Here is my new hair.


I love it. I got a cut and highlight by one of my best friends so she of course hooked me up since I have super duper long hair now. I tell everyone I am going to cut it before clinicals and they all beg me not too, specially Mary!

Not sure if I lost this week or not, Im SO over the scale. Seriously Im tired of thinking Im a failure if I gain 1 pound. I am also thinking that my body will not let anymore weight off, Ive been at the same weight it seems forever!!! Oh well I feel amazing and my confidence is through the ROOF! I even sang karaoke last week ALONE something I would never ever ever everrrr do in my "previous" life. I even had two guys ask for my number, I didnt give it out bc Im taken but its nice to be wanted by strangers.

I have the death

After dealing with Jett's sickness last week now its my turn. I have the death and I feel horrible. No wonder little guy cried and cried, I would too, that is if I had someone to baby me.

I miss my boyfriend so much right now =(. Anyone who knows him knows he is the emotional and loving one and I so need that RIGHT NOW. Thank God just four more months!!!!

The Cups Won man..

So down 4 pounds FINALLY! And what did I do? Bought a 20 oz Mountain Dew, a bag of Reese Cups for my grandma and some chicken tenders from BK. I admit the Reese Cups won against my will power. Tomorrow will be better, we all must have off days. Hey I did turn down the Great American Cookie company sample so score at least ONE for me

Gymboree was a lot of fun today, Jett did some "furniture walking" today ... where is my little man with colic always screaming?? Now he is just a little guy.... I love him so much. Tomorrow is his "birthday"...he will be 8 months old =) The best thing about Gymbo besides socializing him is his awesome nap times. We took a 2 hour nap today and he would of continued to sleep but I had to wake him up to go to Target. I actually let myself run out of baby formula. That has never happened before!! I bought the Target brand, I figure I have not tried switching formula since he was 4 months old, now that he eats everything I hope it wont have any negative effects. I guess we will see.

Now on to watch some Americas Most wanted and fight the urge for any more chocolate!

It's not so hard!

I have just about mastered belly dancing, of course I still suck at it but I do think I am about as good as I am going to be! I havent lost any weight, I am trying to figure out a way to get off this plateau! I wish I could cut out carbs or something but man I love that stuff! I have tried to cut down on them but always end up going over. Carbs add up fast! I love them though, love/hate relationship I guess! I AM NOT letting my body win this time though....I have lost 80 pounds.. a NEWBORN cow weighs that much and those things are huge. Ive lost a calf...that makes things interesting.

Jett is loving Gymboree, Ive started taking him four times a week. I'm meeting new people too which is always a good thing! I hope that when we move back to TN they have one in the area since I only know a few people there. I dont even want to think about leaving my family and friends right now so on to the next thing..

Jett got his new carseat..thanks Daddy! It took a mini miracle for me to figure out how to adjust the straps..now I just need to put it in the car. He is getting so big. My baby is crawling, pulling up on everything in sight and babbling all the time. I just bought him so many new clothes in 18 months and he fits in them!! He is not chubby but TALL !

Lazy becomes me

Yesterday in Lab we had to look over some spinal cord cells, and draw them. If I could only scan my drawing.. I am artistically disadvantaged for serious. I noticed there is another Natasha in my class as well, I am not sure which one she is though. One bad thing about having friends in your class is that you are less likely to get to know others!

Tomorrow is the end of my week so I plan to go to the gym then. Today I caught up on everything I let go during the week. And I have a NINE page essay I need to work on. Blah to that.

Yesterday was a great day=) We did the Gymboree music class and Jett loved it so its now going to be a weekly thing! I also got my stuff I ordered from Sephora. I am OBSESSED with painting my nails so I bought their new Sephora by OPI nail polish in Soy Latte and this awesome dark plum.. I wanted Metro Chic but it was sold out. I also got some misc things like green eyeshadow and some more body wash to add to my collection.
Monday I should be getting the things I ordered for Jett from Gymboree and Crazy 8. I cant wait!

XOXO

4 points and the Great American Cookie Company...

"You must do the thing you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt

My workout today was Belly Dancing!! I figured since I had a belly to shake why not? I have the same abs as everyone else they are just in hiding. Wow I never thought Belly Dancing would be such a workout!! There are 4 points to follow and it seems so simple...but yet I look like a robot out there. I have no grace. Oh well I will eventually. I know my back will be hurting tomorrow....I used the hell out of those muscles today.

Then I worked up another sweat at Jetts' gymboree class. WOW I guess thats why they call it a Parent/Child class!!!! Then add another 3 hours of walking around the mall...and I only spent 6 bucks...that is a FIRST! Im starting to just not enter Baby Gap!

I met up with my friend who was in from NYC, we have been friends for 22 years. INSANE! I met her in 1986. I like her boyfriend...she deserves someone good.

And my boo boo today was a delish frosted chocolate chip cookie... I would hate to know the cals in that sucker but oh well it was yummo!

Tomorrow classes start back so I might take the day off from exercise...not sure yet! My goal was to exercise 3x a week.. I wanted to set a realistic goal so anything extra is a bonus. I forgot to go to Walmart tomorrow so maybe shopping can count as exercise?

Gym Time

I think I am going to focus more on WL with this blog so it may get a little boring.

I went to workout today. I was lost during cardio class, I mean LOST. But you know what I just jogged in place until I could get in the groove and last 30 minutes! I was happy. I think once I know more of what is going on I'll work up more of a sweat. After Cardio I did 15 minutes of Yoga....yoga is one of the hardest things to do I think and I know I will feel like I was in a car accident when I wake up.

I did not eat all that great today. BUUUT I was under 300 cals for the day so at least I did not overeat. I plan tomorrow to go and get all the goods needed - pita, hummus, fat free cool whip, apples so on and so on to keep me from stopping for those happy meals. I hope to lose 20lbs by the time DB gets home...so I have four months. Since I have been losing so much slower lately I wanted to set a small goal.

After I go to the gym tomorrow Jett will be going to his Gymboree class!! I am also conteplating putting him in the 9am music class they have on Thursdays, I am trying to remind myself YES it inconviences my sleep time but he will LOVE it! Gymboree is 60 a month so I need to get my moneys worth. At our place they allow you to go to any of the classes in the age range of your child that you want so that is nice. Im not sure maybe all of them do this?
