My reality check!

I had a baby 7 weeks ago..... wow that went fast!.. anyways. I had my 6 week postpartum check up, and I look good and all but the Dr. said what all Dr's have wanted to say to me my whole life. " You have the WORST medical history I have ever seen!" She only said that because, well, I do! Heart disease, Diabetes, cancer, asthma, stroke, high blood pressure, high colesteral.... the list just goes on and on getting worse and worse!
So she says to me that I need to make sure I stay on top of my weight and make sure Im active and eat healthy because with my dad having the kind of heart attack at the age he did Im a good candidate for one and my brothers are at an even higher risk! Needless to say I already knew this, And I have been working on it for the last year and a half. But she said it and it freaked me out yet again!
Also My little girl has a puking problem, the Dr thought it was reflux and so Ive been treating it as such with meds and not worrying about what Im eating. Then while I was on vacation I had this feeling that I should lay off the fast food and junk that I have been eating like crazy since she has been born. So I did and guess what she has all but stopped puking and is much happier! So as long as Im not eating crap shes happy!
So with these two things going on I have started working out with more purpose and I am only eating healthy foods, such as whole wheat bread for my sandwitch and lots of fruit and Im making dinner and I only have one can of pop a day if that. I have a low calorie ice cream bar for my snack at night and if I get hungry I have more fruit! Plus Im doing a slim fast shake for breakfast to help take off the last 14 pounds I have to lose from my baby weight!
Now to convince Josh he needs to do the same!
We just found out that on his dads side of the family EVERYONE has heart disease! And my husband loves his junk! Not only that but now my kids are going to get it from both sides so I have to make sure WE set a good example for them so they have healthy bodys and healthy life styles!
Who would have thought I would be the kind of person to eat brown rice and wheat bread and turkey burger for the sake of staying alive and to keep my kids healthy!

Life for the next while

So, Life is fun!
We just got back from our Utah vacation. (I dont know why they call it a vacation because I did more running around and was more pressed for time and more stressed out than I was at home!) But it was fun and nice to see everyone. We blessed Teagan and had all the family over and got so see people we wouldnt have other wise!
So now that we are back its back to reality/ normal! Josh is supposed to report on the 29th of this and return to move us out on the 6th. if your not so good with the math thats 7 days... and I have to pay for the ticket back to VA and then again from CA to Mississippi! Anyways.... Josh leaves on the 29th, the movers come to pack things up on the 2nd, the moving truck comes on the 3rd and I have to be out of the house on the 5th, Josh comes back on the 6th, Wayne (Joshs dad) flies in at like midnight on the 6th, I fly out to Utah on the 7th with the 2 kids by myself...., and Josh and his dad drive to Utah that same day, We leave Utah for San Diego on the 15th, we get the keys to our house on the 17th, our stuff gets there on the 20th (fingers crossed) and Christmas eve is the 24th!

*gasp*

And I am de-junking and such...... Oh and My mom and siblings are probably coming to say with us for Christmas!
