There are lots of bumps and bruises around these parts.  Today was no exception.  We were walking into their room to go to bed and he took off down the hall.  I called to him and he came barreling back toward the nursery.  Being a toddler, he trips and stumbles a lot.  He stumbled right into the corner of his door jamb.  [See large picture below]

Poor little scarface :(  I'm sure he'll wake up in the morning with a shiner.  I hate when they hurt.  It kills me.  We snuggled extra tonight and he was doing well when we went to bed.  Poor baby. 

The rest of the pictures are from lunch.  Just some iPhone pics we sent to the daddy. 

Today my friend Cara and I started our stroller walking.  Whew!  We're both at about the same point, so its nice to have someone to pal along with who gets me.  We enjoyed our first workout and we will continue tomorrow!  We're trying to get together at least 3 times a week (depending on life) and hope to see some great results.  On thursday or friday we're hitting up the outlet malls to reward ourselves.  Can't wait!

I didn't get many pictures today b/c the daddy is gone for an undetermined amount of time, so I was chasing both babies.  It was a good workout.  After seeing myself in pics I was tagged in on fb, I'm thankful for that workout and the billion others I'm going to fit in in the next several months.  Sick. 

Please ignore my annoying mom voice.

{operation de-fat is officially underway}

We went to Bed Bath & Beyond today after church and picked up a new scale.  I excitedly hopped on when we got home and just about lost my lunch.  I weigh as much as I did when I was 8.5 months pregnant with twins.  Fuck.  I've gained 30lbs in the last 12 months.  Fuck.  I'm completely disgusted.  I ran into a friend at Target yesterday and she almost walked right by me.  She told me she almost didn't recognize me. I thought it was because my hair was different.  Pretty sure its because my face has rounded out.  I knew I'd gained weight by the way I look in pics and the way my clothes fit (or don't fit), but THIRTY pounds?  How embarrassing.  Its not like I had room to gain BEFORE pregnancy, so 30lb on top of that is just sickening.

The good news is, my motivation kicked in just as spring is rolling in.  I can get outside with the babies and work it out.  M's used to be a trainer, so he's working on a plan for me.  I'm ready.  I've never been thin, but its never bothered me.  It bothers me now.  I look fat.  I'm ok looking curvy, I'm not ok looking fat.  I don't feel good, I don't look good, its time for a change.  With that, here we go!  I'll try and post updates on my progress and some before/after pics as I go.  Wish me luck!
