i never have time to myself anymore, much less time to blog. having a two year old and newborn is exhausting! most days my body feels like a big pile of jello! we staying at the lake this week in my husbands camper so i actually have to relax! although i have to admit trying to cook dinner in a fifth wheel camper with two crying kids right up under you is not fun! we going out to eat tonight so i don’t beat myself senseless!

i’m reading this book right now during my “free” time called “skinny bitch”, it’s absolutely fascinating! the book is written by two vegans and i must say if you had told me before reading this book that i would one day agree to stop eating meat, and avoid dairy whenever possible i would have said you were crazy!!! i don’t know why i’m surprised that the federal government doesn’t give two shits about my health. everyone should look into what happens to the animals you eat on a regular basis and the stress it puts on your body! animals pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones=serious health issues!

the baby slept 6 hours and 45 mins straight last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had a hard time falling back asleep after i feed her because i was really awake from so much sleep! i’m happy as a lark!

friday-august 8th, 2008

the baby did not sleep at all last night!!!! it wasn’t that bad but i was extremely disappointed that she didn’t keep with the sleeping long stretches!

my mom worked me out today on her palates machine (she’s a personal trainer) and then i had my first tofu taco and it was amazing!!!! i actually enjoyed it more than chicken which i usually get! it was such a relief to finally eat something that i enjoy and that filled me up! i’m been starving since i went on this no meat diet!

diary is just as fattening and bad for you as non-organic/not all natural meat but way harder to avoid in public, and since we’re staying in the camper and eating out a lot i’m not pushing it with the dairy. except when it comes to taylor-marie who is lactose and tolerate.

stop eating meat and you will poop like a well oiled machine! it’s crazy how much i go now! but it’s like, “wow, i feel healthier and cleaner than ever!” the only annoying thing about this process is my husband who thinks i’m crazy. he is usually my number one supporter even when he thinks i’m going a little overboard with something but with no meat thing he said your on you own! i’m still eating fish once a week (because i’m breast-feeding it’s not recommend that you eat a lot of fish due to mercury contents). he does agree that they use to many hormones to grow chickens! they grow a chicken from hatchling to full grown on it’s way to the slaughter house in six weeks!!!!!! that is not normal nor can it be healthy to eat.

we’re taking the girl to the water park today and i am not excited about the idea of being in a bathing-suit six weeks after giving birth and eighteen pound over my pre-pregnancy weight! i bought a one piece at target last night. i’ve never worn a one piece in my life! and i can decide if i want to keep it and wear it or just wear a two piece with my cover up all day. i’m thinking the cover up is just going to get annoying so i might as well suck it up with the one piece.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh we went to the mall of ga last night after an AMAZING dinner at bonefish grill (i love that place), then me and my huband both got new nikes. he got these tight golf shoes, and i got this awesome pair red trainer shoes. they are extremely comfortable, but annoying in the sense that now all my exercise clothes are going to the have to be red, black, or white because i can’t stand to not match if i’m going to be wear working out clothes in public! and why would i be wear work out clothes in public? because with a breast-feeding baby there is no time to think about taking a shower and changing clothes after you work out! the plan in to work out at least five days a week until i’m back at the weight i want to be. but i don’t want to just be skinny i want to be toned. seriously i can not stand the way my body looks right not, and yet i just keep eating whatever i want! it will be nice once the weight is gone and i’m exercising and i can eat whatever i want! i’ve got to make me some fun workout play list! i’m thinking i’ll be stealing my dad’s nano that i have him for christmas like 2 years ago to wear when i’m walking. i wish we lived closer to a track where i could push the girls in the stroller. the neighborhood across the street from us creeps me out!

we’re in the process of putting our house on the market. we’re taking it slow because my wonderful mother-in-law is living with us right now but found herself a house to rent right down the road. i’m going to miss her because she keeps the dishes washed, house picked up, and laundry done for me! it’s been so nice with the new baby not to have to worry about that stuff! we want to move to the next county over where we can send our girls to public school and not feel like we’re sending them off to be educated in the world of sex, drugs, and gangs. some people think i’m being crazy but i’m not. i want to be the one to teach my girls about those things, not their peers.
