ACTIVE Jack!!



I have not been very good about keeping any updates on Jack's progress. Rightfully so, I work daily and only get to update this during my 5 minutes of downtime at work...and I just haven't been great about that.

I have started the 30 Day Shred. Today will be my 4th day...long way to go. But I'm trying to keep my progress updated every couple days on the blog, to keep myself accountable!


Back to Jack!


Jack had his first cold/congestion. He had it for a total of two weeks. This week he has been so much better. It hurts my heart to see him not being able to breathe and coughing all the time. But it doesn't seem to effect him too much.


He is growing so fast and he is very tall. I think he is around 26" right now and 14 - 14 1/2 pounds.


Funny Story:

On Monday, Evan was a Walmart with Jack. A lady asked him how old he was. Evan promptly said he was 3 1/2 months old. She was shocked, she said, that's how big my 9 month old is. lol. He isn't fat, but he is tall. Hopefully he'll stay that way!!

Jack's eyes are still very blue! and He still has just blonde fuzz on his head. I love my little bald boy!


He is moving around like crazy. About a month ago he learned to push up on his legs. So anytime you are sitting with him, he wants to be standing on your lap. Which, if you have no arm strength like me, it's very exhausting. And when he is playing on his playmat, he kicks his legs to much he moves all over the mat.


Shown in the photo above, Jack LOVES to take baths!


Jack's 4 month dr's appointment is in a couple of weeks. So hopefully I can update more then!!






3 of 30

Yesterday was my 3rd day of doing the 30 day Shred. I had to convince Evan that since we don't belong to a gym anymore, that I needed my 25 minutes in the evening to do this DVD. It kicks my but, and I'm so sore. But it's worth it. Since I did not really do any excersize during my pregnancy or a little before, I'm so out of shape...but it's going good.

Haven't lost any weight yet, but I'm trying to eat better and do this work out daily! I really just want to get these last 19 pounds off by the end of September. So that's giving me 2 months to do it! More than anything, I need to tone up my stomach and loose some inches from my hips and thighs. That has always been the place that I gain my weight...it's those German genes.

Again, I'm hoping that being consistant in writing in the blog will help me be accoutnable with this workout!

Day 1 of 30

Yesterday I started the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. It is a workout DVD. It hurts. I did the DVD about 2 years ago for about a week, then stopped. I'm hoping that if I start writing on this blog daily that it will keep my accountable to the public.

Doing this becuase I still have baby weight to loose and tone up.

Weight Gained: 43 lbs

Weight Lost as of 7/25: 27 lbs

Weight Loss To Goal: 19 lbs

Crossing my fingers that I can get those numbers to where I want them in a suitable time frame. Today Evan started his new thing of getting up at 6:30am to run/walk. Hopefully he will stick with it. I'll keep that update as well.
