A life update

Still sitting here at 128/129. Can we move on already? I can tell I'm toning up but I just gotta get back into lifting weights consistently. After the tri is over, I definitely want to bike, swim, and run at least once a week to keep it up and continue to do a tri once a year. My new plan, after Jersey, will be to do p90x but sub yoga/plyo on tues/thurs for yoga at the gym, and then do plyo on saturday when you're supposed to do kenpo. It will probably be what I need to drop the weight.

Life is just crazy right now. We have every week FULL of stuff. This Saturday, I have NOTHING planned - except for making sure Eric has everything he needs done before the concrete comes. I'm not gonna plan anything though, and get some photos put on dvd for some clients, clean up the house for family coming soon, and tie up some loose ends on some projects. Saturday is going to be a good day to just catch up on some stuff I think.

Because we have so much planned, I feel like winter is just a step away.

This weekend - time to relax, hopefully.

July 30th - tri

August 6th - carpets cleaned, finish concrete, mom/sister get here

August 13th - ripping out old garden and redoing, putting in a HUGE new veggie/fruit garden

August 20th - JERSEY

Then, one last weekend for the "summer" months and winter should be on it's way. I don't consider September a summer month - it's more fall, but since Utah doesn't really have a fall, maybe our summer will continue a bit more before turning into dead winter again. Who knows! But then three months later, it will already be time for Christmas. CRAZY!

I can't wait until we go on vacation to Jersey, come back and can just RELAX. I'm in the process of changing over my photography website as well - and changing the name of it. I'm meeting with a company on Friday to discuss adding some deals to their sites, and I'm going to actually pay money to advertise in the next bit. I'm excited about a new change and getting it rolling more. I did a wedding this last week and forgot why I stopped pushing myself so much - so getting back on track there.

We're spending everything we have saved on our fence/driveway extension. The next step will be to get back on track with savings, and continue our emergency savings so we can have a good 18 grand in emergency funds before a baby comes. Hopefully, Rox gets knocked up, and her babies can sell for a grand each. :)

I've been taking my pre-natal vitamins religiously. My friend has taken them since she was in high school to avoid spina bifida - cuz her sister got it. She said the more folic acid you take, the better - so I'm hoping I've got enough going to be safe on that side of things. The doctor said take them three months ahead of time, and so I think I'll be perfectly safe by the time we start trying. Now, just gotta lose these last 8 lbs before getting pregnant. I don't think I could stand making the smallest part of my body so big, while having huge legs and huge arms! HAHA We'll see what I can muster. Plus, I want to be able to exercise as much as I can while I'm pregnant, and the doc said to do whatever I want now so I can continue to do it - so can't really slack in that area.

I also need to get better at blogging. We've been so crazy, I've just stopped. Here AND on my normal blog. I don't have too much to put on the normal blog - except about the tons of projects we have done in the last bit. Need to get that on the blog before the tri. And then I need to make sure I update this as well. I've been using MFP to track my calories - and I need to better at that too so I can see what I'm eating and how it's affecting my weight loss.

And last but not least, I need to make dinner. I have this great want to just sit down and cook all day. Ugh - why do I have a full-time job again? Oh that's right... still need an income. DARN. haha

Sorry this is all so random. Just lots of thoughts.
