The boys playing ball

Will's favorite thing to do is play ball with dad & Bas. He laughs & laughs when Bas brings the ball back & just stares when he's chasing the ball. Jason can't wait till Will is old enough to throw the ball for Bas. Here are some pics...

I'm having a blah day....

Today it is snowing! This sucks!!! I miss spring. But this makes me more excited for Hawaii. So I am debating on whether of not to quit paying Weight Watchers $12 a week. I found a "Fitness Tracker" in an old day planner I have. But it could easily replace the little booklet they give you each week. I don't attend the meetings because they don't motivate me (when you are skinnier than 95% of the people there you start thinking "Hey, I look good.....have a cookie"), and when I weigh in they always ask me how much more I plan to lose, like I'm not fat enough or something to be there. I can even buy the official WW scale at Bed Bath & Beyond: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=146036453&sku=14067442&rn=444&col=%2D99&mesg=Items+were+added+to+your+cart%2E+%3Ca+href%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ebedbathandbeyond%2Ecom%2FshowCart%2Easp%3Forder%5Fnum%3D146036453%26retloc%3Dproduct%252Easp%26retarg%3DSKU%253D14067442%26%3EProceed+to+checkout%2E+%3Cimg+src%3D%2Fimg%2Fglobalicon%5Fcart%2Egif+border%3D0%3E%3C%2Fa%3E

So why do I spend the $12 a week? Will I lose motivation if I don't have a little old lady telling me my weight? Can I just buy the scale and keep it at my mom's house so I have to go there & weigh in instead of weighing myself obsessively every day (which I do anyway, but my current scales doesn't go to the ounce)? She's a little old lady now, so she could read it for me if necessary. The scale pays for itself in 2 weeks with my coupon.

Should I just find a different meeting to attend with (hopefully) more women like me instead of the "relief society types" that attend my current meeting? It's hard with Will because he's always cranky at night so I couldn't bring him to those meetings. I'm going to go to a Saturday meeting this week & if it's not better, I think I am going to drop out & do it on my own instead.

The countdown begins

So it is officially 30 days today until we go to Hawaii. (Coincidentally it is Will's 4 month birthday! Happy Birthday Will!) Anyway, I am "officially" back to the pre-pregnancy weight thanks to a combination of Isagenix, Weight Watchers, exercise, and breast feeding. However, I still want to firm up and lose another 5 pounds (or more) before we go to Hawaii. I'd like to wear the pre-prego "skinny jeans" instead of the pre-prego "normal" jeans. Everyone has three types of jeans right: skinny, normal, & fat? Sorry, I digress....

So, in order to achieve this goal I will be reducing my Points to 30, instead of the 32 I am allowed, and increasing my exercise (resistance & cardio) to 1 hour per day EVERY SINGLE DAY until we go to Hawaii. If I am brave enough, I will actually post my before & after pictures.....depending on how good the after pictures are :)

I can't wait till it warms up enough here to move the exercise outside, but in the mean time I have my treadmill, total gym, & a library of exercise videos.

My son can roll over!

Watch him now, here he goes.........

Unfinished projects

So we've lived in our house since June of 2005 and that whole time I've MEANT to build in some shelves next to the fire place. Well I finally had time now that I have a great full time job as a stay at home mom. I also trimmed out the fireplace (which was unfinished almost 3 years) and bought a new rug so the room is a little less beige. And here are the results:

Jack likes the new rug too!

Colleen says I need a blog....

Apperantly I am the only person in the western world not to have a blog. So here it is....now what?
