News and other stuff...

So I got a call from SiL (brother's wife) yesterday telling me she is pregnant.
SHOCK! lol
Well, kind of a shock but also, not really.
Not really because.... when she loses weight, which she has been, she gets pregnant. And TADA, she got pregnant. Shock b/c well... her kids are 9 and almost 7 and she really didn't want another.
Which is kinda dumb since she knows she gets pregnant when she loses weight (that's how her other 2 were conceived) AND they weren't using protection. DER... I wonder what's gonna happen??

Anyway, other than that, I'm happy for them.
Yes, I am a little jealous, not going to lie, but it's not that all consuming hopeless jealousy that I would've had before having Zoe. I'm so glad it's not like that.

After we had Zoe, my brother REALLY wanted to have another baby and welp, he got his wish heh. It will be great that Zoe gets another cousin close to her age :D
And hopefully, I'll be pregnant later this year so that will add in another one to grow up with the rest. Good times *nodnod*
So yeah, there's that.

Diet has gone to hell this weekend! lol
With Easter, and multiple family get togethers. Yeah, there is no point in even pretending that sticking to a diet is going to happen this weekend. I'm fine with that so long as I don't gain back weight. We'll see though.

We went strawberry picking today! YAY!
It's still early in the season and there was a cold front that screwed up ripening, but we still got 2 gallons of strawberries.

Here are some photos

I would've been the one to carry Zoe, but I had a bad back and welp, after we were done, so did DH :D hehe

What was that?

The title has nothing to do with what I'm gonna post. It's just a random nothing that popped in to my head :P

Anywho...
The good thing about going primal... is that eventually, when you get in to that fat burning mode, or your body starts getting used to the little carb thing... you don't feel as hungry throughout the day.

At first for me, when I first start, I get REALLY hungry as my body adjusts. BUt after that... it's all good.
That's led to a few days of barely getting 1000 calories and I feel totally fine and satisfied with whatever I ate that day.
It's pretty amazing.
Today was not one of those days though.
So yeah..... hopefully this means the weight will just keep disappearing.

UGH tonight is going to be bad. Zoe is fussing right now and just... uuuuugh. I hope she goes back to sleep soon!
She's been waking up around 3am these last few days wanting to eat. Think it was 4am last night.
If she does that again at 4am, I'm just feeding her. No need to prolong the suffering :P lol

She is SO darn squirmy now. I pick her up and put her on my lap and she lunging at things and not wanting to stay still. I should've cuddled with her more when she was content to just sit there. Sigh.
They grow up so darn fast.

Water Weight

So, today is 1 week since I seriously started dieting again.
And I weighed myself.....
*drumroll*

I'm down 6 lbs!! What???
Yep, 6lbs from when I started.
Yes, I'm sure 5lbs of that is water weight, but 1 lb weight loss.. I will take!!

Too bad weight loss can't be like this every week. Hell, I'd be at my goal in no time!! Maybe if people lost weight like this, there would be more with a success to share instead of them failing yet another diet. :(

Sigh.... losing weight sucks.
It's so easy to gain weight. All of those deliciously terrible foods that pack on the pounds. Damn you tasty food!!!!
____

We have termites again! :\
Our home is on a concrete slab and well... these termites are coming up from cracks in the foundation. Awesome.
Had termite guy over today to look at it all and then spray. Hopefully we caught it just in time before any more damage is done.
I'm sure this will be a contiuous battle.

Zoe is doing well. She woke up at 3am last night. UGH! Finally got her to go back to sleep just before 4am. She wanted that formula though and woke back up just after 5. She went back to sleep after getting a bottle so whatever.
Just hope she doesn't wake up tonight! Sleep girl! lol

Grr, stop rolling over!!

Yes, that title is for Zoe!!
She rolls over in her crib and for whatever reason 'forgets' how to roll back over! I dunno if she doesn't want to b/c she doesn't want to bonk her head or if she does actually forget.
It's frustrating though b/c she'll sometimes fall asleep on her tummy but will then wake up totally upset that she's on her stomach. SIGH!
She did that tonight unfortunatly, and 10min ago, just went back to sleep.
Thankfully I was up posting my food and dicking around on the web though so not like I was trying to sleep.
She better sleep nice and long tomorrow!

I'm retaining water again. WTF?? Is it b/c of the 2 cheat weekend? Is it b/c I didn't exercise? Maybe something to do w/ how tired I was today?
Who the hell knows, but I'm back up THREE pounds.
Ok, I need to stop using up the juice in the already dying battery.
Weigh in once a week, every other week or just do it monthly. Monthly would probably be the best option since weight does fluctuate a lot. Think it's time to hide the scale in the closet. *nodnod*

Not the best but meh

Family= Fat... that's just a fact.
Whenever you get together with family, you're always going to eat crap.

