Week 6.....and feeling like......

By
DUMP!!!


So here I have been busting my ever living butt for freaking 6 weeks, and not one thing has happened. I literally have not missed a workout. Nope.....nada uno. I have been eating super super good. Besides a cheat here and there. Ok.....wait I lied. I did have a spectacular lunch with friends that will be blogged about because it was the best indulgence lunch I have ever had, but hey.....cut me some slack.

But here is the thing. I have lost only 2 pounds. I still have my doughnut, my cheesy thighs and the never ending back fat. I know this blog post is pretty explicit. Keep reading at your own risk. I have my gross, never to be revealed before photos posted randomly around the house to keep my eye on my goal. It has motivated me to keep going, to do my workouts when I am absolutely so tired, or to not eat the cookies, icecream, or snacks that are lying around. But, how much longer can I keep this up when I don't see a single ounce of result. Ok....I lied again. I may feel a wee bit stronger, and maybe a little more energy and healthier. But, man throw me a bone. Let me see some fat flee my body.

I don't want to feel defeated. I won't quit. This is a lifestyle change, not a means to an end. I will keep going. I still am having my weekly appointment for my back so my pain is being managed ok. I just want to stay motivated which I am finding rather difficult.

Please help me not feel like a piece of dump. Tell me I'm going to see some change and not doing this for nothing. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated.

Ugh! That is no good. It's so hard to keep up with something that hard without visible results. BUT! I'm sure there are untold results that are not visible to the eye. And therefore, it is totally worth it. Keep going!!

You JUST had a baby! Your SECOND baby! And you're nursing. People can say you lose weight when you're nursing, but I don't believe it--I didn't loose anything until I was almost done nursing. Your energy levels aren't your fault...the exercise, good eating, and more sleep helps, but your energy just won't be back up to normal until at least 9 months. I remember being astounded by how great I felt a year after Annie was born and I realized (again) what a toll pregnancy, birthing, nursing, and newborns takes on a body! So don't be depressed...just be patient...

I totally understand how you feel. I got so frustrated each weigh-in last year when I was so close to my goal, I was doing everything right and I just couldn't loose the last few pounds. I would burst into tears almost every week.

I think it's important to remember that you just had a baby. Seriously. Not easy to loose weight right now. But, be proud of yourself for the progress you've made. 2 pounds is still 2 pounds.

muscle weighs more than fat...you are just in the balancing part before you start to lose more. :)

My dad always says when you want to quit, that is when you push harder and don't give up.

YOU CAN DO IT(in that macho voice)

Baby JACK JONES!

By
We showed them didn't we Jack? As I said in my last post I was going to tell the hospital that Jack wanted to be born on May 20th regardless of what they say. My last post was written on May 20th at about 7:45 p.m. While writing the post I did feel some stronger contractions but since I had been contracting all day I really just ignored it. Until I published my post and started walking around. They immediately started coming 3 minutes apart and I had to breath through them. Brian was putting Emmi down to sleep, but I barged into the room and said we need to go to the hospital fast. I called Eric and Kelley to take Emmi and in no less than 5 minutes we were out the door. Emmi couldn't have been more thrilled. Off for a sleep over with her cousins. Driving to the hospital was the longest drive possible. The contractions were coming so fast. I was a contortionist in the passenger seat while gripping Brian's thigh everytime a contraction hit. Brian dropped me off in the round a...

Family Pics!!!

By
It's that time again for family pictures for the good ol' Christmas card. I always hate doing this, but you know you just got to do it. It took me weeks to get together everyones outfits. I stewed and stewed about where I wanted the shoot and what style I was looking for. I hired this amazing photographer and I am for the first time extremely impressed of how things turned out. Here are a few sneak peeks! Emmi was handing out fake smiles and frowns the entire shoot. I can't tell you how hard it is to get everyone with their smiles on in one photo. I think that our little Jack stole the show. He was by far the cutest in every photo. P.S. Oh yeah..... I completely CHOPPED my hair. It's been a little hard to adjust to, but a good change.

Happy St. Raggy's Day!!!

By
Wow.....can you believe that it has been 4 years since the day Ragnar Birkeland came to us for a quick visit? It is such an easy day to remember since it is on St. Patricks Day. We have now renamed the holiday in honor of our little boy to St. Raggy's Day. If any of you don't know the story behind the name RAGNAR....well....you may think we are kinda mean parents. But believe me it fits. It always is a good day to remember what we have to look forward to when we see the little dude again. I do feel like it is a little blessing to always have that excitement to raise a child we do not know in the next life. I can't wait to see what little personality he has, and to see my love grow for him. I am sure he is up there now giving our new little boy some pointers on how to deal with us. Hopefully "Jack" is taking the pointers to good heart. So, you are all probably wondering if that is the name of our new baby boy. Well, we have been throwing around multiple names, bu...
