Restarting workouts.

I kinda quit my workouts for a while due to getting homework done and turned in. I will be restarting my workouts on Dec. 17th, 2010. I will post pics every other Sunday to show progress. Hopefully this time I can stick with it.

Day 4, Dec. 8, 2010

Today has been a great day. This evening I went on a trolley ride to look at Christmas lights with my kids and lots of family. When I got home I did my dance workout and took Lilly for a walk. Lilly also got a bath this evening. She is looking adorable. I think that once this workout thing becomes more routine it will be a lot easier. Just gotta keep moving forward.

Day 3, Dec. 7,2010

Today I did manage to get a dog walk in. I am looking forward to my evening workout. I just can't seem to get a morning workout in. I am starting to feel a little more energetic, but tired at the same time. Wow my body hurts in places I didn't know could hurt. I keep telling myself it will get easier.

Day 2, Dec. 6th 2010

Today hasn't been such a successfull day of exercise. I did spend some time outside with the dog. But other than that no real exercise today. But I will get back to it tomorrow.
Carter, my 3yr old has kept me on my toes all day. Maybe that will count as my exercise. LOL , really I know I just have to buckle down and do it. Finding motivation is hard for me though.

Day 1 Dec. 5,2010

Today is the first day of my weight loss plan. These are my first day before pictures.  I already slipped up and bought taco bell for lunch. I am going to workout with my dance workout game  this evening at about 9:30p.m. I will post new pics every Sunday to show any progress I am making.

Motivation

Recently a friend from school started a blog on her weight loss journey. She has inspired me to do the same. I am not going to give out all the info on my dimensions but I will give weight updates. I hope that anyone who follows this will help to keep me motivated and not put me down. My begining weight is 230lbs. I will update my weight as often as I can and list how I am doing on my exercise routine.
My routine will include taking my dog, LillyAnne for a walk at least once a day for 30min. and 2x a day doing dance workout on the wii.
I will also be cutting out a lot of the eating out. Only home cooked food for my kids and I.
Wish me luck on this journey.

The End of a term

Wow can you believe that another term is over. We are getting so close to the end. All though I am frustrated with my academic advisor for not setting up my next classes yet, I am excited to find out what I will be taking. Good luck to all of you on your upcoming adventures.

My Baby Bailey

Yeah!!!! We went for the sonogram of Bailey's kidneys and everything came back normal! Such a relief. Now we can get back to the chaos of remodeling and moving!!!

My Baby Bailey

This past week my 2yr old Bailey has been very sick. She has run 105 fever for most of the week. I finally took her in to the doctor because she just wasn't getting any better and they run blood work and urinalysis. The blood work showed that she may be having some serious kidney issues and the urine showed that she has a uti. She goes in tomarrow for a sono. for her kidneys. Please keep us all in your prayers. I will update on her status as soon as I know more. Thank you all for caring.

School

Wow how time flies. When I first found out I was taking Comp II this term I was terrified. As the weeks go on I am finding that I am enjoying this class and even learning to enjoy writing a little bit. Thank you to Professor Penny Zang and my classmates for making this a fun term. We are already in Unit 8 it is going by so fast. Good luck to you all in all you do.

Life

I am so lucky to have such great in-laws. They are letting us remodel and move into a house behind them because of the forclosure on our house. They are also going to let us buy the house from them. I also have to come to their house to do my school work because our internet is messed up at this time. I hope to have this issue solve by the end of this term. I am ready for some down time. I am hoping to catch a break soon.

Craziness

Wow  how can many curves can life throw at one person! I know that they say God don't give us more than we can handle, than how did I earn so much trust? Just when things start to look a little better something else goes wrong.


But on the brighter side of things my 5 yr old, Alex, had his first flag football practice today and it was so much fun watching him. I guess we will have to start watching football because I think he is the only boy on his team with no Clue. But he did great.

Happy birthday!

August 29, 2010 is my grandmother, Barbara's, birthday. I hope she has a great one. We intend on going to her house and giving her a birthday card and visiting for a bit. I love you grandma and happy birthday.

The Best Birthday ever.

Today was my 31rst birthday! I went out to breakfast with my hubby and 4 kids, then it was off to lunch with my 11yr old daughter and my grandmothers. Then out to dinner with hubby and 3 of our kids. It was the best day in a long time. If every birthday were this good I would have one every day!! The only thing that could have made it better would have been for my sister Emily to have been here. And my Late sister Melody to still be here. But I talked to emily on the phone. So it was just a fun day. Thank you all for the wishes. And have a great week./

Dearest Baby Sister

Dearest Baby Sister Melody,
Smelly Melly we miss you so. I hope you are doing well were you are now. I miss you so much. Just when I think it is getting easier Emily posts another picture of you on FB. She loves and misses you so much also. I am trying to be there for her more than I have been in the past. I am going to try to find who is taking the things from your grave. I think it is horrible that we can't put things on your grave with out the worry of it being taken. I sure hope whoever is taking these things really need them that bad. I am so sorry I wasn't there for you like a big sister should have been. I know I can't change the past but I am trying to change the now. I am trying to be with Mom and Emily more. Well I need to go for now.

I love you,
Your big sister Krista

Starting over

In the past months, since April, my family has had hard times. On April 17,2010 my 17yr old sister died in a car accident. A week later a friend of the family died and a week after that my son got the flu. My daughters hamster died about 2 weeks ago and 3 days later our beloved dog died too. To top it off we are loosing our house. Because my husbands hours have been cut. But on the brighter side we have found a house we can buy with some land. Also I got a new puppy. He is 10weeks old, boxer, my 10yr. old named him Scooby Doo. We have had for 24 hours and so far so good. No accidents in the house. He seems to be a fast learner. I have high expectations because of how well behaved our other boxer was. I just hope my expectations are to high. So dispite all of our hardships this summer things are looking up. A new start for us and a new felt happiness.

And to my sister Melody, I am glad you were my sister and will love and remember you always. I know you are in heaven watching over us and helping us get through these rough times. Alex says that he has a guardian angel and a guardian dog in heaven. He prays that you are taking good care of Max. I love you!!

Looking ahead

In the past few months my family has been dealing with hardships. Everybody has bad days, weeks, or even months. Just remember God doesn't give us more than we can handle, and when ever one door closes another opens. You just have to find were it is.

Krista's Blog Aug. 2, 2010

So the last week has been a rough one and keeps getting rougher. A week ago last Friday I got Chemical burns to my eye and throat. And then yesterday Aug. 1, 2010, my 5yrold Boxer, Max died from heat stroke and a heart attack. If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any.
