CONFESSION

I have this one horrible, major, terrible, awful, wonderful problem..............I'm a foodie. I love it. I can't help myself. The spices, the freshness, the sweetness, mmmmmmmm. I was so happy after Smith was born because I instantly lost 22 pounds. Good night nurse I should be jumping for joy! But crappety crap crapper. I've still got 15-20 to go. But how can I cut back? Huh? Tonight, my father is in town visiting, and he mentioned something about indian food. Navajo tacos (he called them indian tacos). While I understood what he was saying, all I heard was indian food and seriously? Can you really expect my mind to be able to focus on ANYTHING after that? I had to have it. So a quick phone call, a 35 minute drive, and some hungry excited kids later I had myself some chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi, garlic naan, and water :) and I was in HEAVEN. Ate three helpings, I did. AND when Jack got home everyone decided it had been a half hour so it was time for more. All. of. us. I loved watching all of my kids get all giddy going back for seconds. SO...what can a poor girl do? Go for fourthsies. It was my only option. But the best part...there is enough to do it all again for dinner tomorrow. Thank you New Delhi Palace Cuisine of India. I love you more than you know.
Really. I do.

PS We had family pics taken last weekend and here are a few of them. Some turned out really cute. It was hard to limit myself.

Jami!! How are ya! I have been away from blogging way too long!! when was smith born? I too am having a hard time losing this baby weight the second time around. they say that you gain less and lose it faster with your 2/3/4...but it is not the case for me. I ate healthier with andrew and still gained 15 lbs more than I did with Delia!!! What?!! I looove food too! I'm not exactly taking bad fast food/fried chicken and pizza food(yes they are good, but...) healthier things. Well, apparently I gain weight eating celery! hahaha. it really bites. So I have been eating a lot less and exercising a little more and it is starting to come off. After my b-day and V-day and eating out to olive garden and what not, I had gained 3 lbs after it taking 4 weeks to lose it!! blah! soooo. Here I am...lost those extra 3 lbs and plus another 3 lbs in 3 weeks. it's been hard to say...nope can't have that cookie, only light yogert and celery for lunch! but my goal is to lose 2 lbs a week over the next 9 weeks, or until we go to TN in june. I only have 11 lbs to go to get back to my "pre-baby" weight and then 7 more for my "ideal" weight! you're so skinny anyway...i'm sure you look great! 4 babies wow! time flies! I can't believe have big Emma is! I hope I can convince christian for at least 1 more, if not 2. He says he is done, bit I want 1 more girl and 1 more boy! I love my baby boy! soooo much fun!!
