I think the funniest thing about our situation is that 2 weeks ago when we got our couches, JR and I both made the comment that we were NOT going to be moving anytime soon. We both agreed that if it was possible, we would be purchasing our house at the end of the rental agreement. Of course the next day, we were talking about moving to Katy so that JR would be closer to work. Little did we know that a tremendous opportunity was right around the corner. I spent the entire day yesterday looking at houses online. Whew! The thing about the area we are moving to is that it is much more expensive - but better quality and usually much larger homes. Plus, I love the little neighborhoods. I love that there is no ghetto areas, however; there are hillbilly neighborhoods. This makes me SOOOOO happy because I feel like we are going to get to raise our children in the same manner that I was raised....small town up bringing. I am not saying it is better...only that it is what I am used to and therefore is somewhat comforting to me. I am so very excited about all this, plus, we will only be about 20 minutes from my parents...30 tops! I absolutely HATE that Logan wont be getting to see Davin as much...they have really become such wonderful friends and it will be heartbreaking to not have those playdates anymore. My only comfort is that he will be able to play with Isabella and Isaiah a lot more. Davin is only 71/2 months older than Logan, where as Isaiah is 15 months older than Logan. So, the age difference is a little harder, but maybe it will be a good thing. As it is, Logan has learned SO much from Davin, so maybe being with an even older friend, he will learn more! Who knows! I am hoping to go back to working for the school, although of course that wont be until August, so it will be nice to still be at home with the kids. Not to mention that by the time I go back to work, Landry will be 10 months old! Hopefully I can put Logan in the Early Start program at the elementary school. It sure would save on daycare cost!!!
Okay - so JR and I have been saying that we are going to get in shape for weeks...months really. So, I have done what I can as far as the foods we eat. I have stopped by sodas (and after 2 weeks I dropped 5 pounds!!!) I buy whole grain everything - flour, bread, pasta, etc. I cook from a weight watchers cook book. Anyway, I have done all that, then I started doing yoga and strength training, along with some cardio from the wii fit plus. Unfortunately, I stopped about 2 weeks ago. It is so hard to fit in to the day. I was getting up and doing it before the kids got up, but somehow they would always seem to wake up halfway through my routine. A couple of weeks ago, our friends Brian and Tina told us about this new workout they started call INSANITY. so JR and I decided to give it a try. We had to wait a bit in order to buy the dvd's...there are 13 of them. Anyway, we started on Monday...and it is just AWFUL! JR and I are in so much pain right now! LOL We cant even get all the way through the damn warm up! How sad is that. JR has much more will power than I do and he can push himself further than I can. He is doing a great job and I love that we are doing it together. We aren't hard on each other, but we really encourage one another to go just a little longer than we think we can! This workout is so incredibly hard...you have to see it and do it to believe it. When I first watched the workout, I was litterally scared to try it...and once I did it, I thought I was dying! I literally came so close to vomiting! Anyway, at this point, I am not really trying to lose any more weight. I just want to tone everything up. With my height and build, I really dont think I should weigh any less than 135. 140 is really ideal for me and I weigh 144 right now. So, I am sure that I will drop a few pounds during this process but I am hoping that I wont lose too much weight due to the muscle I will be gaining. So, my thing is to lose the fat! I have a feeling JR will lose quite a bit of weight if we stay strong and keep it up. It is a 60 day program...so we will see. The thing is.....we are about to be going to my parents, and JR will be in a hotel room - HOW are we going to keep up the program during this move??? Well, we may just have to take a hiatus, but stil stay active by going to the gym, or maybe doing the yoga and strength training...and then starting the process over at the new house....bummer....but we are going to try to do it!
Wish us Luck!
