Before I was pregnant with Kane my average weight was 110lbs.  In the hopes that I can get back down to around that weight we're getting back into our "diet" here in the Cusi house.  I have to say that until the last month of my pregnancy I was eating very healthy but as I got bigger and bigger, more and more uncomfortable, sweets were my favorite way to distract myself.  :)  Then after Kane was born, I just didn't have the time or the energy to prepare healthy meals or snacks so I grabbed what I could when I could.  And of course the holidays and traveling didn't help.  So when we got home from up north we pledge to get into phase one of the South Beach diet to drop some weight.  Well, first our neighbor shows up on our doorstep with chocolates and fudge which of course we had to try!  Then life got very busy.  Jed has been working hard to clean up our camper, I've been putting Christmas decorations away and cleaning up the house and we've had company drop by a couple of times.  Before I knew it, it was Thursday and I still hadn't gone grocery shopping!  Anyway, I've been on a modified version of phase 1 and I've lost 3 pounds already.  I'm quite pleased but my goal is not so much a weight as it is being able to get into my pre-pregnancy clothes.  So for the time being, I'm eating lots of low fat meat and cheese's, salad, veggies, and eggs.  I sneak a piece of chocolate, a whole wheat cracker or a banana here and there.  I'll do this until next friday and then I'll go back to a mix of good carbs and low fat foods.  I'm gonna miss Skittles! :) 
On an unrelated note here are some pictures:

Kane's new favorite place to hang out is in his exersaucer.  He loves being able to stand up and the toys are very entertaining.   By the way does he look like he might have red hair to you?  In some pictures he looks like that to me, its freaking me out! :)

Look at how chubby he is!  I love it! Roll after roll after roll. :)

I love his smile in this one.

I went to put Kane down for a nap today and this is what I found.  This is just one of the many places I'm surprised to find Church on any given day.  A few days ago I had left one of my dresser drawers open a bit and he had made himself quite comfortable on top of my tshirts.

Ok, so Jed and I are having a disagreement and I asked him if he minded if I post about it on my blog and he said it was fine so here goes...  Before Christmas Jed found the above light switch covers on sale at Lowes and brought them home for the kitchen.  Usually my husband has good taste and we're in agreement about decor but this time I'm sorry, this is HIDEOUS!  We have been arguing about it and he thinks I'm over reacting but I really really don't.  So what do you think?  Jed never reads the comments and I wont be upset so feel free to be as open as you want.
