Quick Update

I did it again. I actually worked out tonight. I had said I was only going to work out every other day, but I just felt like doing it tonight, can you believe that, I actually felt like exercising. That's so weird, but it makes me feel good to work out. It was really hard tonight, my legs felt dead when I got off of the elliptical, but it felt awesome. Thanks for all of the encouragement, it really is helping me a lot. Here are some pics of the kids to keep you all coming back to my blog, I know that's why you stop by, HAHAHA!

Saturday morning, watching cartoons and eating Eggo waffles straight from the freezer.


Squeaky clean after a bath.

He is always doing this curios face, I think I captured it perfectly. He looks around things with his head tilted and an inquisitive look on his face.

What a beauty. Enough said.

Day 3, Workout

I just finished my second workout, third day. I skipped yesterday, I think I'll start out doing every other day and then add in a day each week until I'm working out 5 or 6 times each week. I also want to start doing active things with the kids. Dave and I plan on getting bikes soon so We'll be able to go on rides as a family. I think that'll help a lot. I have a hard time working out with the kids around because as soon as I get interrupted I lose my focus and quit. I have to be able to go from start to finish.Taking the kids on bike rides will be extra work too since I'll have to pull them behind in a trailer.
Gotta go watch ANTM.

Cry Baby

I was going to sit and post something, I had no idea what, but now I'm listening to a major cry baby and can't concentrate on anything. If your wondering it's not Reece.:)

Ugh

I wish I had something interesting to blog about, but nothing is coming to me. We haven't been having a very exciting life lately. Melanie's trying to encourage me to join in her weight loss goal thingy, but it's so hard for me to commit to something like that. I don't know why I have a hard time with it, I obviously have some weight to lose, but I can't seem to get motivated. I have decided to start working out more, I hate sweating for some reason so this is really hard for me. I worked out on our elliptical machine yesterday for half an hour, it kicked my butt, but I had Sierra there supporting me the whole way, she kept saying "good job Mommy" it was really sweet. It was a good enough workout that I was sweating and had to shower immediately to get rid of the icky feeling of being sweaty. I was proud of myself for going so long, I usually give up in about 5 minutes, hopefully I can keep going with it. I might post some stats about myself once I feel a little more confident about my commitment to working out and getting healthier. We'll see.

By Request

After seeing the first Bear walk video of Reece my best friend, Shannon, insisted I put the other ones up for everyone to see. He just looks so adorable, in my opinion.

Bear Walk

Reece has been doing the cutest walk lately. I see a lot of babies doing this Mowgli, from The Jungle Book, walk, but the way Reece does it is so adorable. He seems so mechanical. I got a few different videos of it and I cant remember which one i liked best so I might post another one too.

Slide Off

I had my very first car accident today. It was the scariest thing ever. I was on my way to work, with the kids, and as I got on the freeway I realized it was really icy. I had started to accelerate as I came off the on ramp, but decided to slow down as a car ahead of me started sliding and went into the center median. As soon as I tapped my brakes, I barely touched the brake pedal, I started sliding. I was freaking out instantly, trying everything in my power to correct the problem, but there was nothing i could do. I told the kids everything was fine and said I love you to them and we slid off the freeway int a small ditch. It was terrifying, I was so worried for the kids, I couldn't imagine if anything were to happen to them. Luckily the only damage was that one of my tires was flat, but I hope this freakin weather is going to warm up already, I'm ready for spring.
