Milestones, Doubt and a few pics..

Hey all, warning for those who still read my blogs, this will be ALL over the place!!  Sorry in advance!

• Mark the date!  Today, I finally fit into my smallest pair of pre-preggo jeans.. can I get a WOO-HOO??  Granted, I've been wearing them for a while, but I was finally able to comfortably button them without using the old hair-tie trick! 
• I've been having a pity party with myself lately b/c I'm feeling as if, no matter how much I lose, I'm going to be stuck in the plus-size section forever..  it's so irritating!  I mean, when is it going to happen for me that I can just shop in regular sizes? I was so close prior to Mac but now things have shifted and while my legs are thinning out quite a bit, my stomach area seems to staying put.. even with all the Pilates! So freaking irritating.  I will show you the picture later that really set me over the edge...
• This weekend was bananas.  I can't believe I used to have these kind of weekends on a regular basis before Mac..  Friday night, I went over to Joy's for dinner with her and Michelle and we drank a little wine and had some fun conversation. Went to bed at 12 which is at least 2 hours past my normal bedtime!! Saturday during the day I was running around town with Mac doing a bunch of errands and Saturday night, Tim and I went out for my girlfriend JB's birthday. We went to Old Town Scottsdale for dinner and then to another place for cocktails..  talk about another late night.. woke up yesterday in a semi wine/moscow mule fog..  Sunday, we went to a Pancake breakfast /fundraiser (I promptly got stuck on a small piece of sausage so there wasn't much eating for me!) and then we went to the first of many Brewers Spring Training games..  this was Mac's first game and I can't even tell you the joy on Tim's face when he was able to bring his son (whom he waited for a long time for) to his first baseball game.. Granted, little Mac probably couldn't have seen the difference between the baseball game and a trip to Safeway, but Tim was so excited. It was cute!
• So, with all the craziness of the weekend, I still got on the scale today and saw a drop of a pound since Friday. I'm moving in the right direction, just need to get my mind right.. and stop the constant lack of self-confidence..  not sure how to change that b/c I just see myself in such a negative light.

Anywho, here are pics from this weekend.  Hope you all had a good one.. the weather here in AZ was ridiculously gorgeous! Wish it would stay this way all the time and not get hotter than hell in a couple of months!!

Sorry that you got cut out of the picture Timmy!!!  (Oh, and I'm just now realizing that I have a piece of peanut stuck in my teeth in all these pictures.. nice, Jen, nice!!)

Notice the belly here.. large and in charge.  and I'm not preggers.

Poor guy just woke up and now I'm making him take pics..
