READY TO START A NEW!

Life got in the way of my sexy figure! At least that’s my excuse. After nearly four years of wonderful marriage and one beautiful child, I’ve discovered that I’ve developed a private hatred for scales and mirrors alike. I’ve had enough of life getting in the way, and it’s time to get back into the best shape of my life! T-minus 60 pounds to go!
Let me start off by saying, I am blessed. Andrew is my loving husband, and we have a beautiful little one named Eden. I am able to stay at home with Eden while Andrew is able to work from home. We love to sit and watch movies or play video games while eating candy and pizza on our time off. Soda is something we drink daily. Taco Bell is a place we visit 2 or more times a week. My name is Christy Lowen, and I am ready to start a new.
As a mother, I set the path for my daughter. Whether it is a path to gluttony and laziness or one to a healthy and Godly lifestyle, it is my choice. As a wife, it’s my job to be and feel sexy for my husband!

Working Out For Two

Another great week! I haven't had this great of a week in over two years! I have kept up with my workout routine, and have continued to eat healthy.  Except for one day, Sunday, oh dear, Sunday. You see... I was in a hurry because Andrew and I were going to catch a movie, so I grabbed a protein shake and some seasoned almonds at the grocery store and decided not to look at the back of either, because how bad can those things be? I mean come on, they are healthy. After I had finished the protein shake and had 2 thirds of the almonds, curiosity got me to look at the back of these items. I drank 840 calories!!!!!! Then, I ate 680 calories!!! 1520 calories for a snack? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Why did I not just go to In n' Out and order a Triple Triple Animal style! It would have at least tasted amazing! So yeeeeaaaah. That protein shake was probably made with buttermilk and the almonds soaked in gasoline, that's the only way I can explain how America could fatten up such "healthy" things. Learn from me, READ THE BACK PEOPLE!!!

So you want to know why we were running a little short on time for the movies? Well, I had to drop Eden off at Grandma and Granpa's house, and in doing so I had to tell them the news (as you have probably guessed by the title) that they are going to be grandparents of TWO! That is right, I am as the Bible says, with child! Woot woot! And this month was the month that we decided not to try because my hubby and I were feeling so sick at different times. I guess it's true, stop trying and you will get preggies! So exciting! I think I am REALLY early, like 2.5 weeks. People are worried about me telling others too soon, and I am a little nervous too. But here is the thing, I don't want to limit the amount of prayers for this baby's health and growth. I am asking you guys to please pray for this little one's health and safety, that he or she (I think he) is an extremely healthy baby that grows up knowing and loving Jesus.  

There are 4 of these majiggers to prove baby Lowen's existence =D


I started having some really gnarly cramps yesterday, as well as some light spotting (brown) which is still continuing. I know that cramps can happen, but those were ridiculous, and the spotting I am really not worried about because I remember the same thing happening when I was pregnant with Eden. But it does not hurt to ask for your guys' prayers =D.

I am going to keep on working out, and just monitor my body a little bit more, and maybe go a tiny bit easier. Eating? Well I will not be eating for 2... Or in Sunday's case 6!
