Long time not posting....

Since my last posting, I gained weight and got up to 175lbs. In April 2010, I started to diet and exercise and lost almost 20lbs. I'm feeling much better about myself again, but want to loose another 10-20 lbs. We visited our family in Czech Republic in June/July and since then, I haven't been exercising and eating as healthy. My goal is to get back on track and loose some more weight! I hope I can inspire people with my weight loss success and keeping it off for nearly 6.5 years!!!! I can honestly say I don't EVER see myself obese again! Food and eating is something you have to stay aware of and remember to keep using your tool! Take your vitamins, drink plenty of water, watch your portions and find some sort of activity to do and you will be a success too!
On a side note...my BMI to the left is not accurate...it's based on me weighing 163lbs, which as of today I weighed 159lbs!
I've lost a couple pounds! Yeah!

I'm very happily married to the most wonderful man in the world! We will be married 3 years on December 10. I thank God everyday for bringing such an awesome man into my life. My baby is now 4 months old and adorable as all get out. My oldest son will turn 10 on December 13 and I cannot believe how fast years go by. It doesn't seem like I should have a 10 year old! And I can't forget to mention my beautiful daughter who will turn 8 in March. I'm truely blessed to have such a wonderful family!

Yes, my baby was born!
Sep 18, 2008
My son was born on July 25, 2008 (11days early) and weighed 8lbs 5.5oz. and was 20 inches long! He is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen (even my mom and sister agree and we already have 4 other kids between us....LOL). I had a fast, natural labor and delivery with no complications! He is one of the greatest joys of my life (along with my other 2 kids and husband) and I'm so happy I have him (though the sleep deprivation sucks).
I had gained a total of 29-30 pounds during my pregancy and have lost all but 6-10 pounds of that. The darn scale keeps jumping up and down those few pounds....ugh! I can tell you that this wont be easy to drop those last 10 pounds and not to mention that I would LOVE to drop a few more beyound that! I can still eat much more than I could pre-pregnancy and really have to watch my portion sizes. I also need to be more aware of my food choices and try to cut out the sugar and fattening things (hard to do). I also need to increase my water/fluid intake. I definately know that plastic surgery will be in my future as my belly is much looser and fatter than before.....ERR! Clothes shopping isn't as much fun anymore and I hate that I have to wear 1-2 sizes bigger. I sure hope that I get into my pre-pregnancy clothes again, although the styles are changing and I want a new wardrobe....LOL.
Check out my most recent pics! Hope you enjoy!

Any day now is all I can say! We are soo ready for this baby boy to be born! Everything is washed and ready! The equipment we need right now is all set up and ready! We just are waiting on our boy to decide when he wants to make his appearance!
Thank God my weight gain has slowed way down and at 37 weeks, 1 day preggo, I have gained a total of 28 pounds. I feel pretty confident that I wont gain more than the 35 pounds that I was allowing myself to gain. I can honestly say that 98% of the weight I gained is all due to baby and all belly.....LOL. People think I'm ready to pop this baby out NOW but in reality, my body hasn't shown any signs of being ready (no thinning....no dilation...just baby's head is down). I feel great, have no problems getting around and sleep quite well for being this far along! At my 34 week ultra sound, everything with baby and myself looked great too! Now to just to get through labor & delivery and hold the baby is all I'm looking forward to. I will download my 37 week, 2 day photo's as soon as hubby downloads them onto computer.

My hubby has been busy working and doing things around our house. He has our yard looking very nice and he added a garden (tomatoes, cucumbers, zuccini, peas and an assortment of peppers). We added a deck and some landscaping to the front of our house which makes our house seem so more welcoming. Hubby is also still working very hard at starting his own business and is getting really close to making the product for our own house 1st. I think he has a good idea and I sure hope and pray that people will take to it (which I think they will). As you can see my husband is very energetic and motivated (he don't sit on his behind). I love that about him! In fact I love everything about him and I'm so glad that God brought him into my life. I'm truley blessed to have him as a husband and have 2 wonderful kids (3rd on the way). Now all I will need to do is concentrate on losing this baby weight after the baby is born and making myself look the best I can!
20 Weeks preggo and were having a Boy!

We moved into our new house about a month ago and everything is going well. There are tons of improvements that we want to do and many things that will need to get done. It's overwhelming to think about all we want to do and how much money it will cost and then add in there the expenses that a baby brings along and all the things we still have yet to buy for the baby. I just pray that God will help us to achieve these things. My hubby wants to start his own business and is doing all the required research. I think he has a good idea on what he wants to start and I feel that it will probably do well.....but the time and market will tell. I will post more about this later once he actually gets the business started. We hope to have it started sometime in the fall. Of course what he wants to build and sell will 1st be tested here at our house. I know my hubby will have his own business.....he is motiviated, talented and mechanically and technically inclined and he won't be happy just working at an average paying job. I just hope he makes the right business move and becomes successful with it!

I posted a couple of new pics of myself as I have gotten a new hair style and color. I'm normally really dark haired and wanted to go back to a color that was closer to my natural color (also much easier to maintain).
We got the house we made an offer on and should be closing on it in the middle of February and moving in by the end of that month. This will require my kids to switch schools, which I'm not crazy about. I think my daughter will like it better as she will go to school every day for half days (she is in kindergarten). My son seems fine with the move, but I know he will really miss his teacher and friends. Luckily we won't be moving that far away. This house has so much privacy (1.97 acres) and is set back of a dirt road (not to far down a main road). We will have plenty of room to move and grow into this house, so we are very excited to be in it.
