I’ve gotta lose some weight.  Hailey is now 4 and I don’t think I can call it baby weight anymore.  I’m serious now… we have a trip planned in a couple of months and I want to be skinny when we go.  Here’s a few pictures to help with my motivation:

Skinny me… you’d think I would have looked a little happier to be so skinny.  Anyhoo- this is my before pregnant picture.

And in this picture you will notice that I am quite pregnant.  About 35 weeks to be exact.

And this is me now- our 10th anniversary trip to Disney World.

So clearly, if I want to get back to my before picture (and I still have those jeans, just in case!) I need to get my butt in gear!  I haven’t exactly figured out my plan, but I will post about it soon.

It’s that time of year- the time when we all need to go through our closets and figure out what needs to get stored for the winter, what needs to be given away and what needs to be thrown away.  Once I get all my summer clothes put away and pull out my fall and winter clothes I know I’ll need to do some shopping.  I haven’t really bought myself any new fall/winter clothes in quite a while and so I think I’m due for some new clothes.

Times are tough though.  I know I still like to have name brand clothes but I don’t want to spend the money in the expensive stores to get those clothes.  So, in times like this, you’ve gotta pay attention to commercials and ads for the deals.

I’ve seen a few of these commercials lately and I’m sure you have too.  So, I know I’ll be checking out the local mall for some new clothes for this coming winter.  I can always find things for myself that I want.  Plus with Hailey’s birthday coming up and the fact that she grew a LOT since the last time she needed long sleeves and pants I need to get her new clothes too.
