Getting back into the groove

After being out of work and daycare so much the past two weeks it was real hard to get back to normal.

And guess what? My sweet little princess turned into a monster.

The week started off with her stealing trains from a one year old at Books-A-Million. She was feeding the family dog just about everything. If we were not watching she would tell us that Cassey ate her food. Then she would want us to discipline Cassey. And through out the week her favorite word was NO....In one week she stole, lied and talked back.

By the weekend things calmed down. She was my sweet little princess again.

Abigail spent her time:

Reading

Doing crafts

We made this for Daddy since he was out painting for a guy and because he is going out of town for work this coming up week.

And just being sweet.

But when I turned my back

And no, she is not on a stool.

*Less soda
*And lots and lots of water

I think were off to a good start. I know we need to start exercising. I did have every intention but enough with the excuses.

The Dryer Shrunk My Pants

No, it really didn't. But that is what I kept telling myself over the holidays. Now that the holidays are over I need to get out of my dream world a get with it.

Since one of my favorite reality shows is starting tomorrow "The Biggest Loser" Austin and I are going to start our own contest at home. We did this before and I kicked his butt. But lately both of us slacked off and after a year and loosing 35 pounds I gained 15 pounds in the last four months. And before is spirals out of control we are going to put a stop to it.

So what are we going to do?

We are going to start going back to the gym. We are paying for the membership, so why not go.
Eat healthy.
Try to quit smoking.
NO MORE FAST FOOD.
And develop a "Healthier Lifestyle"as Austin puts it.

Each Friday I am going to post how much weight we lost for the week. I am going to do this because I believe this will keep us motivated and keep at it. Anyways, hopefully by the end of this year we will loose a tremendous amount of weight.

Last night I made Austin take some "fat" pictures so we can reflect back on how we looked at the beginning of our contest.

Here we are:
