And training for the diva half begins

So glad to get back to running! It's been so long my lungs felt like they may hsve been on fire! Did triceps and chest weights after this run arms feel like J E L L O still.  
Loving these shoes! 

Cross training on my schedule for today but working a 16 soooo guess I'll call this my "rest" day althought ill likely get 10 miles of steps walking around the hospital instead.  

Have a fantabulous day!!!!

Shoppings fun right?


Uh, no, hell no! Not so much!  So I'm shopping the other day for something to wear to this wedding I'm attending this weekend and I go into dress barn to look around.  I've had good luck there before so I thought I'd give it a shot.  I'm looking around and this sales lady's like "that's the plus section" I was like ok.... "So does that mean you don't think I should be over here?"  

Cuz ya know my heads not caught up ever- I weighed 272 pounds had gastric bypass ( you know the easy way out- yeah right!) got down to 182 started gaining. Went back up to almost 200 and put the breaks on. Started running.  Got to 153. Was excited! Crazy excited!! 

Then got pregnant! SURPRISE!!! (I used to think surprise babies were something that just wouldn't happen to me but uhhh) 

 So here I sit at 183.something and feel plus think plus and always have even at 153!  

This conversation stirred some crazy emotions in me. I realized I don't even know what size I wear! What?!?!! What is wrong with me! How could I not know that?! 

  It doesn't help that sizing is freaking ridiculous as a whole! I can wear from a 14 to an 18?  Which is plus! Not that I'm wanting to be there but I am. The sales lady was obese and so starts the oh great she prolly thinks I'm nuts saying this and how doses someone not know their size?

 But I don't and I'm surely not alone in this body image hell thing I'm in!  

 I didn't find anything there so I went to Maurice's. Love that store!  Tried on some xl and xxl things that were too big! That makes no since! Anyway yeah shopping is just knock your socks off awesome! 

Let me go find some shoes those always fit!!!😜 I wore this one
The wedding was beautiful and we had a great time! 💜

Well hello!

So a lot has happened since I last wrote a post like this 
Sweetest lil baby in Texas!!  If all kids were like this mr handsome everyone would have 19 kids😍! 4 months old already!!!!! 4 month shots yesterday meant fussy baby poor lil boy! 

On the weight front I weigh in at this now
Uggg not where I wanna be.... Or was.... I'll get there! I started the 24 day Advocare challenge yesterday to help me get focused.  And I've been doing a free weight training regimen from bodybuilding.com jamie easons 12 week schedule.  Makes it less intimidating to do weights for me knowing I have certain things to go in and do! Love it feeling strong!  Also been making sure my fit bit hits 5 miles per day.  Done days this is a piece a cake..... Mmmmm cake..... Oh and some days not so much, but I'm making it happen. I have a closet full of clothes I neeeeed to wear!! 😜 

Have a wedding to go to tommorrow trying to decide which if these to wear 
Or

This? 

Hope alls well for you! Have a fantabulous day!
