Horray for us!

We jogged today! This week we have walked Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. About 2.5 miles and then 3.5 the next two days. Today we jogged on the way back (granted it was only 1/3 of a mile)! Huge horrah! I haven't jogged for a year! I am excited to keep this up! We are hoping to be able to jog the whole 3.5 miles by the end of the summer! 5K here we come! Wonder if they have any at the end of the summer?

And the numbers keep dropping!

Today I hopped onto the wii fit to see what my weight was... I was a bit nervous... and I lost 2lbs! Last week I went on a 3 3/4 mile walk and didn't do too much walking other than that. Then yesterday we went on a 2 1/4 mile walk. I was very surprised that the numbers have dropped. Two more lbs to lose this month to hit my monthly goal. I wish I could tell you Marc's progress... but I can't. He's looking thinner, but I don't know his stats. We are going to go walking again tonight. We start up the canyon at the catch basin and then walk to my parents. This requires someone to drop us off. Maybe we'll figure out a different walk or something. Good luck to everyone with your work out goals! :)

Hawaii workout!

Wow can I tell you I found a very effective workout? It's called go to Hawaii with two kids. Between juggling kids and walking about 5 or more miles a day I lost 3 lbs. This is a small number... but compared to the past 2 months this is a huge step! I am so exited! I am down to 194 and my goal is to be under 190 by June 1st. Tonight we also took the jogging stroller out for it's first ride. We walked 3 miles. We started up the canyon and ended up at my parents. I figure 3 miles a day is a very good start to a great workout! My goal is to be in shape to run 5k's next summer. Good luck with all of your work out goals! :)

Our new plan...

Roger wanted us to update... and so drumroll.... I'm updating! Well we didn't do so hot on the Body for Life workout.... the campout killed it! Well we are still working out. We are walking with our kids every day. Marc and others have commented that the walking is working. So my love handles are getting walked away. We have been going up hobble creek canyon and it is beautiful and a lot of fun. Because of all our gunghoe attitude about walking we totally forgot about a meeting we had. So we need to learn to remember other things too. Last week we sold our single jogging stroller and made some money and then we bought a jogging stroller. It's a double and so both kids can go! Last week I took our umbrella stroller and the front carrier and walked to my moms... that was convincing enough that we needed the double stroller. So this Wednesday we'll be walking in style... and walking and walking. We are making progress and I feel better. We'll let you know next week how we are coming along. On the side is a picture of our new stroller! Yeah for double jogging strollers. And they have tripple jogging strollers... I really don't want to need one of those!
