For the new readers, every Monday I do a segment called MILF Monday.
I usually post weight stats, full body shots, and fitness related stuff.
This morning's weight:

Thank the Lord Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that I'm out of the 160s.
7 more pounds until I post another set of progression pics.
Holla!
Snapped this morning before work:

jean size 10- Abercrombie & Fitch (circa 2005)
(Ps- I can't WAIT to get back into my 8's!)
shirt size small from Express
necklace from Express
shoes from Rossome (Ross + Awesome = Rossome)
This weekend was spent cooking.
I usually don't cook much on the weekends, but I was in a mood this weekend so I made the following:
Pioneer Woman's Corn & Cheese Chowder

Do yall know about PW? She rocks. Weightloss enthusiasts beware: her recipes are full of fat, fat, and more fat!
Of course, it is always possible to 'skinny' her recipes up.
On this particular recipe, I left out the bacon, used reduced fat cheese, 1% milk instead of half and half, fat free ckn broth (no sodium added), no salt added corn, and served it in a bowl made of glass (or ceramic... whatev), NOT bread.
It was awesome!
No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

I 'skinnied' these up by changing the following:
Truvia instead of sugar, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter instead of margarine, Reduced Fat Peanut Butter, and 1% milk.
Now this was my first time to make no bake cookies, so I'm not quite sure the consistency is right. Especially since I changed up the ingredients. I had to refrigerate mine so they would harden a little and not be so gooey.
But when you take them out of the fridge they get gooey again. FYI.
They are still really good, however.
And last night I made pork tenderloin in the crockpot.
Holy juicy meat, that shit was amazing.
Poured some worscteshiwirelyafsdhf (am I the only one that doesn't know how to spell that damn word??) on top of the hunk 'o' meat, added some sliced onions and chopped new potatoes.
Wow.
Juciest meat I've put in my mouth all week. That's what she said.
So the reason I asked for foundation recommendations is because my face is ridic.
It seems as though starting at 3 months postpartum that my face decides it's going to go all crazy pizza face on me.
It happened to me around the same time after I had Big T as well. I got these dry, itchy, red patches on my face around 3 months postpartum.
I figure it's the last of the pregnancy hormones trying to escape from my body.
That's gotta be it.
Also, this just in: my hair is falling out.
AWESOME!
Now, I have VERY thick hair to begin with so I'm all for a little self-thinning, but eff, that shit gets everywhere!!!
So anywho, my regular Makeup Forever foundation isn't cutting it.
I need something heavy right now.
I have used Bare Minerals in the past, and I love it, but for right now, it's not heavy enough to hide this postpartum teenage face I got goin on.
So thank you for all your product advice!
Last time this madness cleared up after a few months, so I'm hoping it will do the same this time because I am a Hot Mess lately!
Now, have you seen this cuteness that is floating around Pinterest??

Oh yes, we are recreating it for Big T's Valentines Day party at school tomorrow.
Here are a few of the pics I got. I'd LOVE some help deciding which one to use!
#1

#2

#3

Which do you think??
I'll end on some pics of my sweet babies!


Mental note: when you are holding a baby that is throwing up be sure to CLOSE YOUR MOUTH.
Yes, I got thrown up on last night. ALL OVER. and even in my mouth hole.
NOT awesome.
HAPPY MILF MONDAY!

