54 Days and counting

54 Days....until we arrive in Orlando Fl. Yep, as most of you probably already know, if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook....we're taking another trip down south and we're going to Disney for a week. I cannot wait, and Chloe is just as ecstatic!
But with that excitement, of course comes the "Oh Shit! I have to fit into a bathing suit and make it look good...."
So here's what I'm going to do about this!
54 Days, we're going to be here

And I'm going to need to look good in this.....

Sorry for the picture quality

How am I going to do that, you ask?

I found this courtesy of Shannon on her Motivational Monday post! Thanks Cuz!!

So, that along with a strict, low calorie diet, and the use of MFP....I should be fine. I've done this thing before where I ate nothing but chicken and sweet potatoes and greens 4 times a day, and I lost like 5 lbs of water weight in a week....I'm going to do that, closer to vaca time. But for now, it's going to be getting back to my goal weight and maintaining! Wish me luck, girls! I'll be posting pics of me in this bathing suit so we can see the progression :-)

Oh the things you can do in under an hour!

You really don't know what you are capable of getting accomplished until you are home alone without toddler...it's just nuts.
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are Andy's days to pick up Chloe from day care. So last Wednesday after weigh in at weight watchers didn't go very well...{gained 1 lb} I decided that I was going to go home and get on the treadmill for the first time in MONTHS! So, that's exactly what I did!! That felt sooooo good. I actually read a little bit of 50 Shades too! So after 30 minutes on the treadmill, I put a load of laundry in, took the clothes out of the dryer that were in there since the night before....started folding those. Then I stopped short on that to run downstairs to start the oven for Chloe's fish sticks for dinner. Went back upstairs to put Chloe's clothes away. {Yes, I'm aware I kind of have ADD when it comes to getting things done}
That's a lot of stuff if you ask me! I felt like a rock star Mama!!! And I have kind of made this my thing to do every Wed, Thurs and Fri after work now....I did it yesterday too! Well, I didn't quite do the whole laundry and dinner thing yesterday, but I went to Target WITHOUT child! AND did 30 minutes on the Treadmill when I got home! I ROCK!
What's the most you've been able to get done in a short amount of time without a toddler following you around hanging off of your leg?

I love Mail

Everybody loves getting mail, right? Like seriously...specially when it's things like this!!

This is my ThirtyOne Gifts order! I ordered these from my girl Mallory! She just started selling it, and she'd be more then happy to take your order if you are interested!! Hit her up if you want! She's such a sweetheart! This wasn't in my mail, but it was on my desk at work when I got there Monday morning! I got the over the shoulder organizer and the large utility tote!! I can't wait because I'm probably just going to pack all Chloe's essentials for our Maine trip in the utility tote!! And I'm already using my over the shoulder organizer as my purse! I LOVE it!!!

This, my lovely friends, is Chloe's Ah-Mazing 2nd birthday shirt!!!! It's from the lovely Deana from Isabella Inspired! Her Etsy shop is to die for, and I had a hard time picking just one thing! I cannot WAIT for her to wear this beauty! I showed it to her and her eyes LIT up!! Girl LOVES Minnie, and I can't wait to get all the decor figured out!

And, this...yes. These are samples from the Body by Vi! I saw her ad on Shannon's blog, and instantly had to contact her! I have been wanting to try the Body By Vi shakes for some time now...and I'm thinking that I might try the 90 day challenge! So, as soon as I try these shakes, I'll be sure to let you know what I think of them! I'm super excited!

So that was my exciting mail day!!! Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Not so Skinny jeans

After I gave birth to Chloe and lost the 20-30 lbs that I lost right away, I was in a size 9 skinny jeans. Not so skinny, right? Nope, not really.But, here is what I look like NOW in my size 9 skinny jeans! Hell to the YEA!!!!!

The only good thing about this picture is the fact that these pants are so big on me....but don't mind the bulge stomach! I had JUST ate, and I was drinking. So I was a little bloated. LOL!

You can't really tell from this angle that they are big on me, but you can see that they aren't pasted on me....seriously, these pants used to look painted on me! So, this is like HUGE for me.

I know this doesn't look like much, but these are the only jeans I have that I bought big that would show my weight loss. And they are skinny jeans, so of course they aren't going to look huge on me because they are the stretchy jean type. But the way they feel is all that matters to me!

300 Ab Challenge

So, it's been 2 weeks since I started doing the 300 Ab Challenge. It's been tough. And there have been MANY nights where I hadn't done it yet come 10:00, and I feel so guilty that I get my butt up and do it RIGHT then!! And let me tell you that after I do it, I always smile and feel SOOOO good that I did. It's a great feeling. I just keep on thinking about how great I'm going to look in Maine when we go in July! I cannot wait!!!! And to be able to fit into the bathing suit that I wore the summer BEFORE I got pregnant! Eeeek!!!!!

So, here you go. Day 1/Day 7/Day 14
