Bad mommy

So Zack was sick most of the weekend. But since we were out of town Inever took him to the dr. I finally get him in yesterday only to find out he'd had RSV and an earache. Ifeel so bad that he was so sick and never took him in. But at least he is on the mend.

I have still been keeping up with my training for the 5k in May. I even bumped up the treadmill speed. So I am felling good. I also bought a used Jogging stroller for babyZ to ride in for the rac and for outdoor training. I just need the weather to cooperate with me.

I haven't had any weight loss yet but it will come. I just need to be patient.

New Year and Happenings

2011-02-28T17:25:00.000-08:00

Well its been along time since we have posted. And alot has happened. We had our beautiful boy about year ago, he is getting so big. He want to walk so badly that it is fun to see him try. He continues to learn new words and mimics things we do. We just love our baby Z.

I am going to start using thisforum as a way tokeep track of myself and my goals.
i reall want to lose weight andget in shape both physically and spritiually. I am the first toadmit that i can be the biggest slacker on both counts. i start off good with goo intentions then it just falls by the wayside, i really need to work on that.

First spritually. Our ward's Relief Society, back in the beginning of February, started a 100 day challenge to reading the Book of Mormon and i am still on Day 5. but I read today and will continue on the Journey, One of the questions though from the reading asked how often do we sit and meditate, and think on the things that are truly important. And i have to admit lately not that often. when i awas in college i would go on these long walks in the evening, either bymyself or with a friend, no music, no distractions and i would have a "chat" with Heavenly Father, or would discuss stuff, depending on the situation. Almost nightly. Sometimes thingswould become so clear during those times. I Now i dont know when the lasttime i just sat there and pondered about life and what was really important. i hope to change this. I really want to make an effort to set aside the time to really "chat" with my Heavenly Father.

the second part is physically. I am overweight. i admit it. and its my own fault, I have been lazy for too many years. No more excuses. My ogal by the end of the year to have lost 50 lbs. i CAN do it, but it will be hard. so starting today i have a plan.

i will exercise everyday but sunday, I am going to sign up to do a 5k with a friend for mothers day weekend. that gives me 12 weeks to get going. today i even did the Couch to 5k day 1 week 1 with the dog. (he also got a little tubby over the winter).

tomorrow for the First month i will do my Turbo Jam videos to kickstart my plan. I will do C25k wvery MWF and use my bike every TTS. This is my goal.

But to Start it off i have repot how i am doing every week. I have decided Sunday will be my Weigh in day. but i need my starting stats so here goes.

Starting weight: 195.5
Waist:38.5"
Hips: 48"
Bust:42"

Lets hope they are smaller next week :-)

2009 TRIP

2009-09-13T18:35:00.000-07:00

As you can see bythe pictures, we took a trip to California and Las Vegas. IT WAS A BLAST!!! We started out by going to an Angels game, which we lost. :( Either way, 'BUY ME SOME PEANUTS AND CRACKER JACKS." It was fun.

We then headed to the Long Beach Aquarium and saw lots of fishes. We walked on the beach, saw lots of boats and went scubadiving. Okay we didn't do that, but it sounded fun. Swam in the ocean with the fishes, waves and even saw some nudity. NO KIDDING!!!

Finally we went to Universal Studios Hollywood, where we saw the making and makings of several famous movies. The tour was great, except for the annoying tour guide. I'm sorry, but people who barely speak English should not give tours.

On the way home we spent two nights in Las Vegas where we gambled our pension away, like we have any right. Dined out with Wayne Newton and stripped, I mean walked the strip. :) Between bathroom breaks and throwing up, it was a FUN TRIP.

ANNOUNCEMENT

2009-09-13T17:38:00.001-07:00

Well as all of you know Laura and I area expecting a baby. She is currently at 10 weeks and things are looking good. The only bad part is she's constantly "Dizzy" and "Throwing up." As some of you know, that's normal. It's also normal for us guys to just sit and watch Sportscenter all day ALSO. So for you other pregnant ladies reading this, don't get mad at us if we don't hold your hair back while your throwing up, because the "Big Game" might be on. Either way, we are way excited. We will keep you updated as the weeks go by.

Tooele 4th of July

2009-07-12T09:31:00.000-07:00

So i ran my first 5k at the 4th of July freedom Run, my time was 41 minutes 59 seconds. I still cant believe i did it. I was so sore for like a week afterwards, but it was so worth it. I actually am looking forward to next year and hope i can improve my time and maybe run the whole way next year.

We also had all of Chads family out and it was really nice being able to spend the fourth with family and have a BBQ and watch Fireworks together. It doesnt always happen so its nice when it does. more laer just thought an update would be nice.

The Great Escape

2009-04-06T13:35:00.000-07:00

So while setting up this blog we had our first real, "GREAT ESCAPE." I had gone outside and was taking picture of the "Beautiful, yes Beautiful" police car. I had put Toby on the outside leash, so we could hang out. After taking the photographs, we came inside out of the sun, drank a glass of lemonade and downloaded the photos. He kept whining, so I put him back outside.

Laura called me and said someone in the neighborhood had Toby in "Custody." I went outside and found out I had forgot to close the garage door, "my bad." He had gone through his doggie door, saw the garage was open and bolted for freedom. Luckily he has a collar with his info. I went and retrieved him and placed him in the Leetham County Jail. His lawyer stated on his behalf, "My client is innocent, but needs bail money and we are accepting donations."

I love being a COP.