I say number 3! How cute!
Congrats on the 150s! My scale said 148.8 Sat and then took a s#!t and my new one wasn't as friendly so I'm back to chasing the 140s again!
Number 3! Congrats on beating the scale and getting past 160!!
Congrats on the 150's!!
Congrats on the 150's! You'll be in the 140's before you know it!
I LOVE picture #3, those cards will be so adorable!
I spent a lot of time cooking this weekend too. I made Dashing Dish chicken and black bean tacos, they were delish! And the boys helped me make Dashing Dish red velvet cupcakes, YUMMM!!!!
My face was a hormonal mess after I had both the boys too. Sometimes it just sucks being a woman! I still use Bare Minerals but I agree that it does not give a ton of coverage.
Number 3!!!!
Crazy... We are at the exact same weight this morning... and I made those Valentine's for my boy yesterday; although it looks like Big T acted a lot better for you!
The third picture is adorable!!
definitely #3!!!
Definitely #3!
Number 3 for sure! Congrats on the 150's!! My face goes pizza face after I have kids also. For about three months! That's when I ran into the Mary Kay concealer and foundation. It has done wonders for me! Instead of butter you can use apple sauce, I've tried it and it works!
My no bake recipe (It's nothing close to skinny) uhg!
2cups-surgar
1/2 cup-milk
1/2cup-peanut butter (I use more)
1tsp.-vanilla
1stick-butter (half cup apple sauce)
1,12oz.-milk chocolate chips (or dark)
3cups-oatmeal
Boil for 1 minute: sugar, butter milk) pour over chocolate chips, peanut butter, and oatmeal! Enjoy :)
Most definitely #3!!! :)
I think you should use #3! Its adorable!!
Congratulations on the 150's!!!!!
#3 is awesome! I am also 158lbs...struggling with losing the weight. My youngest is 4 1/2 years old!! A year and a half ago I lost 18lbs and was down to 148. I let stress and emotions get the best of me and I ate my way back up to 164. Still strugging to get back down. You are an inspiration!!
Just have to say that I love reading your blog. Congrats on getting out of the 160's. I am currently trying to loose weight and reading you blog helps me keep going. P.S. number 3 is PERFECT!!! Happy Valentines day!!!
#3 totally!!!
YAY for being in a new number bracket!!! That is ALWAYS sooooo nice to see!!! Keep it up!!!
I loved reading your post this morning.... Thanks for getting my Monday off to a good start. Loved the Valentine idea too. #3 is priceless!
So I have to know--how tall are you? I know I got a big, ole butt, but I can't get out of my size 12 jeans no matter how much weight I loose. I am at 175 right now, but I have been at 160 and still in the same pants--yuck! My butt never goes down.
I read your blog faithfully but never comment.. I just love the pics & need to tell you I love #3!!!!! Too cute!
Oh-Those are all cute pics!
Congrats on the loss-you'll be at skinny beeotch status in no time!!
I hated the hormone let down when your hair falls out. You might add in biotin vitamins to help-but there isn't much you can do.
This may not be the right place to post but I am new at this, just discovered your blog and LOVE as I am on a weightloss journey of my own and actually loving most every minute of it. But about your face, from what you described you might try this, my dermatologist recomended this and it works wonders on my face, as well as my sister used it on her newborn when she got "baby acne". Large jar of Cerave or Cetaphil cream and a tube of cotizone cream, mix together in the cream jar. I apply at night after I wash my face but sometimes in the morning if my skin is going nuts. Works wonders!
pic #3 for sure!! congrats on getting into the 140s. I have been doing ww for a month Wednsday, and have lost 8lbs, but had a bad week last week so I am not to sure that number will be going down at WI. But I started running last night using the couch to 5k and I know the inches will start to come off along with the pounds. I am at 220 right now and want to be at 165, and thanks to you I know I can do it again, I did it once 5 years ago and I am determined to do it again.
I love your blog!! I had found it just before christmas and was planning on keeping up with you and do a milf monday but I recently found out I am prego so I will def be using this after. You have very cute boys, I have two boy right now and they are pretty crazy so just wait until yours get a little older!! I love pic 2 and 3!! Such a cute idea!
Number 3! How could you even have to ask that!
I was thinking about no bake cookies this weekend! Your skinny version seems pretty awesome...gonna have to try it. Woo-Hoo for the 150's! Thank you for being such an inspiration.
Oh, and I like pic #1. His smile is too cute in that one. :)
I was planning on making a "skinny" version of that PW soup - glad to know it works out well!
You may have said before, but how tall are you? I am 5'6 and 162 and no where near a size 10!!! Jealous...
Another random Q: how many days a week are you running? Does it feel like enough? Too much?
Congrats on the 150's!! Thanks so much for sharing- your honesty and real-ness is so refreshing and inspiring.
And pic #3 is totes adorbs.
#3!!!! <3 it!
all of them are adorable, but you can't beat that amazing smile in #1!

#3 for sure!!!
I just recently started reading your blog but I think it's amazing!! I'm not a mom but love all of your great tips and helpful advice.

I have to say you are a great inspiration to me. I am also a married working mother of two fantastic kids and I enjoy reading about how you are getting ready for your half marathon and dropping your baby weight. We are totally on the same track. I too have signed up to do a half marathon and our weight goals are the same. I would like to lose 40lbs and show my 18 month old daughter what it is like to be a healthy beautiful woman. Keep up your good work and keep me inspired and laughing.
Love number three!
I just discovered your blog (someone pinned it on pinterest) and I am totally loving it. You write the way my mind thinks. Lol.
Your boys are precious. I have two boys as well :-) Stop on by and say hi if you get a chance.
