Finally I can Log in!!



Ok so I have five minutes to log here. I did it. I joined a gym. I am spending money I don't have on yet another attempt to work out. Tiffany isn't training me anymore. So I needed to do something.The boys hate it. And Ironically after taking them only one week, they both are sick this weekend. I feel terrible about it. But I remind myself that I have to do this for them as much as for myself. I will keep trying to go, and hopefully they'll get use to it. If they scream for 10 minutes they come get you out of class. I have been doing Rpm it's the cycling class. It's a killer workout, I really sweat and lose my breath. But it's the best cardio with low impact on all my joints. It can really hurt to jump around with all this weight on! So wish me luck as I press forward!

Jake have you started the gym with Nappy? Jenna what did you commit to as your one thing to do for the day? You had suggested that awhile ago.

Julie you're not alone!! We will be hot mom's at storytime, if we GO TO THE GYM!!!!!

Oh, the picture of the boys is in the bike trailer. This is a representation of our many family bike rides we have been taking in the evening in an effort to be more active!

Where is everyone?!?!?!?!

Well it has been a long while sence we have heard from anyone. I know things have been busy with some family drama and the holiday. However we must remain focused on the task at hand, getting healthy and supporting each other through any means possible including THIS BLOG.

So I'll start us off with an update. The gym had been going pretty good. I was even starting to finally see some results. But with Easter and the trip to Idaho I haven"t been to the gym for about a week. I had been doing good food wise but again Easter hit a little hard, to much sugar. So I'm hoping back on track. I can't get to the gym today because some Idaho family is coming to town and we have plans including a pizza night, so I will have to make alternative eating plans for that.

Can't look back must look forward! Yeas like to summer. All I can think about is that Lagoon annual pass I have to getand that bathing suit required to go there. AHHHHHHHH.

Well Well Well

JoAnna was that you, was that reallyyyyyyyyyyy you? :)
Well it was good to hear from you again.

Ok so the gym is still going, I was sad when I weighed myself there yesterday, no change! Oh well, will just keep trying. We are making a hard effort to eat healthy, I was SO happy to find out that Smiths is now carrying my LOW CARB pasta!!!!! It is a little pricey but worth it. We are doing a lot of salad and veggies. Terrys body is rejecting the salad, figures he finally has started to like it and the lower GI tract doesn't. I am getting a bit burned out on chicken.
Anyways time to clean my kitchen. Night, night

YOUR CALL HAS BEEN ANSWERED!!!!

well monday brandon and I went on the house trail at the rose bowl and walked it and then we ran and walked a little the rose bowl. I ate okay the past couple of days. Brandon and I are planning to go shopping for some heathly stuff at the grocery store and we are going to trader joes for dinner. Good luck at the gym Julie!!!!!!

Meow.... meow .....meow.....

Greetings from Huki and P-diddy.So I tried lamb for the first time on sat. I also ate my eggs florentine w/hollandaise sauce , FYI- Hollandaise is basically butter......and butter.....good, but not good for you. So I have not been eating very good and I need to start up again. I literally have to to have enough energy to last the day. Crazy how food does that. Not much else to report. Here's a recipe for a great balsamic vngrt to marinade veggies in for grilling, seriously I thought it was so good.

1 oz. shallot-minced 2 ozs. balsamic vngr
1/2 oz.garlic clove-pasted 6 ozs. olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard *salt y pepper( for seasoning)
1/2 tsp. sgr 1tb parsley-chopped
1/4 tsp thyme

Set aside olive oil y thyme. Whisk everything else up in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in oil to desired consistancy. Season.Add parsely, whisk once more.Done

We also made Bruschetta and tossed our tomatoes in this before assembling the bruschetta, It was so bomb diggity.

Also w/the veggies ,after they're sliced you can lay them out and salt them, then let them sit in th fridge about 20 mins ,whatever and them marinade them. The salt allows the veggies to accept the marinade , more so, allowing more flavor to be soaked into your veggies. Then grill away.


Good luck to you all. Lets all commit to something like X amount of crunches a day. Even if it's only 50, whatever. Feed back in regards to this matter is appreciated.

Siging out, doogie hows...oh sorry, Jenna......
