Next Top Model?

Lilly got into Isaac's pj drawer and came out wearing them like a fur. I think she's got a future in modeling!


Isaac came out maybe 5 minutes later or so and was modeling Lilly's green pjs! He's got the face of a future model. Don't ya think?




in weight loss news, I can now fit into 2 pairs of my pre pregnancy pants! 5 pounds lost so far!

Stuff

So last week I lost 2 pounds! Wahoo!!! That's how much I lost in January. I am super excited about that. I honestly didn't think I would lose that much because of all the yummy goodness at the super bowl party, but I did. I was able to do my 3 runs and my 2 shape workouts. I might be changing my shape workouts a tad. I've done my first run of the week and can I say it completely kicked my butt. The run is: 5 min. warm up walk, run 3 min, walk 90 sec, run 5 minutes, walk 2 1/2 minutes and repeat. I ran about 97% of it. The last 5 minute section I had to stand on the side rails for about 10 seconds twice, but other than that I did it all. Jeremy and I have made a pretty good schedule that works for us, so we are both able to hit the gym. Oh and here is the website I get some healthy recipes from. Some favorites of ours is the garlic roasted chicken and bourbon chicken.

On Isaac and Lilly, they are super active and busy! I'll leave you with some recent pictures of
them.

Notice the white basket? He used that to climb onto the chair! He's a climbing machine these days! He uses that white basket A LOT!

Getting into the wipes warmer! Isaac climbed onto the rocker and knocked down the wipes warmer and fun ensued! Lilly is probably the one mainly responsible for tearing them into little tiny pieces!

weight loss progress/ February goals

So I started out January 2010 weighing 188 and am starting February 2010 186. I lost 2 pounds this month.....not a whole lot, but it's progress. I honestly thought I would've lost more since I went from basically not exercising to exercising 3 times a week. Maybe my metabolism is super slow, but I do feel better and feel a bit more toned. My jeans are fitting better, so it's going. Actually the first week of January when I started exercising i lost 2 pounds right off. But then my Aggie girls from college had our annual reunion in the middle of January. I had tons of fun! But my 2 pounds came back on. So I started back at it and have lost 1 pound a week the past 2 weeks.

Jeremy and I have been trying to eat better at home. We have "The Best Life" cookbook so use some of those recipes and my good friend Kristin gave me a lowfat cooking website she uses and have found lots of recipes there that are good.

I started the from couch to 5k that Jill Le told me about. I did the first two weeks and then on week 3, I got sick, so I didn't exercise only once last week. I am starting back on week 3 and hope to ready to run for our Lifegroup 5K in March.

My goals for January were to exercise 4 times a week and read the book of Romans. I actually met those goals!

So February goals are to run/walk 3 times a week, do my "Shape" magazine workout twice a week at home, read 1&2 Timothy, and memorize 2 bible verses.

Monthly goals have been good for me. I always get overwhelmed by super long term goals, so setting short term goals work much better for me. I like even more that I'm not putting an amount of pounds that I want to lose in a month. I like the goals of what I'm going to do to lose the weight or to get healthy. Its easier for me to track that honestly.....I would get discouraged when I wouldn't lose weight in the amount of time I gave myself.

I'm trying to be better at updating the blog so hopefully I'll update about this again soon and not at the beginning of March.
