Baby S's been teething for months now. She started drooling back when she was 3 months old. I thought o'boy she's already teething, fast forward 4+months and finally the first tooth is here. Poor baby is not having an easy time with it. She wants to chew on things so bad, but every once in awhile she will hit that sore spot on her gum and out comes the tears.
We went out to Panera Bread's for lunch today ( which has become one of our favorite lunch spot. After we got our food and settle down at our table a nice "grandmotherly" lady started talking to the Baby. It is alway fun to see other people get such a kick out of the Baby and the Baby was really enjoying the interaction. Baby has been very vocal lately when we go out.
She will talk and scream....maybe just testing out her vocal skills.
Another skill that Baby is trying to master is crawl. I really don't think she knows that's what she's doing. Baby just can't seem to get the right arm underneath her so she ends up rolling over.
I am trying to be as bad as I can this weekend as I will start my " new life style" on Monday. As I mentioned before I am doing a Biggest Loser Challenge with a friend. The funnist thing is that when we weight-in today we weight the same. My goal is 60lb but my mini goal for now is just 10lbs. So wish me luck and hope the pounds just melt away. Oh, and I am very excited to get my Beachbody Power90 on Monday. I am not "man" enough to start out on the P90X but hopefully by the end of the Challenge I will be able to do the P90X program.

New Start
So much have happened my last post.
Since last Feb, I got pregnant, went on 15wks strict bed rest, bought a house, had the baby 3 wks early and moved into the new house.
Needless to say there wasn't much time to update my blog, even though I had 15wks of "free time".
My baby Samanths is just abolutely the best baby ever and I am just over the moon in love with her.
I am going to start blogging again because there are so much going on in my life right now.
I starting a Biggest Loser Challenge with a friend ( starting nxt monday), have to decide a career before 5/20, starting a blog for parents with babis and tots, and the whole raising a baby and running a household thing.

Relaxing Sunday Morning
Sunday morning is always just a little bit lazier then any other morning during the week. Breakfast: 2 turkey sausage 1 egg 2 cups hot tea
Lunch: 3/4 Atkins bar
3 miller lites
Dinner:8 wings@ wild wings cafe
5 hot shots ( sausage and cheese ball)
2 Coors Lights
1 Mich. Ultra
1 slice of cheese cake with no crust
Kit and I finally won our first Mix ALTA match this season today ( ALTA is a doubles tennis league ). We had a good match not a great match but a good match. We won 6-0, 6-4. We should have won 6-0, 6-0. Anyway that doesn't matter now it's over and we won, but our team lost today winning only 2 out of 5 lines. We should have played line 1 but we didn't .... I think it's because we didn't win last week.

Another Day Down
This morning I woke up just fabulously hungry and really looking forward to breakfast. I was getting ready to take the dogs out and get something to eat when Kit came home, he had left his security id at home and was not able to get up to his office. So the first thing that came into my mind was yummmmmmm breakfast out, maybe a biscuit or hash browns ( notice all the carbs ). Then I thought wait a minute you can't eat that kind of stuff silly Jess ( Oh and Kit told me that he had Hardee's for breakfast already). So on to my turkey sausage and cucumber slices ( I ran out of eggs last night ).
Today's weigh in is lost of 2 more pounds.
Breakfast: 2 turkey sausage 120 cal. 1 carb.
8 slices of cucumber 16 cal. 3 carb.
2 TBSP of garlic and chives whipped cream cheese 60cal. 1 carb.
Snack: didn't have a snack today.
Workout: Walk/Run- 32min. 2.18mi.
Run: 3/4mi @ 5mph
Walk: 1 1/4 mi @ 3.5 - 3.8
Crunches: 30
Alphabet medicine ball
Lunch: chicken salad ( made with mojo chicken breast, celery, parsley, 2 TBSP light mayo, yellow mustard and salt and pepper ) 210 cal. 2 carb.
2 cups mixed lettuce with evoo and red wine vinegar 110 cal. 2 carb.
cherry chocolate diet dr. pepper
Snack: 8 almonds 170 cal. 2 carb.

Total: 1071 cal. 21 carb.
There is this theory out there that all runners are stick thin. So I am trying to turn myself into a runner (so I can be stick thin ... good logic right?!?). This is a hard process not to be taken lightly ( as I have read on the runner's website). You have to take into consideration that I use to be the kid in middle school that would get a band pass (or any excuse) not to go to gym class ( needless to say I was a chubby kid... cute but round). But anyway, I am on this new mission and it's actually not too bad so far. Today is the 4th day that I am on this new program, and if you follow it correctly by the end of the 9th week you will be able to run a 5k with no problems. I have to say the actual running part is not fun at all and if there isn't a wonderful TV( turn to either The View or something on Food TV) in front of me, I don't think I would be running/walking (or anything) for 30 min.. But there is this reward at the end of the workout that is just fabulous. I call it the afterglow. This is the feeling of just absolutely wonderfulness ( is that a word? ). When everything just seem so clear and you feel like you are just floating for about 20 to 30 min. I guess real runners would call it runner's high and I do have to say that I highly recommend anyone to start running just for this feeling ( is it better then sex... maybe/maybe not ).

Tough Tuesday....TGIW
Late last night I was almost ready to give up on myself. I was craving something doughy, chewy and sweet. Just a little of something would do, but I know if I have a little of something I will not go back on the "lifestyle". I was very in the woe is me kind of mentality ( such a spoiled brat ).
Kit and I played tennis last night and that was a miserable experience as well. I am very hard on myself when it comes to tennis and I take it out on myself and Kit ( woe is him ). The bad sportsmanship comes from never playeing sports before. I just expect myself to be sooooo much better then I am. I need to really realize that tennis is a good way to exercise and socialize ( going back to one of my new years resolution ). From now on it's going to be all smiles on the court or maybe just a fake smile (it's going to be tough).
Weighed myself this morning only lost 1lb..... maybe. Today is a new day so here I go with the smile.
Breakfast: 1 deviled egg 100 cal. 1 carb.
2 turkey sausage 120 cal. 1 carb.
Coke cherry zero
Snack: 2 colby cheddar cheese 160 cal. 0 carb.
10 olives 50 cal. 0 carb.
Lunch: 1 mojo rotisseri chicken breast w/o skin 180 cal. 0 carb.
2 cups mix lettuce 20 cal. 2 carbs.
2 TBSP blue cheese yogurt dressing 70 cal. 2 carb.
spinkle of cheese and bacon bits 40 cal.
Workout: walk/run 30 min 2 miles
run: 1/4 mile @ 5mph
walk: 1 3/4 miles @ 3.5 - 3.8 mph
crunches: 50
Snack: 1 sugar free jello 1o cal. 1 carb.
Dinner: 6oz. garlic lemon roast pork 330 cal. 2 carb.
1 cup zucchini sautee in olive oil and butter 80cal. 3 carb.
scrambled eggs w/ grape tomato 90 cal. 3 carb.
Snack: 1 sugar free jello 10 cal.
4 TBSP Cool Whip 50 cal. 4 carb.

Tuesday...... Day 2
I like to start out each day by weighing myself, if I don't do this I tend to start to gain weight. So I guess it's a good way for me to keep myself honest about FOOD.

Snack: 1 big stalk of celery 5 cal. 1 carb

It's especially tough tonight, I am feeling hungry and I am not really hungry. I am going to go and have a couple of sugar free jello and call it a night.

Today I started back on my low carb life style again. I have gained so much weight lately that I really need to stop eating all the " white " food so I don't end up gaining back the 54lbs that I worked so hard to lose.
