Well I don't get daughter-of-the-year award. Yesterday was my dad's birthday and I thought it was the 29th so this morning at the gym when I saw that it is the 31st my heart sank because I missed my dad's already unfortunate December 30th birthday. Sorry dad. Happy Birthday!
Speaking of the gym, I promised some people that I would post this week's workout. But first, I have some more pictures of my progress. These are not the kind of pictures that you see on Facebook that people take of themselves with puckered lips. I know you know what I mean. I'm doing it to document my progress. That's it.

So I have gotten some compliments that make me laugh. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate any compliment but I get, "you look great for just having a baby." Haha! What does that even mean? You don't look great for a normal person but since you just had a baby... Just kind of funny to me. And I know I've got a way to go to be where I want to be. I'm excited for it!
