So I've decided to restart this blog thing for anyone who cares to know what's going on with me. I figure I talk to most people who would want to know this stuff, but sadly not as frequently anymore. So here goes!
I guess the first thing is housing stuff. Tyler and I have officially started the process to look for a house. I spoke to a realtor that one of my coworkers recommended and he set up a website that has houses that meet with what we're looking for. So far we're just in the looking phase, but I'm glad we're at least doing that! Our lease is up at the end of October. Tyler talked to the leasing office today, and if we want to go on a month to lease, we have to pay an extra $150 a month, and that's definitely an expense we don't need! And we don't want to sign another year lease on this place. We want our own place!
The next thing I guess is my dieting/weight loss stuff. I started doing weight watchers at the end of January and lost about 30 lbs, but when I kind of plateaued wasn't following it all that well, I stopped losing eight, but at least I had already lost all the pregnancy weight (plus a few extra!) So about 2 weeks ago I started the South Beach Diet, and I've lost another 9 lbs! As much as I miss carbs, I don't miss that extra weight. Plus starting Monday I get to slowly add back "good carbs" to my diet--fruit, whole grains, starchy veggies. After I lose a few more lbs I'm going to treat myself to some new, and hopefully smaller, clothes. I'm not really happy with my appearance yet, but I'm happier, so that's a start.
Caleb just keeps getting bigger! I can't believe he's already 17 months old. At his 15 month appointment, he was already like 26 lbs, so he'll probably be close to 30 when he goes back for his 18 month! Yipes! It definitely comes from my side of the family, not Tyler's. He can say a few words, even a few in Spanish, and he knows some sign language. He's really mobile too! He runs everywhere, no time for walking.
So I guess that's about it. I'm going to try about once a week to post something, so hopefully I can hold myself to that. Apparently in my settings, I was only letting members post before, so I think I have it set up now that anyone can post!
