Happy Birthday Babies.

I have two twin nephews, and they are probably the coolest babies I know, although I am starting to feel old because they DO NOT seem like babies anymore, in fact this past weekend they turned two.  I can't believe two years have gone by, I can't imagine life without them. I don't know what we used to do on trips to see my sister and brother in law before changing dipers, refilling sippy cups and reading tiny cardboard books over and over to the cutest grins this side of the Appalachian Mountains.

I was proud of my sister, she kept is simple with just family and pizza, but ohhh dear I have a hard time keeping a healthy diet up there, they want to treat us because we are family so we ate out alot, and had bad food to boot. Thankfully my sister made delicious salad to go with the pizza, so I ate one of those first before I dug into the veggie pizza she ordered for my mom and I (the rest of the family are big meat lovers)

So I was nervous to say the least to weigh in when I got home, but I  guess I did okay because I lost a pound and I plan to keep on trucking. 155. I have lost 11 pounds! (and I really don't deserve the last pound, but I will certainly take it!)

We are leaving for the Beach for a week June 22nd, so my goal is to lose at least 10 pounds before we go. I think 10 pounds in 6 weeks is doable. My sister and I are going to be involved in some heavy competitition ( or not really) but we are going to try to motivate each other to work out and make healthy choices! I will try to text her two or three times a week, not as stringent as the game on diet, but it is good to have people working with you. She had twin boys and is still trying to shed the weight, but I can see why she struggles, because I would much rather have fun with this cutie than go to the gym for an hour. She is a great mom! (and my brother in law is a great dad!)

Me with my nephew Brock! I love the rocking the "Kid as shield for big thighs" pose!
