Little Words, Big Pictures

Heart shaped beet from the garden.

Going on walks. (Trying to keep active)

 Garden stir fry

 Quiet mushrooms...

 

Spending time in the garden. We learned so much this year, the goods, and the bads.

+10 Climbing skills

Sunflowers and tomatoes are the mark of a great summer

 We met two new kitten friends.

 It's getting colder but we keep on walkin'. There's a baby arriving next month you know. : )

Last Week at Our House...

 Packing Jared's work lunches.

 Have you ever gone through those times where you are SO HUNGRY? 

That's me. I've been cooking everything!

 I made a banner for my nephews first birthday. I think it turned out pretty well!

I also made these cool tissue orbs decorations for the little guy's party.

 I can't wait until we can have a first birthday party for our future baby!

 On the left is our new door. Much classier than the old "hardly ever shuts" door.

And on the right is Owlbert who now lives on my desk. He is made of a TP roll and Owlbert is also classy.

I have grown to love these little 5 pounders. Working out a little everyday. 

 We didnt have a place for all of my pins so I made this neat-o pin holder out of an old mason jar and some fabric. 

 The sunrises around here have been just wonderful. 

Peaceful. 

Bliss.

 Jared deciding jalapenos would look great on his finger tips. Hopefully he didn't rub his eyes... again..

 5am mornings. Bitter sweet. 

Make up and coffee half asleep.

 Sewing sewing sewing.

 Right now I am working on a dress, and a couple days ago I finished these sweet leggings!

Sorry I have not been posting a ton lately! Let's just say there is a lot going on in our little world.

Posting more soon!

Date #11 Work Out Partners and #14 Gyros

 Today, Jared did yoga and paliates with me. 

Isn't working out next to someone really awkward!?

I made funny puffy faces doing arm exercises and breathed heavy when doing crunches.

Thank goodness I got Date # 11 completed!

We added:

Feta Cheese

How to make Tzatziki sauce:

1 Cup sour cream

1 Cup plain yogart

3 TBSP of Oil

Ta-da!

I could not find any proper gyro wraps so I supposed gordita shells would do.

So tasty! I will definitely be making these again!

Only 11 Dates to go!

Facing the Fats... I Mean Facts!

Last night I ate about half a jar of pickles. I kept heading back and forth and back and forth to the fridge.
Last night I noticed my face was the most broken out it had ever been.
Last night I took off my (usually) loose wedding ring since it felt too tight.

Either I am pregnant, (which is very unlikely, but we would be SO EXCITED!!! AHHH!!!...But that is another topic!) or I am in a vicious circle of ....

I am eating more because I am gaining weight.

I am gaining weight because I am eating more.

This is so hard to break! Because I've stretched my stomach since my body has gotten used to eating food anytime I want, now I feel hungry all the time! I exercised 2 nights ago and I forgot how good it felt! There is such a high I forgot about! I am going to restart drinking at LEAST 60 ounces of water daily, take my daily vitamins, work out every night before bed and eat smaller, healthier portions. I have not started losing any weight yet, and according to my Wii Fit, I have actually gained 10 pounds since summer! I made myself a promise that by Christmas I would lose X amount of pounds, but that is going to have to be extended until New Year UUUUGGGHH! No matter. I will keep trying, but during the holidays is SO hard! Going to go exercise now... Hopefully a more positive update coming soon!
