6-Week Makeover

So I had reached an all time high weight and decided it was time to do something in a major way. My parents had been on the 6-week body makeover and had each lost at least 25 pounds in a short amount of time. I am all for it! So, I am going to use this blog as a before and after diary of my attempt. My goal is to get down to at least 160 lbs, which will probably take some time. And when I get there, my new goal will be 140. Here are some before and after pictures.

These are both engagement pics and show me at my physical best before we got married. I was running 2-3 miles every day and was eating well. Then I got sick, and stopped running because I passed out while I was running because I couldn't get enough air because of my bad cold. WORST thing I have ever done. I love running and have tried since to pick it up, but couldn't make it a habit. This time I will succeed.

This is during my last pregnancy, I'm a little dough girl! I'll make it back to being thin once again! I will keep you posted!

What are we up to?

Brad: Is working in Star Valley right now doing a tile job. Also he is building some fabulous bookshelves and a new headboard for our bed! Pictures to come! YAY

Kristin: I am working on self-improvement, making my 30's better than my 20's (yes, I'm getting a head start as I haven't turned 29 yet). I am taking the kids to a new class about sign language for little kids! They seem to really enjoy it and it's fun watching them make the little hand signals, even if they're not right.

Tenille: I am afraid of monsters. (where did that come from??) I love playing on the swing and slide that are in our back yard. I think that playing with my brother and sister is fun! Especially having tea parties!

Lacey: I am an early riser lately. I am usually the first one up in the house and lately i've been sneaking downstairs into Grandma's bedroom without mommy knowing. I love my new bikes that I got for my birthday and wish the weather would get better so I could learn to ride them!

Dylan: I am so stubborn that I won't talk, even though I know exactly what everyone is saying and will do what I'm asked. I see a speach therapist and she's trying to bully it out of me... so far, I say, Ball, NO (shocker), and shoes. If you say a word enough times in a row for me, I'll probably say it, or try to say it. I outweigh my sisters and I LOVE IT! They still push me around though... my mom still says, some day I'll get them back! MUWAH HAHA

Quotes

Integrity is a strength that exists within a person. It does not crumble in the wind of change with the seasons.

Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

We should never permit ourselves to do anything that we are not willing to see our children do.

"Testimony is to know and to feel, Conversion is to do and to become." Dallin H Oaks

What I would be doing if I had time

I would deep clean my house. I know, boring! I am a neat freak and I hate clutter. I would go back to college, get my degree. Get my cooking certificate. Start a catering business. I would take my kids to more places so that they could learn more things. With two hands, it's hard to rally 3 kids, hence the triple stroller. I would read more books because I love to read. I would train for a marathon. Running is the best thing I can do to lose weight and that would be perfect!!!
