Weight Loss Update ...

Well, I told y'all I'd update you on this a long time ago but have kept forgetting to.  Scratch that, I was mad (Read:  pouting ridiculously like a giant baby and not looking at what God had blessed me with as progress) that I was stuck at the same number and was putting it off.  I have since figured out what was holding me up (Note: eating a bag of steamed edimame for dinner, no matter how much you love them and try and convince yourself that since they are a vegetable they surely have to be good for you, only does one thing.  Make you retain water) changed it and immediately saw results.  So, since I've started working out and making a conscious effort to watch what I eat (end of December) I've lost 11 lbs!  And I'm T-H-R-I-L-L-E-D.  Now, so the Mister won't get mad at me for not giving myself credit, in total I've lost 41 lbs.  But, not that I'm discounting it, 30 lbs of it fell off by two weeks after I got home from the hospital so the amount that I've lost since starting my workout/eat well plan is 11.  I'm going to take random pictures here and there just to "show" my progress.  And to give myself excuses to take pictures of my little man with his mommy.  So here's one I took today ...

{C wasn't ready for the picture.  He was watching the birdies out the window.  In all fairness, I didn't count to three.}

My face is STARTING to look like me again!  And for the record, I think all the weight I'm losing, little sweet C is gaining.  LOOK at those chubby cheeks!  I could just squeeze 'em all day long!

Sidenote:  (Eyemuffs all you (one) men that read) I'm avoiding the scale for a few days.  You know that thing that happens each month when you don't decide to make adorable little babies?  Well it hurts like the dickens when it's been on "vacation" for almost a year.  Ow-ch.

Oh and apparently Blizzard Watch 2011:  Part II is on for Texas starting tonight so it's possible we may be stuck in the house another day or two.  No big deal.  Did you see the little guy I get to snuggle with up there?
