Time to Kick my butt into shape!



Okay so its no secret i got fat when i was pregnant with Keira... yup gained over 80 lbs. I stopped keeping track after that. So to be honest i have no idea what i weighed at birth. But i do know my Fat butt didn't even fit into the maternity clothes i had bought at 6 months pregnant. I couldn't quite start working out right away with my C-Section but as soon as i was able i started. It had been so long that my endurance was pretty weak. I tried to eat healthy, but because i was breastfeeding I always had a huge appetite. With breastfeeding and a little bit of exercise i lost about 40 lbs. But still nowhere close to what i used to be before. I plateaued.... So i decided that i was going to kick my butt back to shape. And go and a healthy eating plan. Don't really believe in diet pills or starving myself.. done it and its just not healthy. It also makes me a very grumpy person. anyways i found this website called sparkpeople.com Its the best website ever! This site really helps you keep track of calories and eat the right amount of carbs, fats, and proteins. I have learned so much already. I even have Barry doing it with me... kinda ;) I've been using it for 3 months and with some hard core work-outs I've lost 30 lbs. Yeah its not a pound a day or anything. With how hard I'm trying i really would love to see better results, but I'm doing it the right way and it takes time. I now work out almost everyday, and at least run 5-10 miles a day. mostly only 5 miles I've only ran 10 twice. I'm still going strong and I'll keep you updated on my progress! :)

Yay for bike rides!!!!!



I Cant even remember the last time i rode a bike. And for some reason when i was pregnant with Keira It was one of the top things i wanted to do, but i was to scared of losing balance and landing on my huge belly. So now that I'm FINALLY no longer pregnant its time to ride baby! ;) Now there were 2 problems...1. dont have a bike. 2. Even if i did have a bike i cant quite give Keira a haul on the back yet. So Barry and I decided to buy a Trailer for Keira to be pulled behind the bikes.. That we bought off of KSL. And so we took Keira on her first bike ride! it was kinda rainy but nothing was going to stop us...



Haven't even left yet and shes already out.


All Bundled up for her first bike ride with mommy and daddy! :)


Kinda Blurry picture but i take what i get.. not very often Barry lets me take pictures of him.

BYU Basketball Game!!!



We Finally took Keira to her first BYU basketball game! She wore her cute little BYU onesie that my mom had got her. Before the game we took Adam (Barrys brother) to J Dawgs for their famous polish hot dogs!!! If you haven't been you really really need to go! so good... Adam LOVED it! We even had to go back before he left for another one. :) After J Dawgs we went to the game, and had lots of fun! I can't quite remember if we won or not though.. ugh well.



To busy watching the game to even look at the camera



Barry and his Brother Adam... They both wouldn't look at the camera so this is the best i got out of 3 pictures!
