Re-starting

Well, I'm starting my diet over again. I ran out of diet approved foods like 3 days b4 it was time to go grocery shopping. So, I could have been a good girl, but I decided to make the most of it. I gained back what I lost, so I'm back at my beginning weight :( Tonight I ate at one of my fav fast foods, had pop, and then bought one of my fav candies. So tomorrow, I'll be ready to start over :)

my wkend

Ok, lets see here....Friday, we'll start w/Friday. I took Jaden to to Peds on Friday bc he's had a cough that has gotten progressively worse, mainly at nights. He wakes up coughing so hard that I'm just waiting for him to puke :( He had no other symptoms and was really only bad at nights, but I decided that it was time to take him in, half expecting them to tell me to wait it out. We go and see Christy, who we've been seeing on a pretty regular basis now that my primary is on maternity leave. She was very impressed that Jaden's nose and sinus's have FINALLY cleared. He's had a sinus infection most of the winter, but he's now on his nose spray AND claritin which seems to be doing the job. Anyways, she listened long and hard to his lungs and decided that he has bronchitis. We started him on his meds that night, and he hasn't woken up coughing since!!! We also went out Friday night w/my family to celebrate my sister Bethany getting a job. Afterwards, Melanie, my BIL, Shaun, and I went to see Wildhogs. It was HILARIOUS! Definitely not a kid movie, but good nonetheless.
Saturday. I spent most of the day home w/the boys. We just hung out, stayed on our normal routine which was nice since Saturdays normally mess up everything. We went over to my parent's for dinner bc my dad was cooking up the fish he'd caught this winter. Afterwards, my mom took me to see Premonition. Two movies in one wkend, I know, WOW! LOL The movie went all over the place, so it was hard to follow, but it was still ok.
Sunday. We went to church, of course. Pastor's sermon made me think he'd sat in on both of my Tuesday Bible studies last week bc it was about Martha, and we talked about Martha last wk. After dinner w/my family, we took the boys for a nice long walk. It was BEAUTIFUL out!! Jaden played outside afterwards until I realized that he hadn't had a nap yet. After his nap, I had a meeting at the church, but I'm told that they went on another walk and that they played outside for the rest of the evening pretty much until I came to get them.
Well, that was my wkend. Oh, and as for my diet. I wasn't necessarily good *blushing* I had pop and candy at both movies, and then I had no-bake cookies at my mom's house (couldn't resist!). BUT, I still managed to lose 3lbs, so I must be doing something right :)

picture retakes

Now that I look back on them, I see it, but I didn't notice the black smug in the background on Asher's picture until I got the 8x10. Then, there it was, staring me right in the face. So, we had retakes. Here they are:









Like my wild haired man and my Alfalfa? That's what happens when their hair is freshly washed...LOL. I need to cut Asher's hair, but it curls in the back and is SOOO cute. I just can't bring myself to cut it :)

started my diet

Well, I started my diet on Thursday. I'm doing the South Beach diet again. I only have like 5lbs that I want to get rid of, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of a few more. Anyways, I chose the SBD bc it takes out all carbs the 1st 2wks of the diet, and carbs are my BIGGEST weakness! I remember that once I got past the 1st 2wks last time, that my desire for carbs drastically decreased. So, I figure if I can get through the 1st 2wks, that will help me a lot w/keeping my weight where I want it to be. I mean, summer is about to be here, and I gotta look good in my bikini...LOL. Here's what I look like now:

didn't get the job

Well, I went in to get my blood work done for the clinical drug test job. They had done questions over the phone to make sure I qualified, but when I got there, they said something about breastfeeding. I had planned on using the time to ween Asher since he only eats off of me once a day. But, when I told them that I was still breastfeeding, they said I couldn't do it bc I would have had to of stopped at least 3mos ago bc it messes up my results. GRRRR I just don't know why they didn't ask me about it on the phone w/all the other questions.
So, now I'm back at square one.....again.
