Totally 80's Fun run!!!!

Had a fun time with the ladies.  I stayed back with Jen.  This was her first 5K.  So we just took it slow and did a lot of walk/jogging.  She started a group for the mud run in Nov.  I think I will sign up for that too. 

My really cute medal!!!

I need to hit my 10lb more loss for Sept 1st... I am BEHIND still.  I need to get on the ball.  NO more slacking!!!  

We are moved in!!

Still trying to organize and clean and the garage is still full of boxes, but we are in!  Finally!

Started tracking food again this week.  I need to get back in track.  Hoping I can hit the gym tomorrow. I have a 5K in Sat I have not trained for in 3 weeks.  I am gonna suck ass with my time since I know I will walk 1/2 of it.  I know I can drop the 5lbs I gained over the past 3 weeks.  I am not too concerned about it. Just gotta fall back into the routine and the groove.

Been doing a lot of PTA stuff and also girl scout stuff. I am co-leading a daisy troop with a friend and then I got sucked into being on the PTA board. (I swore I would never be that mom).

Kids are doing well in school so far.  Adjusting and getting into routine. Audrie is bored already, of course.  Kindergarten is like so 2 years ago for her.  I have to keep reminding her that it will get harder and she will have more expected of her even if she already reads, writes and acts like she's in a higher grade. Katlynn is doing well with swimming and Halle joined the school band playing flute.

That's it for now. I don't have any real cool pictures yet. We FINALLY went to Disneyland the other day and got right on Cars.  Pretty sweet ride.  The kids loved it.  I think we might go back Friday night and meet up with some friends.

I will post a progress pic again in late Sept again maybe and I will add a chart of weight loss and my measurements then too. I need to make a before and after picture too when I am all said and done.  Still have like 28lbs to lose.

What a BUST.

I am positive I have probably gained back 10lbs of the 21 I have lost.  Mostly due to stress,  chaos and my crazy life.  I swear to anyone who reads this ( if anyone does) and to myself I will be BACK on track as soon as we are settled in the new house.   Here is a glimpse of the floors that were being installed today.  

Also, my darling started school this past week.  Another stress. I went to classes today to try to get them all worked out and then back between both houses trying to get things done and completed.  HOPING to move this weekend.  HOPING!!!  

We are going on date-night with our friends also.  We need a break. I need a KID break. Dave has either been working, sleeping (although not enough) or working at the house so I have been managing the kids for the past 2 weeks non stop 24-7. I am over it!!!

Here are my princesses- 2 kindergarteners and a 5th grader!!  Crazy!!  No more babies.     

 

Audrie wasted no time jamming to music getting started on homework.  She loves her Ipod!!!  

And lastly,  because we are practically living at this store.  Here's one for kicks.  Ps.. I LOATH Lowes and Home Depot right now. 

Relaxing weekend!

Had a great weekend with the ladies.  Until our 4th annual trip next year...  Here's a bikini shot!

Count down to Palm Springswith

Got my swim suit (not my 100% favorite, but it will work for laying out)... Now I need some decent color!  We've recruited 2 new girls to go with Kara and Cortney and I.  Its a fun cheap weekend kid and husband free.  Basically,  we relax, read, sleep in, play games,  get pedicures.  Sometimes we go out, but this year our plan is just to stay in and not get all dressed up but just relax and hang out.  

Oh... and did I mention, I am in the 160's now?  Well,  169.2, but I am there. I have not been there since 2009, so I am a happy camper.  Only like 15-20lbs to go.  

Down a size (or two)

I was squeezing (and I mean that literally), into my size 32 Miss Me's and my size 12 pants 3 months ago.  Now, I am happy to say I am fitting quite nice ( even a tad loose) into size 30 pants.  That's a size 9/10 I am back into.  I am still going for a goal of a 7/8 and maybe even a 5/6.  But I am happy for now.  I have lost quite a few inches around since early May.  I retired all my 32 and 11/12 pants.  I wont go back there again.  those days are over.

Off to have coffee with my favorite ladies!  Yes... I saved calories to get my self a "skinny" mocha!

Getting my run in at the gym.  

Time consuming!!!

This new house (which I might add we don't own, YET) is taking up a lot of time and planning.  We've been getting estimates for laminate, tile and carpet as well as painting the whole inside.  I like yellow, but I do not love yellow, lol!! Appraisal is this week.  I'm crossing my fingers it goes smooth and we could have the keys as early as the 15th of July.

Haven't been to the gym much this week. In fact, only 1 day and I haven't really been counting calories all crazy like.  I figure, eh... Aunt flo is in town, I am busy with a million things and I can use a break.  Back on track in a day or two.  Not too concerned.

I will add a friend of mine is looking amazing.  She has lost a ton of weight (after a baby who isn't even a year) and she is training to do fitness shows or competitions.  She is always building so much muscle definition its crazy!  She is busting her ass and it is paying off. She is an inspiration.  Way to go friend as you know who you are!!!!!

Anyhow,  weight and measurements again next week for week 12.  We shall see where I am.

Here is a pic of the twins from dance recital on Friday night.... and of course my hunky husband!!! I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off that night as lead volunteer. I had like 100 little girls I was making sure were ready to go for multiple dances.
