Easter 2009

Here are some more pictures from Easter 2009. Lots of fun!

About a month has past since starting P90X. I have seen results! I wish I took pre-test photos, but here is a current one of me. I have muscle again! Not to mention, I have lost 5 or 6 solid pounds, not water weight. I can tell a difference in my clothes because I can now fit into some things that I haven't been able to in over a year. And plus I feel amazing.

This week I have a recovery week (just cardio and stretching), and then I'm right back in it for month 2. It's going to get harder again because I'm going to be starting different DVDs for the next month. But pain is beauty because I will just see more results!

I'm really excited that I have actually stuck with it for this long. I still have a while before I'm satisfied though. I have 7 more pounds of pregnancy weight and then another 5 pounds for vanity's sake.

I talked with my mom the other day about losing weight after babies. She is amazing in that she said she lost all the weight within 3 months with every baby (she had 11!) except the last one (way to go, Angel, hee hee). How did she do it? Still a mystery. But I was wondering how you other moms did it? What are your success stories? I would love a little input!

Happy Easter 2009

I am excited for Easter 2009 for the following reasons:

1. It will be the last holiday (besides birthdays) that we will celebrate in Utah.
2. It will mark the glorious day when I can again eat sweets (remember Lent? I have stuck with it!). I still haven't decided which sweet I will eat first: icecream, cookies, Easter candy. There are just too many choices!
3. Brian's parents are coming into town and they can see Mariah. Marlena hasn't seen Mariah since Christmas, so this weekend will be a treat.

Oh, and I did a photo shoot with Mariah today. Can you believe that she's almost 7 months already?? This weekend she figured out how to roll over from back to tummy. Now she rolls all over the floor (I guess I have to start vacuuming more often now). Here's some footage from one of the first times she did it. I bet she'll be crawling in another month or so. She's growing up so fast!
