So... I haven't been posting, mostly because I went a little wayward. We went away for a few days and then Chad was on vacation for a little over a week so my schedule was messed up...enough excuses. This week I have been back on track. I have not been snacking and I have exercised everyday for at least 30 minutes. I am drinking lots of water. I am not sure of total weight loss, but I know I have lost some. That is the goal.
I was thinking about doing a juice diet since I know a few people who have had success with it lately but I feel like it would be expensive. I would still have to cook regular meals for Chad and Sophie. I would like to try it, maybe someone could let me know how much fruit/veg is required for a week.
Anyway, I will try to be better at posting...I am determined this time to lose the weight. Every time i get tempted to eat something i shouldn't, the reasons I want to reach my goal pop into my head.
Any other motivational tricks/ tips are welcomed.

Day 1 and 2
Day one went well. I did everything I wanted to do. I exercised, didn't snack, drank lots of water. I always find that the first couple days, even weeks sometimes, are easy to have determination when it comes to getting in shape, and then I get lazy with it, so lets hope this keeps up.

This time!
So over the years I have been setting goals to lose weight and never following through. Starting today I am trying again, this time it is going to work! I thought that if I post about the beginning, and every day, or every 2 days depending on how busy things get, i post about my progress I will be able to attain my goal. I am not going to tell my starting weight yet as i am just too embarrassed by it. I will say what it was when I start to lose. I will also post "before and after" pictures as I lose as well.
I currently am eating whatever I want whenever I want. I usually skip breakfast, I dont drink enough water, I dont exercise. So I am not going to try any crazy diets, my plan to start out is that I am going to start drinking 8 cups of water everyday, I am going to exercise at least 5 days a week, i am going to start eating more healthy foods, cutting out snacks and not eating after I finish supper.
I realize I haven't been keeping up with my blog, so if no one is reading this that is fine, it is still a way for me to track my progress, however, if there is anyone still reading that has some tasty healthy recipes, please let me know.

Think Blue...
On this past Tuesday we went to 3d Miracles to find out if baby number 2 is a boy or girl. To my amazement we are having a BOY! I really didn't have any feelings as to whether this baby was a boy or a girl but I think I just assumed it was going to be a girl. On Chad's side of the family, by the end of Sept there will be 8 grandchildren, and including our little guy there will be 2 boys. Quist's mostly have girls so I am a little shocked. But excited. I cant wait to dress him. I generally like boy baby clothes over girl stuff. It just think it is cuter!

Eating Habits
We have been in New Glasgow for the last 6 and a half weeks, and we have about a week left. Chad has been taking a course for work and after this and one more big exam on the 30th he will be a full Electrician. We are pretty excited for him to finish! Anyway, we have been staying at my parents place and it has been great. Sophie's has been growing so much while we were here and it was good that my family could she her progress. She is a funny little baby. She is a talker, and a starer. I think she could take anyone in a staring contest. However, I have a pretty hard time feeding her. She tried cereal first, and seemed to like it, then I gave her peas... I have a video of her first experience with peas which i will try to post later but oh man it's funny. She gaged like 3 times. Carrots are the same, she is not a big fan. And now I think that whenever I put a spoon to her mouth she thinks i am giving her peas or carrots and keeps her mouth shut pretty tight, even if it is just cereal. I hope she gets over it pretty quick.
