss it! 

I am not counting calories or being super strict on everything that I am eating, but I am very aware of what I am putting in my body.  I am trying to make sure that it is lots of fruits and veggies and less crap than I was eating.  I am cutting out calories and fat by supplementing fat free or low fat versions of things like cheeses, soups, and creams in my cooking, I have cut out sodas and I am drinking diet green tea instead, and I have cut out fast food almost completely.  If I am really hungry before dinner, I eat a big salad with fat free dressing so that I don't over indulge on dinner.

My new favorite adult beverage is Voli vodka and lemonade.  Voli vodka is a low cal vodka and I found 15 calorie per serving lemonade.  It is a super yummy drink and very refreshing, especially on a hot day out by the pool :)

I know that there will be cheat days/weekends, and I am ok with that.  I am learning to not be so hard on myself if I do fall off the wagon, but to just get right back on track.  

Having a support system is really important, and I highly encourage anyone trying to lose weight and be healthier, to partner with someone.  They can keep you on track, be a motivation when you are down, or scold you when you do fall off the wagon and have a hard time getting back on.  I have several people in my support system, and they have been a huge help for me.

So far I am down 5 or 6 pounds, which is not a lot, but I don't plan on putting it back on.  I am ok with it coming off slowly, as long as I keep the weight off.  I have finally moved back into the 160s, and I am looking forward to the 150s!!  I will keep you updated!!

What keeps you on track and motivated??

My New Job!!

I am proud to announce that I have a new job!!

I am going to be a part time (for now) sales consultant at CarMax!

I could not be happier!

This job is going to be challenging, exciting, and faced paced!

Just what I need to get me out of my rut!

Wahoo!!

So ready for a change!

I am feeling kinda blah this week, and I know it is because my butt has not been in the gym!

I haven't been since last Wednesday, and I am feeling it!!

I have BodyRocked a few days, but I am in need of a good run!!

*I honestly never thought those words would come out of my mouth!*

How do you guys stay motivated to work out?

I have started using MyFitnessPal again, to keep myself on track with my eating (please feel free to follow me so we can keep each other accountable)!

How do you stay in control of your eating?  Do you allow cheat days or splurge when ever you want?
