Andy and I met up with some of our friends we hadn't seen in a few months. We had such a great time. I was a good girl and ordered Bacardi and diets=0 calories. I was being such a "good girl" counting calories that I kinda, maybe sorta forgot to count the number of actual drinks I had. Yeah....let's just say I'm WAY too old for this crap. Hahaha. I'm hurtin' big time today.
Going to the gym later will be quite the experience. I just hope I don't sweat and smell like booze. Hahaha.

Uh-Oh....Spaghetti-O's!
I'm not quite sure what my problem has been these past two days, but I just cant' find an ounce of motivation. I kept track of my calories, drank my water, yadda yadda yadda, but I didn't exercise yesterday. Somewhere TD's ears are burning and he's shreeking I'm sure. EEEEEEE!! Lol. I've just been so dranined with Alleyna being sick and not eating or sleeping as normal. I didn't feel like doing a damn thing. And you know what kills me the most. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME!!!! ARGH! I'll just chalk it up to a bad day, yet remember now I felt at the end of the day. Disappointed in myself. I see Jessi and Sarah dropping the lbs left and right, and that in itself has given me a little spark to suck it up and get going. (SO PROUD OF YOU GIRLS!!!!)
I gotta shake this.....I've got a lot of work to do!

CrAzY
Today was an incredibly crazy day! I got to work, and no later than an hour passes by when my sister calls me to tell me that Alleyna won't stop crying and is refusing to eat or drink. (She's had a cold for the past three days). At that point, I knew it was time to go to the doc. Found out the poor lil' peanut has an ear infection, sinus infection, and croupe. They gave her a steroid via injection and amoxicillin for both infections. Let's pray she's doing better.
So, once she was settled in, Andy took over and I hit the gym. Did 2 miles, one each on the treadmill and the elliptical prospectively. I have also found a new love. THE SAUNA. AHHHHH! It's hot, I sweat my ass off, but it just feels so damn good. I feel incredibly refreshed after spending 15/20 minutes in there. You HAVE to try it. It's AH-MAZING.
All in all, good day today. Hit 1120 calories, barely made fiber...gotta keep an eye on that. Good luck to my ladies weighing in on Saturday. Two more days! Make em' count! I'm proud of you both! :)

It's been 16 Days....
Hello Everyone!
This is my first post on the new blog. I'm not quite sure how I feel about starting a blog, or if I will be able to keep up with it, but we'll see how it goes.
You're probably wondering why I have a blog called, Bye Bye Baby. No, its not some teenage angst, I hate the world blog, but rather a sweet kiss goodbye to the life I've been living so far. What I mean is, it's time to become the old Ashley, in a physical sense.
In December 2003, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Isabella. I gained 60 lbs. Six years later, I had another lovely and beautiful daughter Alleyna. I gained 3o lbs. While I lost the baby weight with Alleyna, I still had that ugly 60lbs sticking around, hindering me from living a life I used to live. I longed to be my, active, able to run around without getting out of breath five minutes later self. It's pretty sad that after six years I still have lingering baby weight. Now, don't get me wrong, if you're a mom reading this and thinking, "Who does this bitch think she is? All mom's carry post baby weight." That's fine. Go ahead and think that. I'm not one to stop YOUR happiness. However, my happiness is MINE. I am choosing to lose the baby weight, become a better and happier person-not for you, not for "society", but for my girls, my husband, and most importantly myself.
I joined the FAST program through work January 12, 2010. To this date I have lost 9.6 lbs in just two weeks. It's hard work, a lot of dedication, ups, downs, rollercoaster days, and being accountable for what I put in my mouth. I have to admit that after these 16 days, I already feel better! I am sleeping better, have more energy during the day, and tend to be in an overall better mood. My self confidence has greatly improved, and there's nothing but improvement ahead of me.
So, sit down, shut up, and hold on....this is going to be one hell of a ride!
Peace & Hugs,
Ashley
