Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 21 July 2014

The weekend was not long enough. My mom and sister came to steal the preteen for a month. Turns out I didn't get my weekend away from home. Instead they came all the way out to us so friday and saturday were a blurr of cleaning the house, getting groceries, and well.. attempting to make my home look half decent while a wrecking crew followed me around. The wrecking crew being little man. That had to burn extra calories right?? It will make up for all the cooking and eating we did Saturday night and all day Sunday. lol Which really wasn't all that bad either. My sister surprised me. She was diagnosed as being diabetic last October. She's always been a bigger girl. I believe mid to upper 200s but I've never asked. She has lost alot of weight. I think my mom said at least 50 lbs. It's inspiring. I'm now attempting to talk her into getting a fitbit so we can compete. lol She says she walks 6 miles a day. Started drinking healthy protein shakes. Has some strange obsession with asperagus. It's inspiring seeing a family member you never thought would change their way of life do a complete 180. She did keep asking me what size I was though. lol Sorry.. Maternity clothes are XL,L,M and S. The only things I've bought that have actual sizes still say 12 or 14. So.. I'm technically the same size. Just rounder. I wanted to tell her about fatsecret. I just couldn't.. Some things my family just doesn't need to know. lol Strangers?? sure! Mom?? Uh uh. Makes sense right??

Weight was at a slight uptick this morning but I've been officially weighing in on Tuesdays so I'll wait to see if any of it is just from eating differently. Still under 205.. Have my gym bag packed for lunchtime.. have a healthy day of food planned. If I can keep this up I might actually get back to prepregnancy weight before the kids are in college! Only 1 more month to go. And.. well a skinnier sister to keep up with. lol


Ooooh almost forgot! The leg hair incident. You know how when you're pregnant and so round you can barely tie your shoes that you can't really.. maneuver or well see places you could see before? Well with little man I had contractions come and go for 2 days before he finally decided to come. So I was all proud of myself. Had time to shave my legs.. above the knee even, had lotion so they weren't all dry skin nasty, even talked preteen into painting my toe nails. I was good to go! Until I got to the hospital.. and they put your knees behind your head.. and tell you to push.. Ok.. remember when you can't really see you can't be completely sure you're shaving everything.. you think you are.. but well.. maybe you aren't. For 6 months.. and your hair grows like crazy when you're pregnant. That's my excuse. For leg pits. The back of my knees became a leg pit that kinda looked like a 13 yr olds armpit who hadn't learned to shave yet. The doctor is telling my husband and nurse to hold my legs and I'm laying there yelling I've got it because I don't want anyone seeing my leg pits. So instead hubby watches the whole birth.. watches me get stitched up.. you'd think the man was watching the discovery channel. I was sure it had ruined our sex life. Moral of the story.. avoid leg pits and keep your husband next to your side or the next time you're pregnant he will claim.. "he's got this one" in case you don't make it to the hospital.
