And the diet continues....

Well, this whole diet and exercise thing is proving to be a lot harder for me here at home then it was for me in Cali. I hate to say it but I think that it was because I wasn't living around my family. Honestly, I know that all of the family dinners are whats killin me. Mymoms cookin is so friggin good, and its hard to say no. But I am trying. Anyways, I have been doing good this week. Last night I did more exercises in my house, and wow am I sore! My legs hurt so bad from doing all of those dang squats. And then tonight when I got home I took Clark on a walk which was really nice. We walked for about 35 minutes and I was hurtin by the time we were done. I have also been eating better too. I decided that a diet is just not going to work for me, and lets face it, most diets just suck. So I decided to just correctly portion what I am eating and it seems to be working. I am totally dedicated to this and I hope that other people join me. I am just sick of being overweight, and I am sick of my clothes not fitting. Does anyone else out there feel my pain??? Its a hard knock life... =)

Day one of the diet....

ok, so day one... not so bad. I woke up and ate breakfast just like I said I would, even though all I had time to grab was a granola bar... No matter what I do, or how early I get up, I am always, ALWAYS running late in the morning. Thus, the reason for the pathetic breakfast. sheesh... Anyways, lunch wasn't so good because Sarah Coy came and visited me at work. And you know that when someone comes and visits you at work you HAVE to go out to lunch. Its in the "friend/family member" rule book. Seriously, look it up! =) So, lunch kinda blew my diet plans, but I vowed to do better at dinner. And I did. I ate some refried beans inside a tortilla with a liiiiiitle bit of cheese. Not even enough cheese in there to taste it, but I KNEW it was there and that was all the comfort I needed. So, then for my exercise I decided to try something new, and I exercised while I was watching TV. Every time a commericial came on I got up and exercised until my show came back on. I did crunches, squats, girly push-ups, and even running in place. And WOW did I get a work out. I'm sure I looked like a nut, but it was actually a very good work out! I got in about 125 crunches, 30 push ups, 20 squats, and about 10 minutes of running in place. It really was not a bad deal. So, anyways, That was my day. not too shabby. Sure beats Taco Bell and a night with the remote. =)

My new goal

Ok, so this is me. AFTER I have gained back all of the weight that I lost in Cali and then some! So... I was thinking, and I know that I need to start loosing weight again, but everytime I think about it I just get lazy and put it off for another week. But now, after seeing what I look like lately, I have decided to get my butt into gear. And I have also decided to update my blog daily with the info on how I am doing with my weight loss goal so keep you all updated on my progress. And it would be really awesome if all of you would do it with me. I am totally serious about this, and it would be great if we could all do it together. So, my goal for this week is to work out every other day and to eat breakfast every day. I usually skip that meal, which leads to me pigging out by lunch time. Ok, I'll update as I go along. Who's with me?

Dave and Clark... Best Friends

Dave and Clark LOVE sleeping together. Seriously, I catch them sleeping on the couch together all the time. Which is funny because I don't like it when Clark is on the couch. But Dave is the nice parent. =) Anyways, they are totally snuggle buddies.




Aww... look at them. So cute =)

My new Job!

I recently started a new job with Graystone bank and I LOVE it! I left the old bank I worked at because it was HORRIBLE, and found a job that I truly love. The office that I worked at just opened on May 12th, and the office is brand new. They hired me as the Branch Sales Manager, which basically means that I am the branch manager. Wahoo! Its a great place.



This is a shot of my office before they moved all of my furniture in. It is so nice to have my own office with my own things in it. Everyone needs to come visit me at work!

Me and Kammy

This was taken shortly after Kamyden was born and I just love it. She is probably the cutest little girl in the world! I absolutly LOVE holding her and putting her to sleep. Except lately she has gotten into a habit of spitting up on me EVERY time I hold her. Oh well, I still looover her!

Dave and I

I took advantage of the fact that we would be taking some family pictures and snagged a few of just Dave and I.

The Family Pics

For mother's day this year we decided to take some pictures of the family while my mom and dad were in AZ visiting her family. It was really fun to get all of us together.

For the kids, this was kinda the best that we could get. They were all over the place. Go Figure
