Getting Healthy

I'm getting healthy. I'm blogging it because I'm owning up to it.

That's right. This is what I feel like....


This is what I use to feel like...oh I miss my bagel.


And getting healthy means getting healthy outside and in. Making better use of my time...as I blog...but in all seriousness, being better.

CAUSE
this is my reward.
PARADISE!!!!!
and I want to feel good when I get there.

Healthy, here I come....I'm going to report back on myself every week. and no more half marathons, sorry ladies, this jelly donut/miss my bagel and my good GI tract, is RETIRED....but I will still run, just not that far. So, through this blog, I'm going to own up big time.
no more secret stashes...is the freezer a secret?
no more trips to yogurtland...tear.
no more cheese.....depression.
but i will have a cheat day and it will have to be sunday because then I can't sneak off to yogurtland.

ugh.
BUT a good Ugh.

5 months

After 3 blowouts in one day we decided to try rice cereal. it was a disaster but so fun to watch her face as we tried to shove rice cereal in her mouth only to have it ooze back out at us. The best was the sneeze, we saw it coming, we did and we still watched rice fly at us like nobody's business.

we love our little bug. she is growing up too fast and the days keep going faster and faster now that I'm back to work.

Really? Why? Not sure. Again? Nope. Never.

That is the conversation I had with myself this week.
I accepted to run with some cute moms of our ward and do a half marathon......
earlier the week started out with a trip to the long beach aquarium which was a blast. Carly slept the whole time, she just got her shots, but we had a blast.
she is 90% in height and 75% in weight
our little rollie pollie.

then i got sick on wednesday. garlic?? what is wrong with me that I can't eat garlic anymore, it made me sick for two days. and then the big run came on saturday. I was fine until I stopped running and then I couldn't move and i spent the rest of the day next to my bathroom. gross.

after that momentous occasion, the run, not the bathroom....I have decided to never do that to my body again. 2-5 miles, okay, but really, 13.1 miles? no, i love my GI tract way to much to put it through that again. me and the GI have never been so happy...until that fateful day along the long beach marina. needless to say, my parents came and cheered me on and grandma rosell watched C so I could do it.

but the week ended with me recovering and turning the big 29. i'm old, I still feel like I should be 16 and invincible. i have to say that i really enjoyed my birthday. i got a long nap, a great meal, and was loved and surrounded by all my family...minus a few.....you know who you are slackers! jk.

now, back to work I go.
i'm going to cry so hard next sunday when i have to open that laptop.

4 months

4 months already?!!

how time flies when you are having so much fun. Well, my aunt Kathy sent this adorable outfit and I had to put it on for her 4 month photo shoot. Lately, I have not seen very many poopy diapers so I really debated putting it on this morning because I didn't want her to pooh all over it.

of course she had a huge diaper when she finally went this morning and it was the biggest diaper as of yet. I inspected carefully to make sure her adorable outfit was still white and not mustardy yellow. what, not a drop anywhere?? Really?!

i was so proud.

Then i started to clean her up and somehow my diaper skills are not where they should be, I managed to get poop on her outfit and her socks while I vigorously tried to change and clean up the bombshell. see photo.

Mom gets a D+ today and I'm ferociously washing the outfit now and getting it back on her.

by the way, she laughed and giggled the whole time i was changing her.
such a cool kid.

Mother's Day

don't laugh, this is the best picture we could get and we look like we have been through the war zone....nope it was just mother's day.

it was the best day ever though. i just choose not to do my hair or shower.....somedays.
it was the best day because we managed to spend time with both mothers. we also took a bike ride with the new bike trailer which is our new love except trying to bike up the big hill back to our house with NO GEARS. by the time i get up the hill i can barely walk because my big ole thighs are throbbing so hard. bentley, poor bentley, has her face pressed up against the window in the bike trailer hating her life. she would now rather ride in the basket, the basket she use to tremble in. Now it's the penthouse? Who would have thought.

anyway, it was a great mother's day and we are lucky to have awesome mothers in our lives. they love us and they love carly girl and even bentley girl.

as for the riding the bike up the big hill, my birthday is coming up and I think i might need to get a bike with gears...many many easy gears.

Swimsuit time

my mom bought C the cutest swimsuit so we decided to try it on. well, it only came to her mid-chest. its a 6 month suit and its way too small, but Joni thought hey, it might fit bentley. so of course we had to try it on and sure enough, Bentley rocked it. don't worry, it was only about 45 seconds of photos and then we let bentley go back to her lizard/ball chasing easy lounging life.






here is our little sweetie. her new thing is to sing herself to sleep, its quite comical and she loves to grab her dresses and eat them.

Moments

Wow, time is flying. This girl is already 3 months. She had her first Easter Egg Hunt, slept in Grandpa's arms the whole time during the crazy hunt. Johnny and I are not very good any more. We combined, still came in last place for finding the most easter eggs. whatever. maybe we can get our skills back.

Carly got her first Easter dress from Grandma Rosell, I wish I had a picture of how cute it was in her basket hidden behind the couch.

Carly's favorites: bath time. the beach of course, that is her dad's heaven on earth. she still loves to be swaddled and if she keep sleeping 9 hours every night, i'm going to keep swaddling. she loves to giggle and smile all the time.
