Our New Friend Andy

Patrick and Paige have a friend named Andy. They watch him when his parents go out of town. He has Cerebral Palsy. They invited us to spend the day with them. We hung out and played games and went and saw the movie "Bolt" and then ate at McDonalds. We had a fun day. Thanks for inviting us.

Patrick, Andy and Paige. Best Buds.

We love you Andy.

Here are the boys having a blast playing in the playground. They were acting like crazy monkeys. We went to see a movie and I stuck my head in this poster. I was scared...

We played Electronic Life. JJ is covering his face cause Cody had gas.... ha ha

I love cody's face...."WHAT????"



Here is a video of JJ with his new Ripstick and Cody with his Heely's.

Week 2

So my week 2 weigh in was not as large as last week but I think that 4 pounds is pretty good. I also joined a gym and commited to it for 1 year. Look at me go. I have never stepped foot in a gym much less joined. Look out sore body. I know it is a coming

Week 1

Here it is. My weightloss for the first week was 10.2 whole pounds. Yes I said 10 POUNDS. I am thrilled and amazed. That is such a boost for my morale. I am in the mind set that junk food makes me sick and I refuse to eat it. I have cut all of my salt out, all of my dairy and most of my fat. I feel so good and motivated. Exercise doesn't even bother me now. I love playing the Wii with my boys and challenging them to competitions. Look out world. I AM ON A ROLL!

Weightloss Competition

So, I just wanted to let everyone who reads this to know what I am up to. I have joined a competition with some of my friends. We each contribute $40 at the begining and by april 6th whomever looses the most percentage of body fat wins all of the money that everyone pitched in. This is a lot of incentive for me. You all know how I procrastinate and put off exercising. We started on January 9th. I have cut out all of my salt, fat and oils. I eat 6 times a day and have eaten so many vegetables that I feel like a garden. That being said, I am so excited. I am finally READY to start living my life like I should. I am going to loose this weight that keeps me from playing with my kids. I will never forget the day that Cody said to me " Momma, get out of the bouncy house. It might pop." He had no idea how much that hurt. I didn't get angry, I got out and wandered out to cry and wallow in self pity for a while. Damn! I want to bounce in the bouncy house and I want to go on the amusement rides when I take my kids to disneyland in a couple of years. I want to live long enough to "Be a burden to my kids" as my mother so lovingly puts it. Mom, if you and dad can quit smoking, I CAN LOSE THIS WEIGHT!
So everyone wish me well and keep me in your prayers. Just know that I am exercising everyday whether it is playing sports on the Wii, walking on the treadmill or going for a walk on my lunch break.
Here is the most embarassing part. My starting weight. I am listing it so that I will be held accountable for loosing it. It is the heaviest that I have been and vow to never be like this again. I want to buy pretty clothes and feel like a woman again. Well, here goes. 328.6. Please don't gasp just keep me in your prayers.
