Family Update...

Well, I just spent a lot of time updating my blog page! Fancy huh? As for our family...I am sorry that I haven't updated in a long time but we have been sick and lazy! Somehow...Kaze has avoided all of our colds. Thank the good Lord! Sick babies are no fun. As for me...I am making some healthy changes in my life. We recently got a treadmill and I spent some birthday money on the "Biggest Loser" DVD's! I have been doing Yoga (that is really hard) and training for a 5K on the treadmill. Some of you may think a 5K is nothing but let me tell you that I have NEVER ran a full mile without stopping in my whole life. This is hard for me. I really just need to build up the strength in my legs because they give out way before my lungs even get a chance to burn. Something is up with my knees. I don't know what it is but I will get through it. Okay...I am going to totally put myself out there for you all to make sure that I am held accountable for myself.

My height is: 5'5"
My weight at marriage: 115 lbs
My weight at getting pregnant: 140 lbs
My weight at delivery: 191 lbs
My current weight: 160 lbs

Okay...so you all know. My minimum goal is to get to pre-pregnancy weight of
140 lbs and anything beyond that is icing on the cake (which I am not eating anymore). So, we will see how it goes. Bottom line is that I want to be more healthy. I want to make better food choices and portion size choices. My dessert now when I have a carb craving is a hostess 100 calorie pack, which gives me my sweets/cakes, etc. without the 500 calories that go along with it.

Mark is running again also. Except that he use to be able to run a 7 minute mile and although he is not as fast as he once was...he can at least still run a couple miles without stopping. He is obviously in much better shape than I am but together we will each meet our goals. He played soccer...he is use to running. His work is slow but it is meeting our needs!

I am looking for a side job to earn spending money that will allow us to do more playing and visit family. Tyce is potty training (still). He simply does NOT want to go in the toilet. He is lazy. But...he does look absolutely adorable in his boxer briefs.

Kaze is growing so big. He will be 4 months old on the 16th. He coos and giggles and smiles at everyone. We went through quite a tragic time with him recently where he didn't want anything to do with Mark and it was horrible. Mark was sad and didn't understand why his baby didn't like him and would just scream. BUT...he loves daddy now and will smile and talk to him and even lets Mark hold him but he still prefers mommy! I'm okay with that!

God be with you and yours and PLEASE pray for spring...I am so done with this winter!
