Day #7

Today is going to be an awesome day at the park.

The boys and I will probably spend a few hours there. I want to take our dog

but it's hard to handle her and the boys by myself. She seems upset with me lately =(

Since I've been taking care of the new puppy (having to bottle feed her) Sadie (my dog) seems to be REALLY jealous. It makes me feel bad.

This is the new pup (She's only a few days over 3 weeks old now) She's HUGE already. It was hard to get her and my oldest to sit still!!

Day #6

I bought some of those resistance tubes the day before yesterday.

I am too broke to buy weights and too broke to afford the gym. The tubing was only $5.99.

I tried it out yesterday working on my arms (since I'm REALLY concerned about the lack of muscle strength I have) Let me say..my arms are pretty sore today. BUT if I want to make a career out of being an emt I need more upper body strength so hopefully this is going to help me out. =)

I wanted to get out and do some stuff with the boys today but it's still muddy.

My mother and I took the boys and my sister to the park/nature preserve again today.

We ended up on a 4 mile hike. It was a tad cold but still fun.

One thing I forgot to mention!! I tried on 5 pairs of capris/pants today and they all fit!!
Okay so I'm still shopping in the complete fatass section..but before now I only had one pair of JEANS that fit me. So I am a tad happy. At least it goes to show that I am losing weight.

Day #3

Looks like today is going to be a bit nicer (it's not so muddy out now)

Soo the boys and I will be going to the park/nature preserve. It's 10 minutes from my house and we've never been before. Hopefully it'll be as awesome as it sounds/looks.

I hope the pup is okay while we're gone though, poor little girl is having some troubles =(

Breakfast was early this morning!

6:40am.

1 Cup coffee, 3 truvia, 1 Tbsp SF Italian sweet cream

This was our awesome view for lunch today!!

 You know...I never thought just losing 30 lbs would make me feel this much better already (I've been at this weight before..but I guess I don't really remember it?) We walked an trails for over an hour (that's quite a while for these two, the little one gets so tired sooo easily) Anyway so the losing weight made this whole adventure today so much better. I could walk the trails without feeling like I was going to die. I've still got a long ways to  go but this is a good start.
