My princess Raegan is such a busy girl she is wearing mommy out. She started walking on 1/1/11. 10 days before her first birthday. Now she is basically running. She is all over the house and wants to get into anything.
The little mock baby gates I have set up are now not working. She just pushes threw them to get where she wants to go.
She has turned into such a toddler so fast. It really is making me consider trying to have another one....But....that means trying to talk the hubby into it. I dont think that will be happening anytime soon.

Day 14 and big fat ZERO
So day 14 of lifestyle change aka "diet". I weigh the same as last week butttt....that is good because of the following.
1) Raegan got Pneumonia this week.
2) Mommy (me) got bronchitis and sinus infection
3) Daddy was sick all weekend
4) 1 through 3 means mommy did not work out all week.
So I am happy to remain the same for the week and day 21 will probably be the same since I just went to the Dr because I am still sick and I most likely will not be working out this week either.

Raegan's Wheels
I have had nothing but compliments on the wagon that Raegan got for her first birthday.
A little back story. My husband likes to have a project to work on at all times. When I say project I mean a car, motorcyle ..something that he can take all apart and get it painted, powder coated and put it back together and it looks 10 times better than what it did before he started. Now I am trying to get him to find an old convertible volkswagen beetle to start working on for Raegan when she turns 16.
Instead...he found something that he can work on for her 1st birthday. Here is her adorable wagon that her daddy built for her. It started off as just a standard Red wagon with wood fencing around it. Now it is the princess' stylish ride. He got the idea off a website he saw but they were selling them for about $400. He was able to make one himself for less than half that. The picture's do not even do it justice. It is soooo cute. Nice bright pink, with girly skulls and pinstriping all over it.

Blog Giveaways
You have got to love blog giveaways.
I opened my door the other day to find a big box. It was from Joy who writes the Living on Trees blog. I won the Noxzema gift pack she was giving away. I was so excited to open it and when she said that Noxzema went above and beyond she was correct. I will not have to buy any razors for quite a while. I was so excited to go shave. Never thought I would say that.

My Baby is 1 today
Well it has happend. My little princess is 1 today. Pretty neat birthday this year. 1 on 1/11/11.
I just cant believe how fast it went. I remember being in the hospital this time last year waiting for her to arrive. And now I am chasing her around the house. I love every minute with her and I cant wait for what the future holds for us.

Seven days so far in my lifestyle change. Lifestyle change, better way of saying "diet". I am happy to report I am down 4 lbs. So hopefully this week will follow suit and lose another 3-4 lbs.

2011 and Pay it Forward
I am starting this post because I am a firm believer in pay it forward and another blogger has set this challenge. I always give spare change in my pocket is someone asks me. Who knows I might need some change one day for gas and would hope someone would help me out. I will pay it forward to the first 3 people who comment on this post by making a home made good and send it to you.
This particular post is from a new blog that I just discovered, Ambrosia Clark. Thanks for starting this amazing project!!
*To be eligible, you must also post this in your blog, offering the same thing to 3 other people.
*The rules are that it must be handmade by you and it must be sent to your 3 people sometime in 2011.
I suggest if you are playing along you give yourself an approximate *due by* date so the people that signed up arent waiting terribly long.
Ready, set, GO!
I am giving myself a goal to send out my goods by the end of May 2011.
Have a great day everyone

New Year and 45 lbs
2011 has arrived. I am not quite sure I am ready for it but I have no choice.
So flashback to 2007. Kimberly Smith (me) weighed in at 280 lbs. Yes...280 lbs. I was very over weight and depressed about it. I didnt show it on the outside so everyone thought I was the happy go lucky funny girl but really on the inside I hated myself and my life. Things happend in my life that made me want to be a different person. I started eating healthy and was at the gym 5 days a week. I didnt "diet". If I said I was on a diet it just wouldn't work. So I did a lifestyle change of being active and eating healthier. In about a year I lost close to 100 lbs. I was much happier in my life. I was much happier with my husband because I felt sexier, prettier and overall better.
2008 was a good year. As husband and wife we traveled and just went through life happier because of the new me. The new me mad both me and hubby happier. Although he said he didn't care about my weight.
April 2009 I found out I was pregnant with my little miracle. I call her my little miracle because in the 13 years my husband and I were together I could never get pregnant. We went to a fertility doctor who said I was fine and shouldn't have any troubles. The common factor in all my doctor visits were you need to lose weight. Well, losing close to 100 lbs obviously helped because now we were expecting our little bundle of joy. Now all along before I found out I was pregnant I was at the gym 5 days a week. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I quit going to the gym. Why? I just had it in my head that something was going to happen to the baby if I kept working out, so I stopped. After all my baby was more important than going to the gym. So since April 2009, I have not been as active as I should be. I gained 60 lbs during my pregnance and I am sad to say I have 45 lbs still to lose.
Sooo... New Year and 45 lbs to lose. I started going back to the gym and I have been eating better. I love this machine at the gym. The stairmaster. Not the old step step step but more of the one that looks like an escalator that you just keep climbing. Before baby I could do 40 minutes on this machine and not have any problems. It was my favorite machine. The machine that I credit to getting my thighs and legs into shape. Well...sad to say, I did 8 minutes and it killed me. I was so out of breath. Thats what almost two years of no excercise has done to my endurance. So everyday I will be adding 2-4 minutes on this machine and get my endurance back. I used to also take Zumba and spinning classes. I don't dare go into these classes right now until I can get my endurance back. I would be so embarassed to have to leave class halfway through because I thought I would die if I kept going.
45 lbs...wow...thats quite a bit and to top it off. I would love to lose it by the end or March. That means 15 lbs a month. I just keep repeating the mantra. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it. I now have to do it for myself and also for my little miracle. I want her to be an active baby so she needs parents that can lead her.
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.
