The best way to come home!!!

Today I worked 11-8. When I walked in the door my house was spotless and there was dinner on the table. Chris is the best husband in the world. The boys were watching a movie and were already fed. There is no better way to come home!!!! Thanks honey I love you.....

Crap....

Here are a few pictures




So on Tuesday I get up and start on my normal workout and I like to switch off on the type of stuff I do so I can get my whole body in shape. So I decided to start with some yoga to get me warmed up. I was about 15 mins into the workout,when it was time to do the lung while holding your arms out and standing still for 20 seconds, I was talking to Jackson and was trying to get stable when my back foot rolled forward and I tried to twist so that I would not hurt myself. Well that did not happen as you can see. So I am only able to do abs and arms for the next 2 weeks and then I can try to use my foot again. I did tair some ligaments but nothing broke.

Sweet!! It keeps rolling off DOWN 22 LBS

I am so tickled to share that I am down 22lbs. I was scared that with the holidays it would the other way around. I tried so hard not to eat junk food and it paid off. This is the hardest time of year with having the family's that I have that are some of the best cooks in the world. What a way to start the new year off!! WOW I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT..... I have never stuck to something like this before and actually see results.

Time for Sub for SANTA

It is that time of the year for giving and not just receiving. Every year we as a family find a family of kids that wont be able to get any gifts. Chris and I have decided for the 2ND year not to get each other a gift. Instead we will spend that money on teaching our kids on importance of helping others during this time of year. This year I had a co-worker with a close friend that the husband lost his job awhile back. He has one now (which is good) but they are so far behind we stepped up and told them we would take care of there Christmas for the kids. They have four kids at the age of 6 girl, 4 boy, 2 boy, and a 2 month old boy. So off one night to the store with our 2 boys for the shopping of the Gifts. We told them what we were doing before we left so they would understand. We allowed them to pick out all the toys for the 3 older kids. I picked out the baby stuff and the clothes. We made sure and got some toys to wrap, a toy from the big guy that comes down the chimney(since that is what kids will remember the most), and a new outfit to wear. This year we had some generous help from Mike and Laura Lance( my parents) they got them a new set of pajamas for them to open on Christmas eve. and to wear for the night. We feel like we did a great job this year (as you can see from the picture).Yes and I am proud to announce that Chris's parents chose to help out with food. They bought them a Turkey, eggs, bread, muffins, milk, pineapple, oranges, potatoes for a nice meal on Christmas day. It looks like a lot but there is 4 kids to take care of. We enjoy doing this as a family and know one day our kids will truly understand in what we have chosen to do each year. We are very proud of our parents to choose on there own without being asked to pitch in. It was there choice and example of life on why Chris and I do things like this. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We hope you all have a good Christmas and a Great new year. Best wishes and remember to PAY IT FORWARD.

HIP HIP HOORAY I HIT 10LBS YESTERDAY!!

I know that I am going a little over board on this weight loss thing but, My first goal was to hit 10lbs I wanted to do it by the end of Oct. but I am still happy that I made my goal. My next one is 20lbs and I am thinking that I will gave myself till February. That way I know I will be able to do it.(I hope). I have been sick the last 2 days and I have not been able to do a lot so I am scared of the scale. But still happy about the 10 lbs

Mind over Matter rocky road

This was in taken in June 08


This was taken 3 weeks ago.


This was taken today 11-6-08

So I don't rememeber when I updated my mind of matter. But I know that it has been a few weeks. So I have tried not to weight myself more then once a week but it is hard. The last week it was kind of scary. I was due to weight in at work, and I did on the first day it opened. There was a 5 days period in which you could weight in, so I thought that I would do it before I forgot. And of course after I do that I gained 2 lbs back, I weight myself today and I have lost a total of 9 lbs. I am so happy that I have stuck with this new life style. I am posting pictures to see if you can see the changes. I can see it and thats all that matters.
