YUMMY!!!!!!!!

Like I said in a previous blog David and I are trying to eat healthy. We both want to lose some weight and get in shape so we can look good when we get married this summer. So I have been on the internet a lot trying to find recipes. Well I found an awesome recipe for honey and ginger mahi mahi!!!! I made it last night with some sauteed zucchini, squash, and asparagus and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! The fish literally took like 5 minutes to broil in the oven. I found mahi mahi fillets on sale at Food Lion this week and was scared because I have never made them before. Mahi mahi is my favorite fish so I decided to buy them anyways. Well, they turned out really well. The recipe calls for low sodium soy sause, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and scallions, and you toast sesame seeds to put on top. Each fillet only has 150 calories! I was so excited!
Let me just say this too~ David is the most awesome man ever! I can try new things and experiment in the kitchen and he NEVER complains. I love to cook so I am all the time trying out new recipes. I hate making the same thing over and over. Well, my sweet David will eat whatever I make and if he doesn't like it he won't actually say he doesn't like it. He will say, "It's not my favorite thing you have made." Isn't that cute? So anyways, I am excited about my fish recipe. I definately will be making this again!

TGIF!!!

This has been the LONGEST week! It's weird because it was actually shorter by one day because of the snow. I am so glad that it's going to be warmer this weekend. I got one of those jogger strollers for a baby gift so I am going to put it to good use this weekend. Wesley and I are going to run! Yay!!! I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys some sunshine!

UUGH!!!!! I HATE BABY WEIGHT!

I am so upset with myself! I had this idea in my head that by month three after having Wesley that I would be in great shape and have lost all my weight. Ummm...could I be any less realistic? I gained 40 pounds with Wesley (I know I KNOW!!!!!) Well, I have lost 30. But, I want to lose like 30 more to be where I want to be. I am frustrated because I can't afford a gym membership, but it's so freaking cold outside! I couldn't possibly run outside! (Am I making excuses or what?) So needless to say, my unrealistic goal of being in this fantastic shape after three months of having him has not been met. Wesley turns 14 weeks on Friday. Another thing that frustrates me is that everything shifts after you are pregnant. I don't think that anything will be the same again. It's true when they say that your body is never your own once you are pregnant. But, the end result is well worth it!

My best friend

I realized the other day that I really haven't posted anything about David. So I decided that I would today. I have known David for like 10 plus years. We went to the same church and he played in the youth orchestra and I sang in the choir. I always thought he was really cute, but was shy at times because he is 3 and a half years older than me. Anyways after awhile we tried dating several times in the course of the ten or so years and it never worked out until July 4th weekend 2009! Woop Woop! We went to the lake and it's history from there! The great thing about David is that he loves me for me. I don't have to pretend to be someone that I'm not. I can be my silly crazy self and it's ok. He is an amazing dad and a hardworker. Most of all I love that he is my best friend! I have never had as much fun with someone as I do with him. When I'm not with him I wish I was and when I'm with him I don't want to leave. He treats me the way every girl wants to be treated. I am so lucky to have David in my life! I love you babe!!!!!

New Year/ New Me

Thank God it's a new year! I love new years because we have a whole year of new beginnings. I just hope that I stick with all my plans that I have mapped out for myself. I don't necessarily have "new years resolutions", but I have lifestyle changes! I know, they are prob the same thing, but lifestyle changes sounds a lot better. First off I want to take better care of my body. Now that I am  a mother I want to be healthy for Wesley so that: A- I can be active with him and B- Be able to set an example for him. I really want to try this year to eat everything as organic and fresh as possible. I also am going to get my butt back into gear and start doing yoga again. I love yoga! I love the stretching and meditating and the way you feel when you practice it! You just feel so fresh and renewed! I just got off track when I was pregnant. (I seriously got super lazy while I was pregnant with Wesley) So I am super excited about this year and what is to come. Oh yea! Another exciting thing about this year is that I think David and I are going to finally get married! So that is definately something to look forward to! I hope you guys had a great new years and that you stick with your "Lifestyle Changes". I like to remember this too- if you fall short one day you always have another day to start over!!!!
