Um really? Get it together lady.


These are the settings for me on the Weight Watchers website. Take note of a few things:

Losing or maintaining? Losing. (Used to be maintaining)
Nursing mom? Yes, but also supplementing (Used to be only nursing)
Target? 43 (Used to be 56!)

No wonder I gained weight this week.

56 points is a whole lot more than 43. I knew it seemed like a ridiculous amount, and when I stepped on the scale and saw a bigger number, I had to figure out what the heck was going on. So glad I figured this out now instead of weeks of frustration later. So now that we have that figured out....

Sadly, as previously mentioned, I gained weight this week instead of losing it. I am super bummed because I really want to get this going with a huge bang. It'd probably help if I jogged at a walking pace ran a bit more and maybe did some weight training at all. UUgh why is it so much work to look good?? :)

Dentist... dun dun dun




Who doesn't like to be woken up by dental office saying they have an opening this morning to get your teeth cleaned? Just me? Ok.

I looove the feeling of clean teeth! Let's just hope that there are no cavities. Last time was awful (3 cavities, 3!!) but hopefully I have improved my ways/have better luck. We switched to an electric toothbrush and I feel like my teeth are cleaner than ever before.

Here I go!

Plan fail

Usually when Miss Josie is fussy or not sleeping good during the day, it never fails to drive around to put her to sleep. Running errands and shopping are so easy. Today was no exception, until we were almost done.

We went first to Caribou to get me some drinky heaven, then to Walmart in Moorhead which seems to beon the other side of the world. I went there today because I get birth control cheaper and lets be serious, saving tons o' money is completely worth it. So I dropped off my prescription, grocery shopped, and came back, just in the amount of time they quoted to me for it to be ready. Of course it wasn't ready, and Josie was awake... she was just getting fussy when the lady called me up.

*side note. IT WAS FREE. Say what? I used to pay $20/month! I'll take that!! Worth the whole experience today... for sure.

So she was quite awake as we left, but I knew that I needed to go pick up Mike's contacts which were on 13th... busy busy around 4:30 in the afternoon! She cried for most of the way. It was awful. I hate listening to her scream and feeling completely helpless. I tried to maneuver her pacifier at the lights but it wasn't what she wanted and only postponed the screaming for a minute at a time. I think I hit every red light and got stuck behind every slow driver.

Best part? As I was leaving the eye clinic, guess who pulls up. Mike was there to pick up his contact lenses! So I could have just gone home and saved about 20 minutes, which would have meant no 20 minutes of driving with screaming baby.

Oh how lovely miscommunication is :).

Tonight is eggplant parmesian and zucchini fries! We'll see if they are any good. Both are Weight Watcher recipes and are super good for me. This means I get a treat of a DQ blizzard tonight which lets face it makes the day!

What is your favorite kind of blizzard? Mine is cookie dough I think. Or mint oreo. Nom nom nom.

Weeeeekends are my favorite

Another weekend at the lake.
We enjoyed the beautiful weather.
We went to a rodeo and had tons of fun taking pictures and laughing at Josie's mishaps (oh dirty diapers on awkward public places!)
We had some Zorbaz take out.
We enjoyed the company of my family (Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt and Uncle)
LOVE weekends like this. :)

She's so helpful


Cowboy hat would be more appropriate but this is pretty cute too









Rodeos make me tired...
