On Saturday I went to a baptism for my great-nephew. Afterward,we all headed over to the parents house to enjoy some noms and have an egg hunt for the kids. There are a lot of young kids so it's chaos but it's a fun kind of chaos..mostly.
The kids with their gifts from the Easter Bunny...
~The way Josh used to say "callepidders" instead of caterpillars. Total cuteness!
~The fact that Brianna sings all the time. She loves music and dances all over,even in the grocery store if the mood strikes her.
~How excited Camden gets when he sees "big trucks!!!" or "COOOWWSS!" Even if he is outside,he will run up to tell me every time he sees a truck.
~Brady's love for his baby brother. He always says, "Aww,mom..Camden is just the cutest brother ever!"
~Brady and Camden will say "bless you'd" instead of sneezed. Camden told me this morning that Brady bless you'd after he took a bite of cereal.
~Savvy saying "HUGS!" and "I love you".
~Spring weather!
~Cookie dough,mint chocolate chip and peanut butter/chocolate ice cream flavors.
~Uber-tight hugs!
~Purple
~Date nights with my hubby.
~"Eyes Open" by Taylor Swift. L-O-V-E it. My favorite T-Swizzle song ever.
~The Hunger Games!
~I've seen The Hunger Games 4 times now...it's still not enough. I could easily see it 4 more times. I volunteer to accompany anyone who desires to see it.
~Camden's favorite song is "Pumped Up Kicks". When he sings and dances to it,I laugh every time. Thank goodness he doesn't understand the words yet.
~Savvy is developing a 'tude and she yells a lot. I *never* do that,she must get it from her daddy.
~2 more months until school gets out. Yes,really...it's a scary thought.
~As you may have noticed,I'm on twitter now. I don't know what I'm doing but follow me anyway so I feel loved. Thank you for your consideration.
Some of you may have noticed that I have become slightly obsessed with The Hunger Games. I like it so much better than Twilight,(I can hear the gasps) and you all know how much I liked that series. I've decided this..
Twilight = slight crush. I liked the movies for what they were,but a lot of the dialogue from the book just did not work and came across cheesy.
The Hunger Games = wove..twu wove! (Princess Bride moment)
Josh = Peeta
Jennifer = Katniss
The Hunger Games movie = awesome adaptation!
I've been going to Zumba classes off and on for the past year. In the last few months,I've worked out 3-4 times a week. I've been using the weight watchers diary app on my phone to keep track of my points. I'm proud to say that I have lost 25 pounds! I made that goal yesterday and a sheer feeling of euphoria hit me when I stepped on my scale! I haven't been at this weight for almost 2 years. It's so exciting and motivating!
I've also been measuring my body for inches lost. As of right now I've lost 3 inches on my hips and 3 inches on my waist. :)
I've made mini goals of 10 pounds at a time,all leading up to my goal of losing 80 pounds total.
I also have 2 other goals...
-exercising at least 4 times a week
-staying within my points range
So far I think I have done really well. I have my cheat days and an off day now and again,but I haven't felt this good and motivated for a long time. When I look at the before pictures,I'm overwhelmed at the changes I see in my body.
BEFORE - This was taken 5 years ago.
...since I blogged. I don't know why I stopped posting as often. Oh,wait...yes I do. I figure I post enough of my life on facebook that no one probably wants to read about it here too. I know I'm going to regret not having posts from the last few months,since I plan to make a book of my posts one day. So I'm going to start blogging again. For the 2 people who still read my blog,I hope you enjoy having actual posts to read.
