61st Fashionable Fridays

Here's what I wore 2 Sundays ago...maybe not the best choice - I look fat.

Here's me in a Mommy outfit.....

Pointing my finger at my son for making a mess....

Here I am after a Mary Kay party. We did skin care and learned some little tricks. I love eyebrow gel! It makes my eyebrows look amazing and really frames my eyes. Plus I love Mary Kay's new foundation, seems much lighter. (my opinions)

Link up your fashions, make-up, hairstyles!

8th Work-out Wednesday

Here are my stats:
Height: 5'4
Beginning Measurements

• Around the Belly: 39 in. (47 in. 38 weeks pregnant with my daughter- I was only 45 in. with my son, but I weighed almost 10 lbs. more)
• Waist: 38in.
• Around my bottom: 40.25 in.
• Upper Arm: 12.25 in.
• Inner Thigh: 23.5 in

Goal: flatter tummy - 34 in. around my belly (so I don't look pregnant still when I wear my pre-pregnancy shirts), 140 by September 1st. OR to fit into my 7-9 jeans comfortably.

Ideally would love to be 120-125 again and 30-32 in. again.

Pre-pregnancy: 131 lbs. Gained 36 lbs. when pregnant:  167 lbs.
Beginning weight: 147 lbs.

Today's Weight: 141 so a little over 1 pound since last time
Yesterday I weighed 140 because I got sick again, just a major stomach ache (not nausea) in the middle of the night, waking me up so I was careful with what I ate yesterday. I had a little one again last night so I'm not sure what I've been doing/eating to cause it.... I had hot dogs Monday night and I hadn't had them in a long time?? Black beans Sunday night with taco salad?
Next week, I'll share my measurements again because it will be the last day of August. Since I'm pretty sure I'll meet my goal of 140, I rewarded myself and bought this shirt from Old Navy using my $10 Old Navy Rewards that I've had for the last 5 months. Since it's out of stock, probably because it only costed $8.97 this is the only picture I could get of the Asymmetrical Ruffled shirt.

Link up your fitness/health posts/blogs too so we can motivate each other! I'd love to hear your progress.

52nd Mommy Mondays

So I've started thinking about potty training especially since money is tight with my husband's hours being cut for the last 2+ months. I cringed when I had to buy another case of diapers! My goal is to do the 3 Day Method during the 1st week in September. I'm starting to read the whole method and taking notes.

My son woke up dry yesterday morning since I didn't give him anything to drink 2 hours before bedtime and checked his diaper as soon as he woke up.

I'm scared though because he doesn't like to pee in the potty. He'll pee in his diaper, underwear or bathtub. I think I might need to incorporate him just going naked because he was holding his legs waiting for me to put his diaper on so he could go. He's been dying to have a toy motorcycle so I'm hoping this can be his motivation to go on the potty. I have to read the rest of the 3 Day Method though and see what they say about my concerns.

Anyone else use the 3 Day Method? My friend used it on her son last month and he's 2 days younger than my son and it worked amazingly with him! It took a little longer than 3 days, but he's fully trained both day and night - pee and poop, though poop took longer. I have big hopes for this to work, but I'm scared!!

I might just make my 140 goal by September 1st though my husband's birthday is on the 29th so I better not stuff my face then =D. Breastfeeding and not eating so much junk seems to be helping the most! Last night I walked almost 3 miles pushing my kids in the stroller. We did this to walk with my husband after he got home from work since our car was in the shop. We met him more than a little half way and we walked home as a family which was nice. I got a cramp in the middle of it though since I haven't walked that far in a long time.

60th Fashionable Fridays

A couple week's ago I played around on Cover Girl's virtual makeover. It was pretty cool and helps you pick out what make-up to buy. I mostly played around for the hair. I'm going crazy with my hair or should I say rat's nest. Having 2 kids has been hard for me to find time to do my hair plus it's been so hot! I have so much thick long hair that I might do something drastic. My husband likes it long though, but would he prefer long hair and not done or short hair and done???? I should ask him that too.

Anyway here are cuts that I thought were fun or cool. Vote on your favorite. I'll number them for you. OR there are styles: I should keep my hair long and try to style it like the styles below.

I'll be 27 in a couple months and I want something where I look my age and like a mom. If you really want to help, send me links of styles/cuts that might look good on me.
I have Asian thick hair that's naturally wavy.....
