Sasha hates us!!!

Up Date

So 1st of all, Sasha wanted to say GO YANKEE'S!!!!!!

This is really funny.
Miranda found these really ugly teeth, she was having so much fun with them.
So I had to share.

Kiss me baby!!!

Give me a big hug!!!

Here is Miranda and Finn.
They are in school together.
She really loves him.
She talks about Finn all the time.
They share the same birthday too.

She's like Mom get out of here!!!!
Just kidding!!

We went to the Fall Family Festival at Miranda's school.
It was really fun.
I think we are going to start going to church there.
They have a great Sunday school program.

So I got Sasha saved, and her she is ready for Halloween.

Well, I just wanted to say I am thrilled that I'm down 14LBS as of Sept. 1st. As you all know I hurt my leg and have not been cleared to work out yet. So all I can do is eat the right things and it is totally working for me. I can't wait to get into some of my cloths that I have been holding on to for years. Hoping one day I would be back into them. I was wearing size 16, and guess what?? I pulled out some jeans that were size 13/14 and I can fit them!!!!! It is hard but I am ready to turn back the time!!!

Staying Busy

So of course, if you know me at all no matter with a hurt leg I like to stay busy.
So I have been wanting to stain our wicker patio set for a while and here is the before and after.

After

I really like them!!!
I am very handy like my father, I like that about myself!!!
Thanks Dad!!!

To Much To Soon

Well the bad news is I trained to hard a fast!!! I am now down and out for 6-8 weeks!!!!
It really puts things into focus. I do so much around here and now I do nothing!!!! I ended up with a fractured Tibia in my left knee. It is very painful. If I don't take the time to heal now I could hurt myself even more and need surgery. So I will be staying off it!!! It sucks b/c I only worked five shifts at Stein Mart and now I can't work, but they are really nice about it. So I guess that it for now. That care all.

Getting Fit

I wanted to blog about how excited I am about working out and losing weight. I have totally changed the way I eat, and have been eating right since Sept. 1st I am down 8 LBS so far. I'm really happy about that!!!! A lot has changed in Tony's and my life. 1st my Mom moved in with us in Aug. 1st. So that has really added a new dynamic to our relationship. We go out every Wes. even if were just going to the mall to walk around together. We don't need to go out to eat or anything just having that time together is GREAT!!!! That is also Miranda and Grandma night to have a sleep over!! It's a win, win thing. I'm so proud of Tony for doing his 1st Triathlon!!! This leads me to what we are up to now. Training and more Training. We are signing up for a 5k for Nov. It's really great. Hopefully we will do a 10k next. And next year Tony and I will be doing the OUC triathlon together. I'm just so excited to see how strong we really are, and where our bodies will take us.

Mirand is also back in school and loving it!!!! She loves her Grandma and want's to sleep with her everynight. She is sleeping in her own bed. She just went to the doctors and she is in the 95th% in her hight and 75th% in her weight. She eats anything I put in front of her, I know I'm very blessed!!!!!!!!! But she is GREAT!!!!!

Tony's OUC DownTown Orlando Triathlon 9-12-2009

I can't even tell you how proud I am of Tony. He did such a great job!!!! Before we went to this triathlon we had talked about doing the next one together and after seeing it in person I can't wait to do one. I'm so glad Tony and I can train together!!! Thanks MOM!!!!! So we have a year before we can do this one again. Maybe we can get some family to come down for the next one. Until then we are going to train and do smaller ones!!!!
So here are all the pictures. It was so great I was at the start and finish with each group!!!!

Final time 2:26

Fun in the sun and Miranda is 4 now!!!!

So I have been working out really hard and eating right for only a week 1/2 and I feel so good. I am really thankful that my Mom is here. I can go when I want and Miranda is fine. I think it is important to take time for yourself and be healthy. It also helps that Tony has been training for a triathlon for this weekend so I have been by his side when I can. I also got some great buys on new swim suits. I usually would be willing to spend $59 to $89 on a suit for me and this time I spent $20 and Miranda $14 and Tony's $8. The time to buy is right now!!!!! So go out and get you some!!!!!!! ha ha ha
I'm funny!!!!
So this summer I can say all we have been doing is the pool and more pool and some more pool.
Yes, I love the sun believe it or not, I have a great tan to prove that. But I do need my shade too. I might need to see a dermatologist after all the sun I got this summer. he he he he

Here is our girl in her new suit and shades!!!

You should have a hat on if your in the sun for a long time.
It protects your face and neck about 40% more.
Did you know that????

I think I look thinner do you????
I'm really in a joking mood tonight.

Well Miranda is 4 now. :o(
Not a baby anymore.
I'm hoping with all this working out God will bless us with another one.

Here is Miranda at school.
We had a party for her and Finn. They were born on the same day.

That night we took her to Chuck E Cheese.
It was her 1st time there.
It was fun!!!
We are having her party this weekend at Birthday World, it should be fun.
