Exercise Stats 5/17-5/23

Well, another week that I'm not super thrilled with, however Ethan was sick all week so I couldn't take him to the gym childcare which hindered things a bit. This morning I met with a group of ladies from church that my friend Rhonda recently started. They are meeting Monday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings at 5:30am for a devotion and 2.2 mile walk or run. This morning there were 18 of us! I am planning on doing it only on Saturdays, as the other days Kevin and I want to go to the gym together. Here's how my week looked:

Monday: OFF
Tuesday: Disneyland: lots of walking and carrying Ethan.
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: 30 minutes eliptical, 20 minutes weights
Friday: 10 minutes eliptical, 10 minutes treadmill, 10 minutes bike, 10 minutes weights.
Saturday: 2.2 mile walk
Sunday: OFF

My goal for next week is to go to the gym Monday-Friday with Kev at 8am. Then we are leaving Friday at noon for Spirit West Coast.

One week...

....until Kev and I leave on our trip to Spirit West Coast Del Mar. For those of you who don't know, it is a 3 day Christian music festival held at the Del Mar fairgrounds. All four of us plus my Mother in law went last year and camped in the RV. It was a lot of fun, but hard with the kids. My Mother in law took care of them at night back at the RV so that we could enjoy all the music, but most of the time I was just feeling guilty about that and worried that they were giving her a hard time. So this year we are going KID-FREE. Dylan is spending the weekend camping with his Grandma, and I am splitting up Ethan care into three shifts. I don't think we have ever spent more than 24 hours away from the kids. I have a room reserved about 15 minutes away in San Diego and we are both so excited to spend a weekend away renewing ourselves both spiritually and as a couple. We are HUGE Christian rock fans and these are some of the bands we are looking forward to seeing:

• The OC Supertones: they are re-uniting for this event and they are one of the main reasons we just had to go. We have been big fans of theirs for the last 10 years.


• Stellar Kart


• Tenth Avenue North


• Hawk Nelson


• Seventh Day Slumber


• Francesca Battistelli

We tend to like the non-headliner bands (like the ones above) better than the headliners. But the headlinders are all great as well: Skillet, Newsboys, Jars of Clay, and Steven Curtis Chapman.

So a big thanks to those of you that are helping with my kids: My Mom, my Mother in law Robin, and my good friends Michelle and Kaley. You guys are awesome!!

PORTRAITS!

About a week and a half ago we spent about an hour in the morning doing a family photo shoot with Katie McGihon. She is so awesome! I am so in love with these pictures, I can't even begin to decide which ones I want on my walls. As you will see, Ethan was his usual self, happy as long as he was doing his own thing. Here they are:

He was running around like this the whole time!

A peaceful moment (yeah right Ethan was screaming, lol)


HAHAHA: What a nice family, right?

LOVE this one!

My blue-eyed Boys

SO cute, I love all of these ones where he is against the wall

Cheese!

Awww, Love my boys

Haha, this one is hilarious!

She even managed to get a cute picture of us

This is my favorite of Dylan

Our only Family shot where Ethan's not crying

Thanks again Katie!!

Exercise Week 5/10-5/16

Well, let me tell you that I am really glad that I decided to keep myself accountable this way. I am still recovering from a cold this week, and if I wasn't thinking about having to post what I've been doing, I probably wouldn't have gone to the gym at all. I am still not back to where I want to be, but I had a much better week and am feeling good about it!

Monday: OFF
Tuesday: OFF
Wednesday: 45 minutes eliptical, 20 minutes weights
Thursday: 35 minutes eliptical, 20 minutes weights
Friday: we walked as a family to IHOP: about 2 miles round trip, had to carry ethan part of the way and it was hot!
Saturday: 35 Minutes elliptical, 20 minutes weights
Sunday: OFF
