Goal Update...
I have increased my yoga to 50 minutes 4-5 times a week, I run/walk for 30-60 minutes 3-4 times a week, I meet with my trainer every Tuesday for an hour, and I am hoping to go to the gym 3 times a week.
With all that said, I have to share that I have finally surpassed the 230 point that was plaguing me... I am down to 228! YEAH!!
I think that about covers it.... I think I have officially lost my mind to be publishing my weight on the web....isn't there some sacred female code I am breaking??? Oh, well....

Running and me...
1. Run (not walk) in the Old Home Day 5K in June
2. Loose 70 pounds
3. Participate in the 2010 Susan G Komen 3-Day Walk (60 miles)
So to accomplish these goals I have reevaluated my eating habits and have done a complete diet makeover. And I have started to exercise, in some form, 6 days a week which includes Yoga and the use of the Treadmill (thank you Nana and Grandpa for letting me have your treadmill)!
So I started in the end of December at 242 lbs. And as of this morning I was down to 230 lbs and I was able to run a full 1/2 mile on the treadmill after walking 2.25 miles. This is a BIG deal for me because when I started a little under a month ago, I couldn't run more than 60 seconds without feeling like I was going to die! I wish that I had had the confidence to start running this morning a little earlier because I had to stop running at 1/2 mile because I ran out time. So tomorrow I am shooting for 3/4 of a mile!
I will also start working with a personal trainer next week at school. I will be able to work with him every Tuesday for 12 weeks. So I am excited! Wish me luck and I will keep cyberspace up to date so that you all can keep me on track!

Snow.....AGAIN!
Anyway, Church was canceled again today. Jesse and I were talking and we both agree that Church has been canceled more this year than in all the proior years combined! In one way it is noce to be able to stay home and drive on a Sunday morning, but I actually miss going. Yes, it is spiritually uplifting, but I miss seeing my friends and catching up on what is going on with them! Oh, well maybe next week it won't snow....although I am not holding my breath!

It's 10:00, do you know what your children are doing?
For those of you that cannot tell that is pink, purple, white, and blue PAINT all over the wood floor and walls!! Yup, the Autistic child that doesn't like gooey things on his hands decided to unlock the childproof lock on his closet door, climb to the back of the top shelf of his closet, and pull out some of my paint!
Aidan himself was also covered in paint (sorry no picture but I was way to angry to look at him), but Jesse being the supper smart person that he realized that I was much to angry to wash Aidan -- so Jesse washed Aidan and I hit the floor. I must say that scrubbing the floor at this time of night is not my idea of a good time!!
I also learned that when the lovely children found the camera this afternoon and where playing with it, that they broke the shutter -- it took much effort to get the above picture. That is 2 strikes against my darling child! All I can say at this point is that he is lucky that Jesse was home from work and that Jesse was able to stay calm!
Anyone know how to get paint out of the grooves in the floor?
