I Suck
Man, I sure did slack off on blogging...I am debating even keeping it going :-( I don't know what I am gonna do, I feel like all my time is spent on Facebook so I forget my blog. And, the days have been LONG with the boys...they are awesome but it's still a long day dealing with 2 9 month olds!
I can't believe they are almost a year old...INSANE!!!I never thought I would see this day...I thought I would lose my mind first :-) My how things have changed since those first 2 months!!
Little Parks got his helmet about a month ago...he is freakin adorable in it and doesn't seem to mind it at all. He still sleeps 12 hours a night...thank God!!! We already see an improvement! They both have teeth now which is wild to me!!! They are big boys!!!

Catch Up
Between changing my URL, the crappy background and my lack of posting I have no idea if anyone even reads my blog anymore...but here I am to catch up.
Things are great! The boys will be 8 months old on the 13th...I can't even believe how fast it's gone by!!! I couldn't even imagine making it to this point without losing my mind. Well, I did lose my mind the first 2-3 months but since then it's only gotten better!
The boys still sleep 12 hours a night, uninterrupted (mommy loves you!), they nap 2-3times a day at the same time (did I mention mommy loves you) and they are eating 3 meals a day in addition to bottles. They are such good eaters, they like everything! Chase is holding his bottle on his own which makes things MUCH easier, now Parker needs to get with that program and we will be golden!
I love them so much I can't even stand it. Each day they do something new, they make me laugh and they amaze me. Chase is getting his first tooth and I think it's the most amazing thing (it's actually normal for babies to get teeth, I hear...heehee). Parker takes in everything around him, is very serious at times and then cracks up at the littlest things.
All in all things are wonderful with the boys. One little issue though is Parker's crooked head :-( He has always slept on his back with his head turned to the same side and now he has a flat spot on the side. We have an appointment with a specialist next week and I am guessing he is going to have to wear a helmet...which makes me sad and worried. I hope it doesn't make him uncomfortable and he better not get made fun of by the other 8 month olds!!
I am still doing The BodyBugg program and have lost 7 pounds in a little less than 3 weeks!! I don't even know who I am anymore. It's like The Bugg was made for me!! If I haven't reached my calories burned goal by the end of the day I do something active to burn them. I go to the gym every other day, walk a few times a day and take care of twins...so I am burning cals like crazy! I have stayed within my allotted calories consumed give or take 100 calories, which is a minor miracle for the WORST eater on the planet! Damn it...I am going to look hot this summer!!! ( I miss brownies)

BodyBugg
Well, I changed my URL address cause I was having trouble changing my layout and now I just have a boring layout!! I tried a few and things were all over the place....I miss my bird in a tree! I will work on it this weekend or breakdown and pay someone to design it.
So, I had mentioned that I was going to the gym and I have actually stuck to it. I have gone every other day since the 1st and have now added a fancy little gadget to my weight loss plan...The BodyBugg.
It's an arm band that you wear all day except in the shower and bed....it tracks your calories burned with a 90% accuracy. There is a website where you log in the food you have eaten and it calculates your calorie deficit. When you set up your account you set a goal and it tells you what you need to consume and burn daily to achieve set goal by a certain time....pretty cool.
Today was my first day using it. My burned calorie goal is 2750 and my consumed calories is 1750....I ended the day with goal's met plus 50 extra calories to spare!! Now this shit better work cause it was not easy counting calories!!! I wanted a freakin cheeseburger sooo badly!!! But I have a goal and damn it I am going to look good again! I miss the old Amy.

Roll Tide and QUIT YOUR CRYING!
We did it...Bama won the National Championship against Texas! We have not been to a Championship game since we won in 1992!! I was lucky enough to attend that game at the Sugar Bowl against Miami...it was amazing! I wish I could have been at this game!!!
We had some friends and family come over to watch the game...most were Texas fans (of course since I live in Texas) but luckily I had 3.5 Bama fans...the .5 being my husband who is actually a Texas fan. I had a few drinks, got a much needed buzz, trashed talked, yelled for Bama and had a house full of friends..it was a great night. Oh and the boys slept through the whole gathering which included 7 kids running around the house...good babies :-)
Well, my good night was soured by all of the trash talking on Facebook. I can't believe how many people were whining and making excuses for Bama's win. Apparently Texas fans know that if Colt McCoy had not gotten injured they would have kicked our ass..isn't that amazing that they can predict those things??? They also think that Bama "sucks" and Bama is "weak"...I can't believe the #1 team in the country with the Heisman winner actually sucks...how in the world did we get to play the almighty Texas for the National title??
Man!!! I am getting all riled up again! I have to say I have a new respect for my husband. He is a true Texas fan who is so disappointed in his fellow fans...he knows everything about the game of football and had the smarts to acknowledge that Bama won the game because we deserved it, that shit happens and players get injured and a winning team should be prepared for that. He has the smarts to know that the first 1/4 of a game does not decide the winner, that Bama got to the #1 spot for a reason....I could go on and on. He has been getting dogged by his friends and their Facebook friends for posting that the Tide played a good game....the shit that has been said is out of control! I love the state of Texas but alot of UT fans have no class...just Joe :-)
I conclude this post with a hearty ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!

