GOAL #2 REACHED! MashaAllah!

Today is a happy day for me... I have REACHED my GOAL #2! I am starting on GOAL #3! I feel like I accomplished a lot and I am really loving the way I feel about myself these days!

GOAL #1: Was to lose the ~~23 pounds~~ I gained while I was in UAE for 4.5 months...anddddddddd..
UPDATE: Alllll ~~23 Pounds~~ GONE!! YAY!

GOAL #2: Was to lose ANOTHER ~~10 pounds~~....and......
UPDATE: All ~~10 of those Pounds~~ are GONE... Double Woohoo!

SO NOW I AM:

DOWN 33 Pounds since I came back from UAE...which takes my TOTAL since giving birth to Baby#3 to 49 Pounds of weight I NEVER want to see again InshaAllah!

I am now starting Goal #3...which is to lose another 10 pounds. I have not been that goal weight since a little before I got Pregnant with Baby#1 who is 8 years old now lol! It is ABOUT TIME hehehe!

Sooooo I am satisfied with the way I look now Alhamdullilah...but I would like to be more toned and fit looking, which I think with my favorite Les Mills Classes I can achieve that InshaAllah! As soon as this holiday stuff is over I am hoping to get into the gym more. Now that I have a 2nd car it is easier for me to get to the gym now that my husband is back to work.

I also LOVE shopping again...I can remember after Baby#3 going into the stores and having to Buy L or XL shirts...and now I can pick a Small off the rack and not even try it on and I KNOW it will fit...since I am a pear shape though...I need to work on my bum and thighs hehehe but I am satisfied with how I look and enjoy getting out of the shower and getting dressed like I used to...just a few months ago, I would dread getting out of the shower because my clothes were SOOOO tight because I refused to buy a SIZE or TWO bigger after gaining that 23 pounds back...so I would go to the bathroom and fight with my jeans to get them on....they had JUST fit me a few months ago and I worked so hard to get into them...BUT NOW...I just gave THOSE few pairs of jeans away because they were too BIG!

So just wanted to mark my big accomplishment of GOAL #2 behind me...and now I am moving onto GOAL #3.

Thanks for reading...

Loooove Kasey UmmKhaled

Grampa Lafleur...

January 11th is a day that tugs at my heart-strings...it would have been the 75th birthday of my Grampa LaFleur. He sadly passed away last April of cancer. Although we lived far away from eachother most of my life, he was very special to me because he was my Mother's Dad and we loved him very much. He always sent us a Birthday card on time...every year, and even as an adult with children, I was still recieving his little cards and so were my children. He had the most beautiful signature...I can still picture it. I saved some of them, and hope to come across one when I go through my things. He used to call us and we all had a turn to talk to him..I can still remember what his voice sounded like. His name was Maurice and my mom said it was "Mo" for short. So in naming my newest baby...BoKhaled wanted to name him Mohammed after his own father. When my mom said "Oh, I can call him Little "Mo" like my Dad"...it made the name easier for me to love and more special to me. When I tell people his name I always say after my father-in-law and also my Grampa. Not able to see him before, makes me really sad so I can't talk about it because I wish I would have gone when I could. I love you sooo much Grampa, and I love you Mom... and InshaAllah (God Willing) we will all be together in Jannah (Heaven). Ameeen!
