Day 468

It's been awhile since I posted anything, but today I feel the need to get more than a little "real."  The first picture I'll post is what I'll be wearing into the gym tonight. 

This picture is what I will be wearing into the pool. 

The reason I felt the need to post these photos is because I've seen a lot of posts about mothers needing to just wear whatever they want and that the kids will only remember that their mother was there. While yes, we do need to do that, we live in a world filled with cameras everywhere and a lot of people feeling the need to make fun of a larger person trying to have fun. 

No I'm not skinny and I know it. No, I don't look anything like I did when I bought either of these swim suits. But tonight I'm putting myself out there because I have past the point of caring. I not only had 4 kids in 5 years, but I was also pregnant 5 times in those 5 years. My second oldest is also autistic, but loves the water. So I thought it would be not only best, but also fun for him to take swimming lessons with his older brother. Since he's autistic, I get to get in the pool with them to help with instructor. While I might be being photographed by some people without knowing, I'll be having fun helping to teach 2 of my kids how to swim and be safe in a pool. 

Day 647

So with 4 kids being sick constantly for about 4 months now and last month being the worst, I'm going to skip ahead and post all my outfits I at least remembered to take pics of to catch up quickly instead of posting 30 + new ones. 

I wore this to remind me to go to the gym. 

Shirt is about 3 years old and I think the pants in this pic are only a few months old. 

That's one of my hubby's shirts and the capri's are about a year old. 

This pic is from st Patrick's day, hence the green shirt on over my work out shirt. The hubby told me that having Irish ancestors, two (used to be all three) of my names being Irish didn't count. But the shirt is a couple years old and the pants are about a year old. 

The shirt I've had for around 7 years I think, jeans only a few months. 

One my my hubby's shirts again and I think the pants are only a few months old. 

Hubby's shirt, can really see the baby belly chub is still hanging on in this pic and the sweat pants are about 6 months old now. 

My All Blacks rugby shirt is a few years old now and my Nine West jeans are about a year old now. 

The jacket is almost a year and a half old, the tank is about a year old and the pants about two. This was right before we went to run hills yesterday. 

And now I'm all caught up! 😜

Day 646

It was supposed to be and was mostly a lazy Saturday at home. We did venture out once, but I only wore my yoga pants I've had for about 4 months, the hubby's t-shirt and the rugby hoodie and flip flops wishing for warm weather. 

Day 645

Got to have a morning all to myself, so I ran away to the gym wearing a year old shirt and pants. 

Day 644

Skipped

Day 643

Stressful day and j felt like I had too much makeup. All I know/remember is I did wear clothes and I know that my rugby hoodie. 

Day 642

Windy, rainy and cold day. The shirt is a few months old, newer skinny jeans and jacket.
