Yo Ho Ho

Guppy is obsessed with the show "Jake and the Neverland Pirates."  Basically, he loves all things pirate related.  As luck would have it, a friend of mine recently gave us a pirate costume.  Needless to say, my baby boy LOVES it.

Aye Aye Matey!

Feeling blah

Don't you love how forgetful I am?  Last month I was all, "I am totally going to write three posts a week on my blog!"  And then I proceeded not to post anything for like 3 weeks.  Yes, I suck at life. 

I don't know what is wrong with me lately.  I just can't seem to get motivated about anything.  This seems to happen to me every year.  I go through a phase where everything just seems blah.  Does that make sense?  I just don't feel like doing anything that I need to do - like laundry or cooking or grocery shopping.  It is probably just related to the monotony of everyday life.  But regardless, I am sick of it all.

I have also been horrible with my eating lately.  I just can't seem to stop gorging myself on Halloween junk.  I bought a bag of candy corn today, and I couldn't stop eating that junk.  My lack of self control pisses me off.  I am going to get fat eating candy corn?  Seriously?  I don't even like candy corn that much.  Totally not worth it, but as I mentioned before, I suck at life.

So, let's review!  I never write on my blog, I don't want to do anything related to being a mom/housewife, and I like eating junk food.  I am glad I wasted your time writing all this out.

Whipping my fat ass into shape

In 2010, I buckled down and lost a lot of weight.  To celebrate my success, I bought myself some new clothes.  In December of that year, I found out that I was pregnant with Guppy.  In a few short months, my new clothes no longer fit.  Then I had a baby and gained a little more weight, so those new clothes continued to not fit.  But this week I finally managed to get into my pre-pregnancy jeans. I strutted around today in my cute jeans, feeling very proud of myself.

Even though I can now fit into my old clothes, I am still not back to my pre-pregnancy weight.  I have about 10 more pounds to lose.  Honestly, I don't think I'll ever make it back to that magical number.  And if I do make it there, I have no illusions that I can maintain it.  I've been sitting at this weight for about 3 weeks now.  At first I was disappointed that I wasn't seeing results anymore.  But that feeling has started to fade, and I am currently feeling pretty happy with my body.

So, I am looking forward to the fall and finally getting to wear those cute clothes I bought way back in 2010.
