So just a few quick things cause it's late and I really should get to bed! 1st off I've decided that I've had enough of eating whatever I want! Since getting my gallbladder removed I have gained 10lbs!! WOW - I know, I think it's cause I was tired of my low fat lifestyle and one taste of what I was missing and I was hooked!! It's funny how the healthier you eat the more you crave good food but it seems like the crappier you eat the more you crave carbs and fat!? Maybe it's just me but I noticed the other day that my post pregnancy "fat" jeans are now getting tight and giving me a "muffin top"!! I refuse to buy any bigger pants but I'm tired of wearing sweat pants just to be comfy, so I going to start off the new year like millions of other women out there with the resolution to loose weight!! I would start sooner but my MIL puts on the best meal for Boxing Day and I really don't want to start my diet just to feel guilty about indulging in her feast! So, Dec 27th will be my official start date of the new me! I will have six months before I go back to work and I now have 30lbs to loose (to be at my pre-pregnancy weight) so it should be easy ... all I have to do is loose 5lbs a month - totally due able! I am also seriously thinking about joining NS again to help me get on track but I would have to go on the "bill me later" option so I'm not sure if I want to do that?! I'm so scared that I am going to be labeled as "the fat Mom with the fat kid", even though I don't feel that Jacob is "fat", his weight will fall off in no time.
I really need to start Jacob on more then just milk!! Yesterday we had dinner at my inlaws (cause family was here from Germany) and I decided to let Jacob try some of my mashed potatoes with gravy.... he LOVED them! Every time he saw the spoon get close to his mouth his hands would reach out and he would lean in with his mouth wide open!! I did buy one of those teething soothers you put frozen fruit in the little mesh bag thing and I have also learned that he LOVES pineapple (I posted a pic above), you can hear him sucking all the juice out of the fruit! I think this week I will have to start a feeding schedule and make 9:00am his cereal time and maybe at supper time he will get something else besides milk.
Next week my Mom group is having a little Christmas party thing with a Secret Santa gift, I'm really excited and looking forward to the get together! I made some Nuts N Bolts that I think turned out pretty good (at least that is what people have been telling me), I have been giving them away as "gifts" to friends cause the recipe made so much and it's kind of a cheap but personal gift! This Friday we have a dinner with the track workers and next Friday my work is having a small Christmas party (with Secret Santa again - that I still have to buy). Things aren't quite as busy this week, which is nice but then that means I have time to clean my house - which isn't as much fun as going out but the weather sucks so I'd rather stay in! That's about all for now - gotta go to bed now!

Hey Annie!!! Damn, a lot sure has happened since the last time I checked in with you. I was just updating my blogroll and found the link to your new site to see you have a BABY??!?!?!?! That's awesome!! He's so adorable and i'm so happy for you. I'll try to pop over more than once a year from now on. :-)
You can def do 30 pounds in 6 months!! I know it is hard to watch what you eat and have time to make good things for yourself, but make it a priority - you are worth it. Plus now you can make food for you and Jacob...get him eating some good filling healthy foods and life will be easier. We can now feed Charley pretty much whatever we are having for dinner (minus the spices and sauces) and it is great. Here is to a great next 6 months...but a slow 6 months..because going back to work will be no fun!
