Easter Weekend

Happy Easter Everyone. Hope everyone had a blessed Easter day. My family always has Easter out at my aunt's house in Spicewood. The first picture is a view from her house, it's gorgeous. My mom took this picture at sunrise on Easter morning. We spent the night on Saturday and woke up to go to church. Although Ashlyn and I were both sick, her coughing started along with mine but we still managed to get up and get ready and I'm glad we did. At church I was so happy to see Daniel Jung and his family. Daniel and I went to school together from Kinder-6th grade. His mom and my aunt are now really good friends. I met his wife who was so sweet and it was so great to see him and his family after so many years.

We ended up coming back home Sun evening instead of spending another night at my aunt's. Ashlyn spiked a fever and was miserable so I brought her home. We are doing better, but still both have ugly coughs and sore throats.

Today my sister, Lisa, came into town to hang out with us. It's always fun to see her and Ashlyn loved seeing her "aunt Isa"

Yucky

Well today Ashlyn woke up with a red puffy eye and junk all in it. So I took her real fast to the CVS Clinic, FYI some have Minute-Clinics, no appt necessary! They said she had conjunctivitis and a virus. Her nose is all junky and she must have wiped her nose then her eye so now her eye is irritated. So we got stuck at home today. So sorry, Lori! Everytime Lori and I try to get together, something always comes up. I have been dying to see her and her baby girl. I know I'm running out of rainchecks but one more time please? :)
Guess there is a lot of stuff going around so make sure to wash wash wash your hands and little ones too. I just hope she's better by Easter!

Beautiful Day

It is such a pretty day outside today. So I took Ashlyn and my niece Jacklyn to Zilker park. I was surprised how busy it was on a weekday and so many school field trips, but we still had fun. We rode the train and then we went and had lunch at Sandy's! I'm so happy that place is still around. I grew up going to Sandy's and now Ashlyn can too! I didnt take any pictures, but just wanted to share my day. We had a good girls day out. Now it's nap time :)

Fun Filled Weekend

We had a busy weekend. I helped host my best friend's baby shower on Saturday, Debralea, and it was so much fun and turned out great. She got a lot of good gifts and the nursery is all ready to go, now we are just waiting on baby Braden to make his entrance (May 20)

Also this weekend was my Dad's 66th birthday! Happy Birthday Dad!

Even on HIS day, he's grilling...doing what he does best

Ashlyn...ready to dig in

Results already

I have lost 4lbs and 1% body fat in one week!! Just had to share and hope to encourage others!
Something she said today "Abs are made in the kitchen not the gym!" Whoa, that's my big problem area is my mid section, so guess i need to lose all the fat around it, which is what I eat, not how I work out! Good to know! but this just gave me more motivation to keep on with eating better and working out! I have about 3 months to go!!

Market Days in Marble Falls

I went with my mom and aunt to the Market Days in Marble Falls. Loved it! Didnt buy anything but I didnt know what cute stores Marble Falls had! We had a great girls day. Here are some pictures from the day.

Burn baby burn

Hey...sorry I havent posted in awhile, so not like me but nothing really new has been going on.

Today I met with my trainer, oh man I'm so out of shape and just with the 25min that we had I'm already feeling it! I thought I'd share some of the things she had me do so for those of you working out at the gym or home you can do some of these too:

She worked alot on my core body strength, those seems to hurt the worse.

While doing this you clinch your buttocks and your stomach and lift up and let down but when letting down she placed her hand under my back and wanted me to try and squash it as hard as possible while is pretty hard to do but that shows how to use your core. This one was so hard. Staying in this position and holding it, doesnt look hard
but OMG it is, at the same time squeezing your buttocks and always making sure
your belly button is in and tightening your stomach.
This was using an 8lb weight and moving it from side to side,
really works your sides.
Another one we did using the ball was almost in this same position but with
toes in the air and raising the ball to the toes like a sit up.

For me, htis one was the hardest of all. Burpees!
I think i did 10-15 reps, felt like more but whoa! You have to jump down in the second position, then go to a pushup, then do that curled position again and then jump up and do it all over. Kicked my butt

We did my triceps, this one was good.

One set of lunges

On top of these there were some balance excersices with weights. So it was a good workout but man I'm feeling it and it's only been a few hours since I did it which means I'll be hurting in the morning! My goal is to lose 20lbs by June!! I'm watching my calories and logging in what i eat online so I can manage what I eat. So far it's going good. I'm very proud of myself, but I'll see where I am in June.

Other than that, Luis finally got his internet up and running. He has sent me a few pictures and we chat online usually everyday. I have to send him a webcam and once he gets that we can see him but he has been able to see and hear us. But he's doing good. We are just counting down until June when he'll be home for his leave (vacation).

That's about it on my end. Hope everyone else is doing good!
