New beginnings

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but after having my baby my life changed dramatically! Not only did my body change in ways I still can't understand my daily routine did, having two babies is a lot different than one! (Duh right) Well this pregnancy I told myself I would be different no using it as a excuse to eat crap, so I stayed on track ate healthy kept up on my workouts and only gained 35 lbs! I was only one size away from my pregnancy size before I went in to have him! I was so excited I thought I would be back in my jeans in no time, well it didn't exactly happen that way. I continued to eat extremely healthy after I had him but to my surprise I was gaining weight uncontrollably despite the fact I was eating clean and keeping active while breastfeeding on top of that. It started to send me into a post partum depression, loosing weight and being healthy was my specialty and I felt that was being taken away from me. I went to the doctor after 3 months of no progress they checked my thyroid and a full panel of blood work everything came back normal, this sent me spiraling down worst. I was doing everything right at the time I was doing insanity eating 1200 cal a day cutting my carbs way down I never ate so clean in my life. I still have no clue why I'm not seeing any progress it's been 6 months I'm still the same weight with just a few inches lost but I'm back in the gym which is what I love to do! I've given up on the scale and being so concerned about loosing weight and getting back to a certain size, I have two very beautiful children who love me EXACTLY the way I am! With that who could be sad about a number, my daughter tells me everyday how beautiful I am and tells me she loves my stomach she loves my arms all the things I don't like about myself she finds beautiful and I never want to take that thinking away from her! I want her to see her beauty and never think otherwise! So what I have learned through all this is I'm healthy and have people who love me exactly the way I am! I will never give up on my fitness I'm just learning to enjoy the journey!




This blog will now be geared more towards fitness, health, and my journey back to where I once was and my journey to loving myself for the first time so my babies can grow up with the right image!

Slacker status

So being pregnant in the summer is hard really hard, I mean I did it with my first child to but either this summer has been hotter or the second child is harder on you!! So just to post a few looks I've put together.
it's amazing how big your belly gets so fast near the end

Just a few maternity looks

Just a few looks! The closer I get the harder it is to find something to wear! I'm so ready to be done and the baby!! Only 10 more weeks left crossing my fingers for a little sooner!!

Playing catch up!

Been super busy moving into a new place! Pregnancy has been getting the best of me lately and I've got this wonderful cold that I can do nothing about!!! I've found a couple looks I like lately but the further a long I am the more frustrating it is and the more appealing those running shorts seem!!
Look one I bought this maternity dress awhile ago but I love it! Its the most comfortable thing to wear and I will definitely use it after baby!







Look 2 simple shorts but I love this top and vest!!




Look 3 didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to, going to use a different top next time but I was comfortable and that's all that matters!! Maxi skirts are a pregnancy favorite!




And here are a couple pictures of my mini fashionista! The last one is just to cute and she joined the in crowd and had a frosty in a waffle cone!!!

Mother's day weekend!!

You know that feeling when everything is all planned out and things are suppose to go perfect? Yeah.... me either!! Despite all the crazy hectic things that happened it was a amazing weekend and wouldn't have asked for anything else!

Saturday my mom and I were suppose to go in town just us girls get lunch and do some shopping while Lorelai babysat my dad! ;) Our plans got changed when my grandpa called my mom and told her he would be down for a visit because he was in town (he lives 6 hours away) I was OK with plans getting changed for that except for the fact that he never showed up :( The whole day wasn't a loss tho I made us dinner and we watched a chick flick!




Sunday was so busy it just flew by! Lorelai reminded me first thing in the morning what a joy it is to be a mommy when she got ahold of my favorite eye shadow and broke it into powder form all over my white rug!!! Her kisses and apology made it better tho! Plus she made my day by telling me almost every 5 minutes that I looked beautiful it just melted my heart!









I love this day for many reasons , my amazing mom who is my best friend and for being able to celebrate the day with her because of my precious little girl and my little one on the way!! I hope all you mommies out there had a wonderful day:)

Anyone else?

Does anyone else buy a new dress/ outfit for a special occasion or holidays?! I don't know what started it (probably my mom!!!) really I'll use any excuse to shop tho! Mother's day is a acceptable reason for a new dress, right?! I'm really excited about this dress, it's a high low dress that looks good with a bump! Even better it was a Tj Maxx so it was super affordable! I will post the complete look on Sunday :)

I was looking my spring board on pinterest for some outfit ideas and came across this little gem!




My take is a little different, it was pretty warm here today so I used my shorter black dress! I wish my denim shirt was a real tie one it would of made it a little cooler! I might pick one up next time I see it because this look is absolutely one of my favorites! I love wearing dresses while I'm pregnant because they are so easy!







24 weeks here :)

The cutest thing ever!!

Lorelai always watches when I "pose" (or lack there of) so today she decided she was going to model for me :)




I just about died when I saw these! Its just to cute!!

I finally found a couple of shirts that I really like that works with a bump! This one is defiantly a favorite!








I'm so glad its getting warmer out and the weather has been beautiful lately, its getting me excited for picnics and hiking!! Hope its here to stay this time!!
