Weekly weigh-in

Last week I only lost 2 lbs (I know they say that's healthy, but I was not happy with a 2 lbs loss after losing 10 the week before)  this week I was able to lose 4 so I am down a total of 16lbs in 3 wks (thanks week 1)

I'm still 5 lbs away from the weight I started dieting 6 months ago with, but what do you do.

I will say that I'm really enjoying my work outs ... I do those burst speed things where I'll walk at say a 3.4, but anytime my heart rate drops to say 151 I crank it up to a 5.3 and run for a minute, which quickly takes my heart rate up to about 170 then I get to walk for another few minutes until I repeat the process.  It's actually kind of fun

The last time I lost 60 lbs before getting pregnant with Zach I basically did it with no exercise, so this time I'm hoping to do it a little differently

3 weeks down only 7 more to go until my first goal ... my brother in law's wedding.  I hope to be able to lose another 20 lbs before the wedding.  and then in the 3 wks following I'd like to lose 10 more lbs before my 10 year anniversary and then another 15 lbs before my August 10k. which would put me right close to my goal weight ... so what is that ... 45 more lbs to go for a total of 61lbs 
61 seems like a lot, but 45 more doesn't seem so bad.

looking back

I was just organizing some photos and decided to revisit a few of my favorites and test my since found knowledge of photoshop to enhance them a little ... My you were a cute BABY !! (if i must say so myself)  I really wish I would have known a little more about photography then!!
How can a baby with such blue eyes now have hazel eyes instead??  sigh ...

ZACHARY ... NO ... NO!!

I honestly didn't think there was anything more disgusting than a baby that would not stop playing in the toilet water.  I swear he has a unique sense that tells him when someone has left the toilet seat up, or maybe it's just that he checks it all day long to see.  Well, today it was worse ... a lot worse.  I found Zach playing in Mason's training potty that I had forgotten to empty!!!!!!!  GROSS

on a sunnier note

Started a couples diet with Spencer last week and we weighed in last night:)
Korie in the lead with -10
Spencer not to far behind with -6

I guess giving up sugar, salt and diet soda can really give you some good weight loss:)

my most embarrassing experience ever? perhaps

britney -- you'll like this

So I was one of three people in charge of the "road show" for my ward, in which we had to do a song vignette to start the show.  It was supposed to be a duet between me and a girl from my ward that has an amazing voice, we had worked out harmony and had practiced ... yada yada yada
well, this girl called me yesterday and told me that she wasn't going to make it, so we replaced her with one of the YW leaders late last night and her and I were able to go through it a couple times before we went on.  Ok, so it would have been ok, but we get out there front and center with a spot light on the two of us and I realized that I couldn't see the sheet music ... AT ALL ...
well that was that, I started giggling and could not pull it together. Poor Carrie basically sang a solo because I could not stop laughing.
I think I've only had this happen one other time -- in my high school English class while I was giving an oral report.
Good Job Me -- I'm glad to know that I can still have these experiences no matter what my age

(*the cute girl from my ward had been chosen by her choral ensemble at school to represent them, which is awesome and obviously more important than singing for a road show -- so the real blame needs to fall on Davis High!!  lol) 

Top o' the mornin' to ya

This parade is so much fun!! I think the funnest thing about this parade is that the crowd is all dressed up.

I'm really glad I didn't witness this

We went for a walk with my new double jogging stroller. Both the boys chose to ride their bikes, Ethan on his big bike and Mason on his trike.  Well, on the way home Mason decided he didn't want to ride his bike ... totally fine, that is why I bought a double stroller, but then he decided he didn't want to ride in the stroller either. so, after some chase scenes and intense moments I decided to give him a piggy back up the hill while pushing the bike and the stroller.  I'm sure it wasn't pretty, my neighbor guy drove by (of course) and offered to hook a rope around me and pull me, but I assured him that I had it:)
I will recommend this stroller to anyone in the sense that it was very easy to push with one hand up a pretty good hill
