Barnum's Funundrum!!!

We went to the CIRCUS!!! We took Breckan to his 1st Circus, performed by the Ringling Brother's at the Energy Solutions Arena. It was so much fun, and I believe that Breckan thouroughly enjoyed it. He eyes lit up and he watched in amazement as the motorcycles drove in circles in the metal dome. Oohs and Ahhs, cooed from his direction. His fascination with the fire was a little frightening, however. ;)

My favorite part of the circus was the new baby elephant. So cute. As well as the "body benders", and the acrobats.

We went with Sarah, Karie and Ella and it was so fun to share with such great company.

A weight loss update...

Wow.. I have been awful at keeping up with my blog. However, I have been successful in my weight loss journey. I had co-started BFL (Big Fat Losers) with a good friend Savanna and followed that for sometime, but as work, families, school, and schedules started to interfere with the group, our team started to dwindle down to nothing. We ran in the Breast cancer 5K and also met up on Saturdays for walks and runs around Sugarhouse Park. As the team started to grow smaller and the meetings became less frequent, the motivation also began to drop. I knew I needed to do somwthing as my weight just seemed to hover right around where I was stuck. Not much in gains but also Little progress. So with little thought and much excitement I jumped back into Weight Watchers. I have been a member for 11 weeks and have lost 14 pounds, I have received my 5% and 10% marks and I am now working toward goal and ultimately become a lifetime member. Weight watchers has always been so good to me. I have 2 great girls to keep me on track, Wendi & Chellci, who are also on plan with me. It has been so great to feel the difference in my clothes and the encouraging comments that I receieve from loved ones. My next weekly weigh in is this coming Thursday. So in closing I have one request.... Wish me Skinny!

So as many of you know.. i tend to have a weight obsession from time to time. Well i've been having a weightloss crisis since Mr. B was born. Yet, I lack them motivation to stick with these random urges to be fit.

Well this time it is for real!! Meaning that I am motivated and I will accomplish my goal. I long to be fit and healthy and tone. To look great in a bikini next pool season and to feel great. No longer do I want to be winded after walking up 3 flights of stairs.

My son deserves to have a healthy mom that can keep up with him. That won't die early due to heart disease caused by my own inactivity and unhealthy food choices.

Furthermore... I would love to enjoy the sports that my husband loves. We used to go on Rock climbing trips years ago and I could not do a thing. Now it has been years since we have gone but it would nice to know, that in the event that we found a wonderful rock to scramble up, I could hold my own! Hiking... i used to love hiking. Now I fear I will be winded on the slightest incline I come upon.

NO MORE EXCUSES...

I have joined and hopefully helped to grow a wonderful weightloss group called Big Fat Losers (BFL for short). I know. It sounds insulting. It really has a cute story behind it, and when our founder, Savanna, told us how she came up with it, we decided we liked it. And so it stuck.

Savanna is the cutest, kindest, sweetest girl I know. She is SO motivating. I am so glad she asked me to be a part of this group and to have our team cheering me on along the way.

Below I have attached my Motivation.

My family is my determination to become more healthy.

Sexy me in 2006

Much larger me in May 2009.

I have made alot of progress since this picture was taken. Lost a lot of weight and and shrunk a couple sizes. However, I still have some work to do and can't lose sight of my goals.

Chica

A couple months ago we got a new addition to our family. Chica is a cute little female Mutt-i-gree, that is a little ball of energy. We got her when she was 8 weeks old. However she is now about 4 months.

My Baby Boy is ONE!!!

Breckan is now One as of January 28th. He has grown so much over the past 12 months, and learned so many new things. He has 11 teeth to date. 8 in the front and 3 Molars. At his 12 month check up on Friday, He weighed 24 pound and 14 oz. He is off the charts! He started walking early December, and has a growing vocabulary. The more common words are Ma-Ma, Da-Da, sit, dog, Hi, Zack, was-at (what's that), Del... and a few more I can't recall. He can do so much and it is so fun to watch him learn. He loves to point, clap, do the ba-ba thing with his hand and mouth ( ha ha don't know what to call it), and flip his lips with his finger.

It is so hard to leave to work everyday, but I always look forward to our Fridays together, and Breckan always looks forward to his Lazy Saturdays with Daddy.

Twenty Ten....

Wow.. I have alot of catching up to do, and I promise I will. Let's see.. where to begin?!?! I started a new job. I am the Assistant Manager at Cottonwood Apartments. (A beautiful community, and I LOVE the company). My little man, Breckan, started walking in late December, has been talking for awhile and has 11 teeth, including 2 of his molars. We celebrated his 1st birthday January 28th!

Our family got a new family member, Chica. She is our little "Mutt-i-gree".
Well I think that sums it up... Ha ha. I have tons of pictures to update everyone on what has happened through the months. I will be posting them and any other updates I can think of, throughout the next week.