I had to take a picture of the Tide running out on the field :-)
My neighbor and I
Chasey grabbed that bottle of beer, pulled it toward him and started licking the rim...nothing like a beer before bedtime :-)
Roll Tide!!
Joe and Parks...I let them stay up late to watch the kick off..heehee

Still Fat
Okay...so I have gone to the gym every other day since the 1st, that's a whopping 3 days!!! Woo hoo!!! I am doing 45 minutes on the treadmill, weights and sauna. I think everyone is looking at me thinking " man, that girl is fat", I walk by the mirrors and turn the other way and guys are not checking me out...other than that it's been great :-)
Sigh.....the beginning is the worst!!! Weird how it's easier to stay motivated when you look good...shouldn't my reflection of fat keep me motivated?? Instead my reflection makes me think there is no use...like it's going to take so long to see results. Amazing how I lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks when I had Post Partum...I wish I could remember what my meals consisted of, I know it wasn't much!
The food thing is actually my biggest hurdle, not the gym. I don't eat fruits, veggies or seafood so I am pretty much screwed. I got excited yesterday cause I tried a yogurt covered raisin and enjoyed it...well, I googled them and they are not exactly healthy :-( What the hell!! I am pulling out all of my weight watchers cookbooks in hopes of finding good food that's good for you. Every time I read the diets that people follow in my trash magazines I can't believe how BORING and strict they are!!! Egg whites for breakfast, salad for lunch, fish for dinner...blah!!!
I just ate 2 pop tarts.....is that bad? I know...it is.

FAT!!!!!!
Yep, I said it...I am FAT!!! I am the before picture, I look like a linebacker...seriously! Wii fit's assessment agrees. It's time for some action. What better time to start then January 1st.
After the boys were born I was 10 pounds lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight because of the Post Partum Depression killing my appetite. Well, depression went away and appetite came back with a vengeance!! I have gained 25 pounds since the depression went away!!! What the hell!!?? This SUCKS!!!
I never had a problem with weight. I was a size 4/6 all through college and ate HORRIBLY!! Weight started to creep on around 26 years old. Now, at 36 I have 0 metabolism!! So, now I must change a lifetime of eating habits that never had a negative affect before 25 years old!!! Sigh......
So, January 1st I went to the gym....40 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes of weights and 12 minutes in the sauna. Every time I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirrors EVERYWHERE, I was disgusted!!! I don't feel like I look so it's always a shock when I see myself.
We got Wii fit for Christmas so I will be doing that in addition to the gym and walks with the boys. Now, the trick is to find things I like to eat that are somewhat healthy...this will be hard!!!!

Saddest Thing Ever (ok, there's sadder) :-(
Santa brought the boys their very own RSV virus and ear infections on Christmas morning!! The poor babies woke up coughing and so stuffy! They were little troopers though and made it through the day with only a bit of fussiness in the early evening.
They sleep uninterrupted from 7-7 every night but that night both of them were up coughing and whimpering periodically. No crazy crying...just sad whimpering...it was awful. We were so scared to go to bed and not watch them every minute. We put the humidifier on, put a wedge under the sheet to raise their heads, gave them Tylenol and sucked their little noses out...and did alot of cuddling.
We took them to the pediatrician the next day and she concluded that they had RSV. Parker had a double ear infection with RSV and Chase had one ear infection and a milder case of RSV. They gave the boys breathing treatments at the office and sent us home with an RX for Albuterol and a nebulizer.
Well, it's been a week of breathing treatments every few hours and lots of worrying but they are finally better. Thank God!
