first off, my weight loss and getting healthy journey is going AWESOME! i've gotten to the point where I look forward to working out each day. it's my me time and i feel so much better and have way more energy when i work out! so, as of yesterday i will have been working out and eating healthy for one month and i have lost 11 pounds! plus, add that with what i lost before my foot injury and that brings me to 17 pounds in all! to reach my short term goal of being at my pre-pregnancy weight by seeley's birthday i only have 5 pounds left! so woot! i have a little over a month so if i can lose what i did this month that means i'll definitely make it and maybe i can be skinnier than i was to start with.

this brings me to my next thought! seeley's birthday is in a little over a month! seriously though, where did time go? i LOVE watching seeley grow and learn new things and everyday he makes me smile and laugh with the new and funny things he does, but part of me is a little sad to say goodbye to this stage. recently he's gotten pretty snuggly and i absolutely love it and it makes me sad to think that some day he wont want to snuggle and give me hugs and kisses. i probably don't mean it, but i wish he could stay where he is at now! he's gotten a little more independent and will walk around and keep himself busy, but every 15-20 minutes he comes back to me, snuggles, gives me some love, and then off he goes to play again. then again, i seem to say this about every stage! it really is fun to see him do new things and see him develop a personality.

so let's see, what else? everything for me and rey seems to the be the same.. rey working and school, me taking care of my cute lil man.. all i can say is i'm so excited for summer! rey has decided to take the summer off from school and is planning on working a ton, but since he'll have no school he wont have homework which will mean when he's home we'll have good quality time. i can't wait to play outside, go swimming, go on hikes, maybe go camping! seriously, i'm just so excited for this summer and to have some good ole family bonding time.

lastly, i know this is bad since i'm trying to eat healthy, but rey and i saw a new cupcake shop open down by our walmart and then saw that they won cupcake wars so we went there and OMG! best cupcakes ever!!!! we tried two of the flavors that they used on cupcake wars to win and even though they wouldn't be flavors that i'd normally go for they were so yummy and i can see why they won! we even got a few other flavors and yum!! i think this will be my new guilty pleasure! the one good thing is, instead of doing a weird fad diet i'm just doing some good ole calorie counting and somedays i have tons of extra calories so those will be the days that i may splurge and get me a yummy cupcake!
