Long Time!

So it's been a really long time since I've posted and it's about time that I made up for that. The last time I posted on our blog, Selah was 2 months old! She is now almost 3 years old! It's been too long, my friends.

So much has happened in the past almost three years that I can hardly go back and summarize all of it. What I can say is that I'm dissapointed in myself. In my last posting, I stated that I was devoting myself to eating better and losing weight and I have not done that. I am the same weight that I was at that posting! Yes, I've lost weight...and then gained weight...and then lost weight...and then gained weight. It's time for it to stop. I never saw myself as a yoyo dieter but that is what I've become. I have goals and aspirations and none of them include being obese. It is time that I got on top of this for good. Four weeks ago, Lee and I started working out and eating well and we've seen amazing success so far. My goal was to lose 8 pounds a month and Lee's goal was to lose 15 pounds a month. The first month, Lee lost 26 pounds and I've lost 12. I'm pretty happy with those numbers and it only motivates me further to continue with this path. We are upping the intensity of our program this month and so we hope to see the same numbers or more in the next month. We're going to do this and I'm excited that in 3 years, when I look back at this year's blogging, I won't have to be dissapointed that I didn't keep the promises that I laid out for myself. Below are the promises that I'm making to myself and that I am determined to keep each day.

1) Work out at least 5 hours a week.

2) Be to my marriage weight (155) by Christmas

3) Be to my high school graduation weight (130) by 4th of July.

4) Run a 10K by 4th of July

5) Run a half marathon by my birthday September 28, 2014

These are the goals I have set for myself. They are fairly lofty for an almost 30 year old mother of three who hasn't been in shape for the past 8 years, however, I'm going to do them.

Today is the last day that you will see me at this weight. :)

Have a great day! I'll post some photos of the kiddos very soon. Since Wednesday was Lee and my 8 year anniversary, we are going out tonight kid free!! We don't get that very often so we are super stoked!!