They came over Saturday to use our tax return thing and then we went out for Mexican... AND we went and got ice cream after :P lol

Oh well, it was delicious and can't take it back now.
The next couple of weeks are going to be like this.
This Sunday, we're going to church for Easter and I'm sure will either have lunch and/or dinner w/ them.
And then next week, we have a wedding to go to.
So it's going to be at least 2 cheats each week.

Not sure when it is, but we also have a 1yo birthday party to go to. I think that might be in May though so at least there's some spacing out hehe.

I don't think I'm exercising today though.
I actually did get pretty decent sleep, but for some reason just woke up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. I hate that. Going to get back to it tomorrow and kick some booty!!


Oh we did go to Target to see what kind of weights they had. Meh... I might as well just use DH's weights. They're clunky and annoying but we already have them so don't have to spend extra $$ on anything.

I swear, every other week Zoe has a butt rash lol. As soon as I saw it getting red, I started putting oil on it again, but I guess that wasn't enough to prevent it from spreading. Poor girl just has really sensitive skin.
The eczema on her arms and legs is terrible.
It's in these small patches and they will not frickin go away!! We bought a different type of lotion that a coworker recommended. I hate the stuff. It leaves this nasty feeling film on my hands after I put it on her and it has this gross synthetic plastic smell, but if it helps then of course we'll do it.

She's good though. She is developing quite the free spirited attitude. Wants to get in to EVERYTHING as I'm sure all babies her age do lol. OMG I anticipate a lot of headaches when she starts crawling, which thankfully she hasn't figured out yet LOL.

Geeze...

How much water can a body retain??
I started low carbing it seriously on Wed... today, I'm down 5 pounds already!!
I know probably all of that is water weight, but it still boggles the mind.
Where the hell was my body storing 5 POUNDS of water? Geeze...

Anywho...
Diet is going well although I wish to stop eating so many eggs. First couple of days, the eggs weren't bothering me, but history tells me that the eggs are going to cause problems very soon.
I just can't tolerate them for a long period of time I guess and well.... eggs mixed with metformin becomes an... ahem... explosive situation.

DH wants us to make some beef jerky. We made some before, a HUGE hunk of meat only made a little bit of jerky and we ate it all in like, a day and a half lol. And that meat is not frickin cheap either!
We'll see.

I've been planning on going to the store since Wed, but pfft, laziness is getting the better of me. It's nothing that can't wait to be bought anyway so really in no hurry. I just don't feel like getting dressed and going out.
Still need to get that popsicle mold.
OOO the strawberry farm is open, or well, kinda open. They won't be this weekend due to weather, so yeah. Can't wait and then go get some fresh strawberries to add in to whatever kind of popsicles we make.
OOOOOO we could even make pudding pops too!! Sugar free of course, but still, how awesome would that be??
____

Zoe keeps waking up around 4-5am. It's technically sttn still, but wish she would stop! LOL.
I've just said screw it and been giving her a bottle. She chugs it down so she is obviously hungry and she goes right back to sleep usually and sleeps in until 8 now. WOO! So ya know what.... SUCK IT doctor!! I am feeding her so I can get back to sleep after and sleep in until 8!
Feeding her then does pose a problem though. She pees like crazy and has been leaking through her diaper.
Small price to pay I say :P lol

Ouch my shoulders!!

With all of that flinging around I do playing that game, my shoulders are getting sore as crap right now!
Hopefully I'm not pulling anything and actually working something out rofl.
I do work up a good sweat playing and my thighs and calf muscles start to get that burn sensation when I actually remember to move around :P rofl

Tomorrow I'll be doing some strength stuff. Think I need to buy some heavier weights. Right now, I only have tiny little 3lb ones hehe. I have the kettlebells still, and DH has his big clunky weights, but I'd prefer to get my own. Was going to go to Target this morning but w/ the rough start I had... may go tomorrow and see what they have along with picking up a popsicle mold.

Saw a great idea on The Doctors, where they mixed together a bunch of fruit w/ some yogurt and then froze it to make popsicles. I may need to do something else since yogurt has an ass load of frickin carbs in it. Nevermind adding in fruit to it too. SIGH! Just can't frickin win! lol
At least I can't do it right now, not while my body is HOPEFULLY transitioning to burning fat. Grrr, it better be!

I'm so tired of looking like I'm 6m pregnant!!! It's embarassing as hell :( Of course my stomach is the first place the fat goes and the last place it comes off... damnit.

Good lord, Zoe is going through outfits today like no ones business. She keeps leaking all over the place!! Peeing a ton and then pooping. The poop blocks any pee after it from absorbing so it does the only thing it can and comes out! BLEH! Every diaper change so far has been a leak.
I guess this is where disposable diaper moms come in and point and laugh at me hehe. Or at least I like to imagine there are some that would :D
