Pardon me.

I’ve been negligent with my blog, but I feel as if even my Twitter is boring and how could I find enough to put in an entire post. So here is a little update.

On the weight-loss front I am down 25lbs now since 2-1-10 and finally seeing a bit of difference, although I am losing my motivation because I want to see more faster. So I am trying to be patient and set smaller goals for myself to help.

Jax is absolutely amazing and shows us something new everyday. Tomorrow morning is his 15 month check-up. He runs all over the house all day long and loves to go outside to explore now that the weather has warmed up. On the talking front, he is saying lots now but needs lots of work on annunciation. Dad and I understand him though so for now we aren’t worried.

Corbin is almost finished with 3rd grade and doing great. She’ll be 9yo in just over a month and is getting to be so grown up. She loves playing with Jax and he thinks she is hilarious. She reads so much and was top reader for her whole grade for Dr Seuss week with over 700 minutes reading that week. On May 15th she gets to hand out programs at my sister’s wedding and is so excited about her fancy dress.

So that’s about it for now. I’ll try to update on Jax again after his appointment tomorrow and do a bit better with this blogging thing.

Do you see that?!?! 4.5 pounds in one week! 12.5 pounds in a month! WOOT! After last weeks disappointment I really needed to see that bigger number this week, so motivating.

WI for 2-22-10

2-1-10 weight 252.0 lbs
2-8-10 weight 248.0 lbs down 4.0 lbs
2-15-10 weight 245.5 lbs down 2.5 more lbs down 6.5 total lbs
2-22-10 weight 244.0 lbs down 1.5 more lbs down 8.0 total lbs

So frustrating to see so little change. Aiming for 2 pounds per week minimum but I guess a loss is better then no loss or eek a gain. I really have been pushing myself more this week with workouts but did miss Wed, Fri, and Sun, so I guess I have to get back into the daily groove again.

My so-called life...

Well today was a typical day for us. Got up this morning bright and early to get Corbin off to school. Then I was able to go back to bed for about an hour before Jax was up. He was in a good mood but didn’t eat well because of the nasty nose he woke up with again. Got him a shower and got us both dressed and ready to go to the YMCA. Today I did my usual 20 minutes on the tread climber but changed things up during my 20 minutes on the treadmill. I actually worked up my speed and pushed it hard for 5 minutes before working back down. It actually wasn’t as uncomfortable as it has been.

Now I’m at work and it has been a pretty laid-back day.

Like I said typical day and life with us is fairly simple.

New Era

I have a new cell phone now. And it has all the bells and whistles so, I started a Twitter and plan to start blogging and Twitting frequently now. I really hope to make some new friends and meet lots of different people doing this.

Jax Update!

He had his first birthday a few weeks ago and his one year check up the following week. He now has 8 teeth and seems to be slowly working on those molars. The week after his birthday he started taking steps, just a half dozen at a time to start, but now is walking everywhere. He has even started getting much better at turning and changing direction. He still isn't saying much, but really communicates well in other ways and understands so much. At his check up he weighed 20lbs 13 oz which puts him at 25th% for weight and was 30.5 in which places him at 50th% for height. This is up from 6 lbs 3 oz 17.5 in at birth. Also he took quiet a leep height wise as he was only in the 25th% for height at his 6 month check up and had grown 2.5 in in one month according to what WIC measured him as at 11 months. Here is one of my favorite pictures of my big boy from the morning of his birthday:

WI update for 2-15

Well just 2.5 more pounds, but a loss is a loss. I think it may be time to step up the cardio just a little.
