7 Pounds and a Motivational Pep Talk

And I'm not talking about the Will Smith movie that came out a few years ago.

I am talking about the amount of weight I have lost! (And I don't intend to go looking for it! hehe)

I was really surprised when I weighed seeing as it has only been about 3 weeks of really exercising. I have been walking on and off, but just recently started the elliptical. Zach and I have been cutting back on all that we eat for a little while though, so maybe that has helped some. : )

I ask that you pray for me as I know I will (and already am) tired every day just from work. I ask you to pray for me always to exercise when I just don't feel like it or have no motivation. I have to say though, right now, I have so much motivation. I picture so many good and positive things, and I intend to keep that up!!

It's up to all of you on my down days to lift me up! That's what friends and family are for, right? I also know that several of you are also needing motivation on many levels. Maybe it's planning a wedding (Jenna), or school (Jenna, Jacob, Natalie, Kasee, and Zach), or you have a classroom of children to motivate (Myself and my cousin, Lauren.) There are probably more that I am not even thinking of right now. I am thinking of all of you and lifting you up in my prayers for some good ol' motivation mo-jo! : )

So, in what area of your life are you needing motivation?

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room. That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there. It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up. So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own. Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more. It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels. I think we were all nervous to cut it. It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks. Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit! Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz. I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement: He has been back to his super active little self this week. Best Moment of this week: Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house. Also, the 3 day weekend! We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy. I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet. But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple! ...

BS #3- 22 weeks

22 weeks with Reid, Savannah, and BS #3! 😍 How far along: 22 weeks Weight gain- up 7 lbs overall. I have been eating more sweets this week and need to reign it in! Buttttt.... Exercise- Reid, Zach, Savannah, and I did take a long walk today in our neighborhood and I’m hoping to do it daily. Most exciting thing this week- baby girl had hiccups for the first time this week and I could feel them all! Zach also got to feel her a couple times for the first time this week! Same timing as he did with Savannah! So cool! Cravings- sweet, Chick- fil- a, Parlor doughnuts Aversions/ anything making you sick- not this week! Yay!!! Reid’s thoughts- he still likes to kiss my belly and ran in and talk to baby and tell her how precious she is! One day he told her he can’t wait to see her in October! Savannah’s thoughts- I have started asking her when she’s laying on her changing table if Mama has a baby in her belly and one day she patted her own b...
