Running

Oh dear. She's starting to run and get more adventurous. She loves just sitting outside in the grass playing with pieces of grass and pounding rocks together. She sure makes me happy. Last night we went to Cristian's mom's baby shower. She is due any minute and you can definitely tell! Her belly is so big, but she looked beautiful, the tacos were amazing and Violet had a really good time playing on the play ground (with supervision of course) with the other kids. She would get so excited. Bah! I love her.

Well we decided it was time for us to get our own phone plan, so we took care of that a few days ago. We're going with Sprint (I've always had AT&T) but I think it will end up being cheaper for us in the long run, especially because Cristian uses his phone ALL THE TIME at work. Anyway, pretty happy about that.
Violets birthday is coming up soon and I'm so excited. We decided that we are going to celebrate on the 17th and do a BBQ in our backyard. Hopefully we have  grill by then, and I can't wait to decorate the yard. I still can't believe she's almost 1. Time is going by so fast and she's getting so big!!

So many things to look forward to.
Speaking of Violet's birthday my goal is to lose at least 20 lbs by then. I haven't been losing actual weight. I've been losing inches, which yes, is good but I really don't want to be bulking up with muscle and not losing the fat off the top. I want it to go the other way around. I want to keep the muscle that I have and lose all the fat on the top. So I've been doing some research. The best way to do that is to walk, jog, run, or swim. I figure doing plyometrics won't hurt either so that's the new goal, and I need to re-evaluate my eating because it's not as good as it could be. I just need to focus back again on the reasons why I want to do this and the number one reason is Violet right now. Then Cristian. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to feel beautiful for myself.


So today we start anew :D
