After I finished nursing I packed on the pounds which made my heart sad. I always dreamed of being one of these pregnant people who lost the weight right after baby, the weight came off when nursing, but then returned. I am trying to use my summer break to get back to the gym and start the slow process of losing weight... Wish me luck. I made it to the gym three times and did some swimming.
I think what makes hitting the gym easier is that Brandon is fully supportive. He wants me to use our gym membership and get in shape so I can run and play with Olivia... Which I can right now, don't get me wrong it's not that much weight on, but you know what I mean. I love coming home and seeing what they have been up to while I am gone... This past week I came home to find them watching sleeping beauty.... How sweet is that!!
On Wednesday I had the chance to go to a baby shower for a friend of mine from elementary school, Meghan. She currently lives in the states but was home for a visit with her sweet husband Tyson. Her mother lives in a really cute neighbourhood in Bedford, and had a really lovely baby shower. Delicious snacks, fun games and great company. I always love a girls night out, we all drove to the shower together so it was nice to have some catch up time. I am blessed and I know I always say this, but I am blessed to have these ladies in my life- such wonderful friends!!
{this pic is the prime example if why weight needs to be lost}
Meghan is about 17-18 weeks along in this picture. The following day they found out that she is indeed having a baby GIRL!!! We couldn't be more thrilled for Olivia to finally have a little girl friendcoming along, she is out numbered by the boys right now!

I know you can do it Karen... I am so in the zone... being healthy is at the top of my list. I am sure you will feel so much better. I have been walking and eating healthy for 23 days.. 15 pounds down... ;-)
It's the exercise and eating that work. Drink lots of water!!! You can do it! You do have some great friends!
Love you!!
It's so hard when food tastes and feels so good! I find if I can power through 3 days of sugar/junk withdrawl I feel SO MUCH better on the other side. I don't even care about my size, I just feel better! For the record, I think you look great!
Loved seeing you at the shower! :D
