8 Months Postpartum

Firstly, how the heck is Oscar 8 months already? I just don't understand what is happening here. 2014 was a real speedy bastard wasn't it? I say was as it is very nearly at the finish line. Once that clock strikes midnight and it officially becomes 2015, I'm most likely going to have an anxiety attack. 

Just casually getting married in a few months? 'You worried about that at all?' Who me? Course not. What's a wedding eh? (Insert nervous laughter)

Should probably stop eating KFC around about now. And learn how to make delicious salads, not just grass with tomato and cucumber. Should also stop eating 5 kilos of potatoes a week in this household, and should probably stop all that chocolate & beer too. Shoulda coulda woulda. That's my motto. 

On the 23rd, it'll be exactly 6 months until the wedding. I feel as though some magical motivation cape is going to strap itself around my neck that day, and I'm going to morph into a clean green eating machine. When I say I feel, I mean I hope...

In all seriousness, things aren't looking too shabby. Breastfeeding is still doing it's thang, and I'm still keeping up with my exercise 3-4 times a week. The eating kind of went off track (or was it ever on track?) when we went to NZ, but being back home with our usual routine and usual foods will help things chug along. I'm not actually wanting to lose weight anymore, I'm back down to my pre-O weight and I feel as though toning is my number one goal now (along with every other female in this entire universe).

The thing with food is, I just bloody love it so much. Carbs, are just the bees knees, rice, bread, and potatoes are a huge part of my everyday diet and I can't quite figure out how or what to replace them with?? 

So if anyone has any stellar salad recipes they wanna shoot my way, please do! Google and Pinterest aren't putting out as of late so I need all the help I can get. 

How is it possible that a salad can compete with this though;

Dinner last night was an oldy, but a real goody. Funnily, this would be considered a 'cheat meal' to most health conscious folks, yet it's everyday around here. Hence my dilemma... Mmmm gravy. 

*Off the topic- I was just interrupted by a bang at the door, only to be greeted by my handsome hubby to be, flowers in tow!!

Isn't that just the sweetest thing? It's also the rarest thing, as that was a first in our 6 years. I'm in a state of shock! 

Back to the topic of the day, I won't be getting my bits out for a bod update this time as it's much the same as my 6 month snap. I'll be posting once there is some progress (and I'm not so pasty).

Anywho lovely readers, as it's Friday, I hope you all have a joyous weekend ahead, 

Happy Days,

Gem 

Thought of the day "getting my first period in 18 months this week was a shock to the system"
