It's go time!

Hi all!  You thought this blog dropped off the face of the earth huh?  Well it didn't just postponed with births of more kids.  Well we are back in action.  Marc is super awesome and bikes to and from work.  Work is 10 miles one way.  I got a gym membership and enjoy going and working out.  I still really want to do a 5k this year.  But it may wait until spring.  We are always busy helping out others with projects and moving.   So far no time to do an event.  Anyway... we are back on track and getting fit in the process!  :)

And the new goal is...

After many promptings I am now not going to be running a half marathon this year. My new goal is not to gain very much weight with this baby. I can only gain up to 15 pounds. I am going to eat healthy and walk every day. And I hope that after November it will help to loose the weight quicker after this baby! :)

Bryce Canyon Here I come!

Last year my goal was the 5k and it toally happened! Well this year my goal is a half-marathon! I am currently still out of shape. Right now I can jog 1/2 mile no problem. So why not be albe to jog 13.1 miles? Some may call it crazy, but I call it awesome! I have figured out my jogging days and going to walk every day. I know I will do it, because I have always wanted to jog a half-marathon. So the crazy day is July the 17th. If anyone feels awe inspired to go camping and just so happen to stop by that would be awesome! I am a bit nervous. But I know I can do it! I haven't signed up yet. But as soon as Tax return comes I'm going to sign up! :)

Step Board Frenzy!

If you didn't know over the summer we sold our Wii. Money and all that jazz. It has really been hard to exercise without it. I had been walking with friends. Then we all started flaking out and it stopped working. So Marc being the cool amazing engineer that he is built us each a step board. They are made out of wood. We are now doing step board. We are hoping to do it each night. I am still under 190. I hope by doing step board it will be fun and I'll keep dropping weight. Plus I only have one pair of jeans left that fit me. So I need to get into my smaller pants. Funny how I have a ton of the smaller sizes. Good luck over the Holidays and don't gain too much weight!

exciting update!

So I have been walking with my friends for the past two months. We don't go too far, but it's fun to talk and walk. Anyway... I have been doing laundry and had no clean pants so I dug into my box of smaller clothes thinking maybe I could find something. Well my size 14 pants fit! :) I was very excited! And for the first time since Kate was born I'm now under 190! I am hoping to keep it going down! Yay! It was a fun surprise to fit into smaller pants! Walking is working!

The 5k!

We did the 5k and did our best! We jogged about a 1/3 of it or 1/2 don't really know. But we did jog and hard! We did it in 44 minutes. :) We are doing another 5k next month and next year a half marathon. :) I am going to dream big and say we are going to do it... because we will! Do or do not there is no try!

Yeah for progress!

This week has been awesome! We walked 5 days and then hiked on Friday. The hike was over 6 miles and the walks were about 3.5 miles each! Then on Saturday..... drum roll please.... I could fit into smaller pants and so could Marc! The pants were an inch or so too small and they fit! Yeah! I haven't weighed myself for awhile, but can't really... we sold our wii. Anyway... the walking is working! And the 5K is this Saturday and Marc and I are signed up and so are Holly and Sara. We are going to do the 5k and then rush to a family reunion right after! I am excited that we are going to complete a goal!
