Flawed Life: Naked Baby

Last night after Lily's bath, she escaped the bathroom and ran down the hall butt naked saying "Naked Baby Naked Baby" our affectionate nickname for her post bath. She ran right into the play room and into her new playhouse.

Lily: "House House Naked Baby House" Dancing all the while.

:PppppppppSSsssssssss:

Lily: "Uh-oh Pee Pee Uh-oh Naked Baby House uh-oh"

Then she ran out of the house.

Gives a whole new meaning to the word outhouse huh? It has been a crazy, yet funny week with her. I was rolling. Hey at least it wasn't on the carpet.

Flawed Life: I just threw up in my mouth

This weekend I decided to be nice to my husband and give him a haircut. We normally do this outside or in the shower for easy cleanup. It was cold so the shower it was.

I am cutting along all the while keeping one eye on Lily. She is going through the drawers and playing with my makeup. But then I look back and she is gone.

:Splash Splash:

WTF?

I peek around the corner and she is full on splashing in the toilet water.

"NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Lily stops. Looks at me. Sticks out her tongue.......

Then licks her hand.

:Gag:

I suck again.

McFatty Monday...you mean I have to give up BEER?

But alas it is another new year. Last year Michael and I wowed friends and family with our South Beach Success. Michael lost 50 pounds and I lost about 35 pounds. Whereas I am still at my prebaby weight with the help of the diet...all the weight I lost beyond that is sitting nicely on my arse. I have been very successful with South Beach in the past. After the first two weeks of mental reset the diet is easy and gives good results. The cooking is reasonably compared to what I do now just less to no pasta. I recommend it to anyone wanting to start losing weight. It is how I lost my baby weight. And in about three months once I started the diet when Lily was nine months old. You know the 55 POUNDS I gained with Lily. Wow it is hard to believe I carried that around. It is how I got out of the 16 jean and slid into a 12 for the first time since my freshman year. It is how I started feeling normal again after my body exploded from child birth and although the scales say the same number the body does not agree. Now I am a jiggly mess that only some plastic surgery can rectify.

So I am begining McFatty Mondays as seen on http://theheirtoblair.com/ as of this Monday, aka TODAY!

What are the reasons for the recent weight gain? Where do I begin. Let's see I want to take you back to July when I spent ten glorious days in Europe with my ultra hot hubby. I mean I was in Europe! I couldn't diet in EUROPE! But honestly we didn't gain that much back on the trip. I think it was the walking.

But then we return and what is right around the corner? Eadsfest 2009. Yes our annual Beer Olympics. You know the one my husband made me TRAIN for every night in our garage after Lily was sound asleep for a MONTH. The one that my husband yelled at me about when I didn't want to finish the twelve pack chugging contest. Yes that is the one.

Hey I did walk away a champion of Eadsfest. But I seem to be carrying a keg around since...on my gut. Is anyone surprised this is my husbands fault? Or the beer's fault? Or just my fault for having a low tolerance post baby. I think that is actually a bonus when not involved in a beer Olympics.

But this isn't a blame game. It is a motivation game. So as of today I restarted my SBD with a goal of losing twenty five pounds in 2010 as my large goal. But my realistic goal is ten to fifteen pounds by summer. That will get me down to my lowest last year and lowest post baby. Heck lowest in awhile and back into the 12 jeans sitting down because right now those jeans are only made for walking....

If only you could see the Chicken and steamed broccoli in front of me now.....yum

Oh and guess what is right around the corner...Eadsfest 2010. An effort in futility.

Santa Explosion

This is what my porch looked like after Christmas. Wow! I think I need to leave my garbage man a tip. It was really worse after we cleaned out the garage and got rid of the kitchen and clubhouse boxes, etc.

After taking apart the million upon million of twisty ties from an ungodly amount of gifts this is the aftermath I am left cleaning up. :Sigh: I am a tree killer. Wouldn't it be easier to just have the toys ready to play with instead of wasting all this money on fancy packaging?

But what post would be complete without a few cute pics of Lily enjoying the cause of the trash? Aunt Tanya's Magna Doodle was a hit.

And of course had to be played with in the new house, as all toys have been dragged to in the last couple of days.

She is getting so big!

Bonus Room Post Christmas Explosion

After struggling to get the clubhouse into the Bonus/Playroom we had to do some rearranging and decluttering. I spent some time going through a lot of Lily's stuff including her old clothes and toys. We sorted them for an upcoming consignment sale. This is the finished product.

The house fit nicely and she loves it!

Her desk

Her new art station from her Aunt Shannon (who bought her paint....THANKS!) Yes that got packed up but she loves the chalk and crayons.

Her new vanity that Mimi found in someones trash and cleaned it up and bought new accessories. SCORE!

We also have a bigger TV in here now. We replaced our bedroom one so we have a 32 inch in here now but I took the picture before we got to that part.

Michael and I got somethings accomplished with our week off including this room, the consignment sale sorting and cleaning out our attic and storage eve and the garage. Not a bad week. Oh and we put together his basketball goal from his birthday. Yay for productive week. And yes we took Lily to daycare most days. Hey it is the only way you can get it all done!
