Just Another Manic-Depressive Monday

Ok not really, well yea really, but for good reason! I did the most horribly depressing thing today...got on the SCALE! Que the sad violin music please! So it's time to start that good ole weight loss journey yet again! Goal weight 135-140, starting weight...198! YUCK! I guess it's better than my original post labor weight which we will not get into! But anywho, weight, why is it always a woman's worst enemy?! Anyone who knows me, knows I've struggled with mine my entire life. I've been the overweight kid in elementary school and the borderline eating disorder adult. It's been an extremely difficult emotional roller coaster ride and trying to find a method that takes the weight off and helps keep in off is an even harder ride. Don't get me wrong, I love working out. I would stay in the gym all day if I could, unfortunately I have work, house work, a husband, a baby, and I even get to sleep sometimes! If you know of any way to balance all of that out, please let me know! Until then I'm going to go enjoy a piece of chocolate cake! Ha ha!

Conflict of Interests?

So with the new year vastly approaching us I decided it was time for a "new" me. Of course like everyone else's resolution one of mine is to lose weight (having gained an enormous amount from the pregnancy) and with that I want a new wardrobe. After looking through like a billion pins on Pinterest, I compiled a board full of looks that I'm pretty much in love with. I'll call my style "Prepster Mom", but here's where my conflict comes in. Along with a new wardrobe, I'm thinking about getting a new tattoo...but not just any small cutesie little tattoo, a half sleeve! I've done some looking and finally decided on a concept. It hasn't hit the drawing board yet for personal touches, but all in all I'm pretty set on what it's going to look like. So I guess you're all still wondering where the conflict is since I still haven't mentioned it. I still want to be that tattooed funky fun person, but with a very soccer mom look...is that weird? Yes, no, maybe?
