{2013 so far}

Our year so far has been pretty uneventful.  It must be the cold weather that sucks us into the house.  If I didn't have a job I don't think I would ever leave!

This means Dave tortures the kids.  Is it called torture if they like it?  These boys are getting big, I am surprised Dave can still handle them like he does.

I have managed to keep going to the gym now that a couple of my good friends Kim and Layne signed up!  It is a lot easier going to the gym when you are meeting people there.
Not a lot of weight loss which is frustrating.  I LIKE TO EAT!
but I'm not gaining so I can't complain too much.  And I am working more with weights to tone up

My new weekly routine is spin class.  I hated it at first but it is growing on me.  Once in a while I will get a few miles on the treadmill before the class but as of the last couple of weeks I am on a treadmill strike.  I HATE IT! 

 

Garrett is doing amazing in school!  He is so responsible and makes sure his work is turned in.  I just finished....I mean he just finished his science fair project.  Our last one EVER!  So excited.  I hate these projects! 

 

McKay on the other hand is struggling with school.  It is called laziness!  I am hoping he snaps out of it quickly because High School is not forgiving.

 

Dave is doing amazing at work and just finished inventory.  His store was very profitable and it is all because of him!  He loves his job.

 

I am still working at TestOut and I really enjoy it. They are an amazing company and I am blessed to be apart of it.  Count down to our cruise is less than 100 days!  So excited!

 

I also got this baby...Yep I am official!

 

 

Scrapbooking has taken a back seat to a new love of mine...

Crocheting!

Thanks a lot Malinda!  Just what I needed, a new obsession!

 

My first project was this scarf

LOVE!

 

My scrapbook group and I decided to make a blanket.

Every month we exchange granny squares. 

At the end of the year we will put together a blanket!

SO FUN!

These are my first attempt.  Pretty simple.

Hoping I can get more creative now that I am more comfortable with it

 

{ Amazing husband award }

Dave is pretty much the most incredible husband and I am the luckiest girl IN THE WORLD!

He has been so supportive of me in the weight loss journey and continues to tell me on a daily basis that I am shrinking...(MAJOR bonus points, right??)

Last night I did 5 miles on the treadmill.  1 mile at an easy jog and then rotating to a kill yourself run for 1/2 mile and then a jog recovery for 1/4 mile.  Repeat for 3 miles.  Then a 1 mile easy jog cool down.  I ended up doing 5 miles in 60 minutes!  Not bad.  I hated every minute of it but was SO proud of myself for getting through it.  I surprise myself everyday.

This is where the awesome husband award comes in.  We get home from the gym.  I take a hot bath. He cooks dinner, cleans up and then MASSAGES my legs???  I don't know what I did to deserve him but I am hanging on for dear life!

Thank you Dave.  Thank you for being my best friend and my #1 fan.  LOVE YOU!
