Wednesday Weigh In

Well, i have really been slacking on this blog lately, maybe that means i have been working out real hard? A little, just busy. I haven't seen to have lost much weight but you can tell my waist is slimmer...and that is what makes me happy.

Here is a quick sum-up of the past couple weeks of what i have been up to, physically, and just the more exciting of it, ill leave out the walks to the parks in our odd weather of 50-60 degrees, or the wii fit i try and get on everyday to avoid criticism from the wii fit...we get into it, i actually caught Aidan saying "What the heck?!?! That's not right!" every time he steps on the wii fit board...oops!
For Valentines day we went snowboarding/skiing with Gina, Geoff, and Kendall's nephew Shane. Although Gina didn't ski since she was 6 months pregnant, it was still a nice time away. I loved snowboarding and can't wait to get an opportunity to go again sometime. I am a lot better snowboarding then skiing, not to say im good at all but yea you get it. I was pretty sore from breaking and falling on my butt the next two days but well worth it! I realized how much i am out of shape, or atleast admitting it!

A few weekends ago when there was a cooler spell in the crazy weather, i decided if Karen would help me out i would take the kids swimming. Not like going into our knees is swimming, since the kids jsut wanted to wade in and play with noodles, water streams, and basketballs. It was a lot of fun and to this day everytime i take the kids out Layla pipes up "We can't go home, we need to go swimming". She even did this to Gina in the car, pretty cute.

We also went bowling after swimming, the kids were beat by that night! They were only home to nap quickly and then head out to bowl with Kendall, Gina, Geoff, and I. It was a blast, my first time seeing the kids bowl, and Aidan's first time bowlling. (Layla went once when Aidan and i were away working for a weekend last year) Aidan played through 2 games, taking turns with Layla, by the second game Layla was completely uninterested and insisted that Eeyore pushes the ball down the lane or she isn't participating. Sassy girl!
This past weekend was fun, fun to be a couple and get away with Kendall. We went to Blackhawk, Colorado. Our room got bumped to a suit through Kendall somehow smooth talking his way after they messed up our other room. It was very nice, overlooking a shorter casino and mountains when we opened the doors to our mini overlook. The casinos were small, reminded us of deadwood minus the old west traded for gold minning feel. Although we did not keep our winnings...we decided to spend those too. haha, blackjacks my game, and poker for Kendall, so we took some time to do our own games why the other did theirs. That was nice too. We also ran into some family friends from way back, a family i have grown up knowing since i was 5 years old which was pretty cool.

How's your goals? How are you feeling, looking? :)

I did my wii but I have been eating way too much and have gained weight :( I need to cut back on the eating!! I have unlocked all the yoga exercises now...I like doing the yoga a lot. There are some I can not do though until I get my knees fixed, so am looking forward to the day when I can do those. I also don't dare do the back twisting ones. But there are still enough that I can do that I think are helping make my back stronger. There are still some yoga poses that amber is still number one on my wii! I also like doing the advanced stepper and am getting better at it. NO one to compete with on it since no one has done it on mine yet so I am number one on that haha!
