Fitness challenge!


First off, I reached my goal!!!! I was approx. 160 lbs at 40 weeks pregnant, now I am standing at 115 lbs 7 months postpartum which is where I wanted to be...I'm good with that! especially for my height. now I just want to get toned! it's not always about being skinny but looking healthy and eating clean! Today is a big day...I'm starting TAPOUT XT! Better yet, my husband is doing it with me! should be fun! We are really pumped for it! we are also cutting out sugar and junk food and carbs. We just want to eat clean! lots of water, protein, and exercise! This is a 90 day challenge so I will blog about it when i'm around half way through and then again at the end! Wish me luck! :)


"Exercise to be FIT not skinny, Eat to NOURISH your body and always IGNORE the haters, doubters, and unhealthy examples that were once feeding you! YOU are worth more than you realize."

7 months

Yup...most of my blogging is about this little stud....but seriously it's making me SO sad how fast he is growing!!!! I love these new pix of him... he looks so grown up! he looks so much like his daddy! He is rolling around so much now, and for the past month he has been on solids (aside from breastfeeding). I first tried feeding him solids around 6 months and he wasn't interested AT ALL....I tried feeding him rice cereal and carrots at first but he wouldn't eat much. I felt kinda discouraged because I thought he would want to eat it but wasn't. So I held off for like 5 days and tried again and he did much better then! Now He is eating Rice cereal, carrots, green beans, butternut squash, sweet potato and apple sauce. His favourite is butternut squash and apple sauce! At first I was buying ORganic puree food but now I am starting to make my own at home. I really want a Vitamix!! Hopefully soon. Yesterday he got up on his hands and knees when he was playing in his crib and crawled!!!!! I totally missed it because I was in the shower but Ryan saw it!!! I'm so jealous he got to see and I didn't! He hasn't done it since but I'm just waiting for it to happen again! He loves to watch me blow dry my hair....I don't know if he likes the sound or what but it's pretty funny! He also likes polka dots....my pajamas are polka dot and when he's sitting on my lap he tries to grab them! it's so hilarious...what a funny kid. I love him. I'm sure I won't be bored with this kid. I can't believe Ryan already wants another kid....he's funny too. ;)


Going on a walk! 7 months old.


Visiting Jennine at the mall!


So it's been snowing here all week and it's FREEZING. I'm getting tired of it....but that's Alberta for ya! I can't wait for summer this year! We will be going to BC in June and July. It's so gorgeous there in the summer and I can't wait to take Kaden to the beach! I just can't wait to lounge around in my bathing suite all day. Warm weather, beach and sand is all I need. We are also planning a trip to California to visit my sister and her husband. Summer hurry UP!


Ryan is done school next month. yes, DONE. FINALLY. He is so excited....he even put in his 2 weeks notice at Home Depot. This is serious stuff. He loves that store and they love him but he's so done working there. He's been applying to Engineering jobs all over Alberta so he could get a job anywhere...kinda scares me but it's exciting! I'm happy for him he has worked so hard to get to this point....4 weeks to go!

Lately I've been exhausted. I got my first visit from mother nature since before I got pregnant. EW. wasn't too happy about that.  anyway....I'm also doing Yoga which I am loving!!!! more like obsessed.  I have also been very crafty lately...I got out my sewing machine and made my niece a crib blanket and some burp cloths. I had so much fun with that and was surprised I was able to get it done in time for her baby shower! Go me!  




Crib blanket full size :)




My handsome boys after church. 


We've been getting a lot of snow lately.....hopefully it's the last of it!



Our Little snow monster! A friend from the ward got him this oufit for Christmas! It's really big on him but it does the job! 




That's all for now :)
