Mighty Summer List Number Five.


Lose most of the baby weight by August.

(Taken only moments before I tripped and fell WHILE HOLDING CALEB thanks to a cluttered garage and tall heels. The bruise on my leg is still throbbing.)

(Please also notice the classy handwritten "PLEASE KNOCK BABY IS SLEEPING" sign haphazardly taped to our front door. We'll pretend it hasn't been stuck there for the past six weeks.)

Well friends, I've got around ten pounds left to lose. Rather than suck in my stomach and try to do a skinny pose in the above picture, I am instead trying to wrangle a toddler who is way more interested in his waffle and juice than in taking a picture with Mommy. Fun! I think I gained 35ish pounds this time around and these last ten pounds are just hanging around. You know, keeping me company. Such friendly post-baby pounds. My six week appointment is coming up and once I get the nod to exercise then, well ... I'll be out of excuses. Dang!

So, there you have it. And let's just be glad that little Nomi Bug has such a terrible gassy reaction to ice cream because if she didn't, well, this would be one goal that I might not achieve!!

Have a lovely day!

  1. I love your dress! SO CUTE! I've also got 10 extra pounds just hanging around...we need to figure out a plan to get them to go away! Everyone said it would be harder to lose the weight the 2nd time around but I didn't really believe them...now I do!

  3. You look very pretty.. I don't see any 10 pounds. Don't beat yourself up. My last one just turned 1 and I finally lost the last 10 pounds!

  5. you look fantastic Katie! And yes, the 2nd baby is waaaaaaaaay harder to lose. So sad. The 3rd may me really rough for me(I'm not prego), but you know what I mean:)

  6. I found the banner at thecutestblogontheblock.com and downloaded it (for free!) and then added my own text. Super easy!

  7. You look fantastic! You are so right...those last 10 pounds just seem to linger a bit. Mine are still there and Riggs is 12 weeks old now, but...eh...we'll get there eventually!
