Journey Update!
As of today I weighed in at 86 kgs!!
Start August 10th 2011- 94kgs (207lbs)
September 1st 2011 - 86 Kgs!! (189lbs)
8Kgs gone! That is 18lbs GONE! I still have a LONG way to go, but this is a great start.
I am so pumped that I have managed to lose this much so fast. I am in no way starving myself. I am just eating "Real" food. I walk about 5k a day with Cooper. I am trying to get two walks in on most days, but it doesn't always happen!
This past week I worked at the Body Studio for my friend Sam. It has been great having a "Job" to go to, but I do not enjoy the 1.5 hour drive there and back. Family Pictures have come out and they are fantastic. As soon as I pick the ones I want I will post some. I am already proud that I am looking healthier now than in those pictures! Just means I will have to have more family pictures done this summer.
So there is my update. I know I said I would do it weekly, but it's been busy. I will try to update more often!

Life Changes!
I really need to get better at this!! I need to blog more. I used to blog to help me vent about life or just write down what was happening in our lives. I have decided that it is time to start using this more.
Last week I started a new life style. I have finally decided to battle the bulge! I am on a mission to be a physically new person. I am on a mission to lose around 65lbs. This sounds like an ENORMOUS amount, it's because it is. I need to finally take my weight gain seriously. After having Cooper I reached the heaviest I have ever been in my life! What a scary feeling to know that I tipped the scales at 207 lbs. Even writing that number makes me sick to my stomach. A healthy weight for my height is 147 lbs. I don't remember the last time I was ever that small. This is for no one else, but me. I need to be held accountable for all the coke I used to drink... Every twix I consumed in the 9 months of pregnancy. ::sigh:: this will not be an easy journey... but a journey none the less. I have a goal to have lost at least 40lbs by Cooper's first birthday ( Dec 5th) I know this is a HUGE number to reach in 4 months but hopefully with hard work and heathy eating it will happen. I am tired of being the fat friend. I am tired of being a fat wife. I have struggled with my weight for over 15 years now.
I have just become to complacent in my bad habits. ie. not eating breakfast, huge portions, fast food multiple times a week, sweet, and LOTS of Coke.
Cooper is almost 9 months old now and it is time to stop using " Having a Baby" as an excuse.
So goodbye old me. I am stoked to see where my new me will take me. I am counting calories and exercising everyday. I am now into my 2nd week of this new live and loving it. Don't get me wrong- I would love to have a twix and a coke, but I will be that much closer to my goals if I just grab an apple. I want Cooper to have a "fit" mom. He deserves a great role model. I want to be that for him.
Week one-
Start weight 207 End weight 196.2
- 11lbs What a great start to my week!
I will try to update each week to show my progress!

Last post was in 2009??!?!
Where the hell did I go? I can't believe its been that long since I have written ANYTHING.... How do I make up for the year of 2010??
Here is the Highlight reel!
January 2010-
Decided it was time to move on from our farm
Feb- Bought a 1300 acre farm and decided 850 cows to milk would be a great idea. Kev and Mac got married and were expecting
March- After numerous trips to the doctor for a sore tummy I am diagnosed with a stress ulcer.
April- April 7th, I found out my stress ulcer is infact not an ulcer but a beautiful baby growing!!!! (OMG!!!!)
Sage had to be put to sleep just a few days later :(
May- I headed back to the US after packing our house to be in Jean's wedding!
June- Jean's Wedding, Found out we were expecting a baby boy, Brendan and I headed off the Europe and the UK to see friends.
July- Kev and Mac Welcome baby Kaylee
August- Felt big kicks from the baby boy growing in my belly.
Sep-Nov Spent every waking moment remodeling our house
December- December 5th we welcomed the most BEAUTIFUL baby boy into our lives. His Name is Cooper James Saunders.
There you have it- The highlights of my 2010. I will try to keep this Blog updated better, but since no one really reads it- it's not too much pressure :)
