A New Me!!!

Hi Everyone, much apologies for not keeping up with this blog.  I have been in a bit of a slump lately and just haven't felt motivated to do much.  My neighbor lost her 2 year battle with stomach cancer on Friday June 15th.  It was a sad day, but I am so glad she is no longer struggling. On top of that  I have been frustrated with the last 14lbs of my pregnancy weight and how I can't seem to shred the weight. Yet what I am cooking is healthy and Kevin seems to be losing and is the lightest he has been in years.  I found out that its because I was breastfeeding and some people hold onto the weight in order to produce milk. Well unfortunately, Ivy has decided she doesn't want to breastfeed any longer so as of this week that is officially over. I would like to lose 5 more lbs on top of the 14.  So I have decided to move forward and get out of this slump I am in. So starting this week, I am working on a New me. Working from the inside to the out!!  I am starting with my spiritual side and working on my body as well.  I am excited and will update you as I take on this journey!! I will try to do weekly Ivy posts as well. I know that is why most of you check this blog to begin with. I didn't have very many people reading this blog until she came along.  I am so behind. So in the next few days I will post some pics and videos of her to get you up to speed. I will not just post about her like I have since she has been born. I will blog about other things in our life as well!!  Tomorrow I will blog about the fires and get you up to date on them as well!! I have added a ticker on here so you can see my goal and the progress I am making on my weight loss. If its anything like the last few months it will start out going up and down until my hormones get back to normal when my milk dries up!! Sorry if I am sharing more information then you want to read but as most of you know me I just say what I am thinking and there is no TMI in my world!!! As you can see I put on 2 lbs which I am sure it water weight!!  Just a side not the picture on my ticker is a pic from the lake years ago , I think even before Kevin and I were married. We were on a boat ride!! Its one of my favorite pics and since my goal is to be bikini worthy again I thought it was a great pic!!
