dieting, cleaning, and eating chocolate chip cookies

Is it wrong to be out of breath during the warm up of an exercise video? My baby weight seems to be hanging around and something needs to be done. Why can't eating chocolate chip cookies be a form of exercise. If you do it right it really can be an aerobic work out. Baby boy is almost 7 months old so saying that I "just had a baby and that's why I'm fat" is basically a lie at this point. I guess it was too much to hope that he was going to weigh 35 LBS. What did I expect though. At one point during my pregnancy I roasted a whole chicken just to eat the skin. SO nasty but at the time made perfect sense.

So I'm cleaning my oven today. Got the spray stuff and everything. I've never cleaned an oven in any place I've ever lived. Is that gross? But last night during a chocolate chip cookie baking frenzy (why can't I lose weight again?) the smoke alarm went off thankfully not waking my baby but it did let me know that the pie I baked last week ( diet food right?) may have spilled over onto the bottom of the oven and action had to be taken. So the spray is sprayed and I'm waiting the required 2 hrs. Hopefully that will take care of the prob and I can do my late night baking without fear of waking my sweet child.

2 hrs are up and the oven is .....cleaner. I would have had to put in a lot more elbow grease to get it totally spic and span and frankly I don't have it in me right now. As long as the smoke alarm doesn't go off I'm good. Pot roast for dinner tonight will be the test.

J has figured out that he can crawl to his toy box and take out his own toys instead of playing with what mama thinks looks fun. He's leaving me in the dust.
Last night I was changing him and he was playing with the wipes box. He figured out that if he pressed the button on top the box opened but when he went to close it his hand was in the way. I moved his hand for him to show him how to close it and he gave me such a look and a very displeased grunt basically saying "I want to figure this out for myself!". Then he went back to trying to close it and once again his hand was in the way. He then moved his hand out and closed the box. Very pleased with himself he did it a few more times and then lost interest.
The first time your child says back off is such a special moment.
