Fun Walk

The kids and I went out on a walk around the dog park area to get out of the house.  These are just some fun pictures we took while out.

Loosing It With No Plans To Find It Again!

This is going to be a hard post because it is going to have pictures of me.  Those who know me know I hate my picture getting taken.  Now, they've been taken and people are going to see them so this is waaaaaaay out of my comfort zone.  I've done one of these before but this is just one step crazier than the last one and I warn you, the pictures are not pretty. 
I owe a huge thank you to to those who have helped me get to where I am today.  I know for a fact that I would still be in struggle city and no where near the me I am. 
First to my husband, Scott.  His patience and supportivness of me being gone a couple of hours a day while I go to the gym to work out.  Also, my kids, for reminding me not to eat this or that or telling me 'you can't have that!' 
Then there is Kacie.  Kacie gave me the opportunity to work at Guiding Fitness in the Kid Sit area.  For my one hour for two days a week I get to work out in all the classes plus do the guide me program.  She's helps me a lot with nutrition too.
Last, Kylie!  Her classes rock!  She makes them fun, tough and butt kicking.  Over the past few months Kylie and I have become good friends.  She has helped me work through the walls I've hit along the way, gave me great advice on what to do when I need a boost.  She's checking in on me through out the day through texts and on facebook.  It's awesome to have someone passionate about what they do on my side to help me get healthy and stay healthy.  She's helped me change my lifestyle and the way I look at myself and her positive attitude has changed me and my attitude toward a healthier me.  I love going to Guiding Fitness to get my sweat on.  There is a huge difference between this place and the bigger chain gyms.  Guiding Fitness is as the name says.  They are there to guide you through fitness to be a healthier you. 
Now for the hard part.  The pictures.  This is where you can turn it off if you have a weak tummy. :P

(I'm using the same clothes.  The pants used to be tight on me every where, now I can pull them and have a space between the leg and the seam of the pants)

Lost so far: 49lbs

This morning when I showed the before and after pictures to Kalie she said , 'Geesh mom!'  Gave me a hug with tears in her eyes and said 'Good job'.  That made me feel really good and it brightened my day.  Thanks Kalie :)

Seth Celebrates Turning 10!

Legos Legos Legos  Seth wanted his party to be all about Legos.  If I would have known all those boys weren't cake eaters I wouldn't have made so many.  They only ate 1 cake.
We turned the plates into Lego faces

The paper Legos we cut out so Seth could make a picture on the wall.  He chose his name and a dog.
Lego dudes
Playing while waiting for everyone to show up.
Trying to keep Seth down
Will he get away?
Yup.  He got away.
Picking who's going to be on who's team for tag.
The gang, minus one.  He ran home to get something and I forgot to get another one when he came back.
A box of Legos?
Nope!  TP!!!
And an Ipod!
Blowing out the candles.
I think Seth had a great time.  I can't believe he is getting ready to turn 10.  No more kiddies in the single digits.  I am officially getting old.  Teryn told me, 'It's all down hill from here mom.  You are old'!  Oh I can't wait for her to have kids so they can tease her back for me.  :)
