Mini Goal March 4, 2008

I want to reach my mini goal by Easter.  Last week I thought I only had 3 lbs to go to hit my new goal and I was wrong.  I had 6 lbs to go.  I’ve still got 6 lbs to go!  I didn’t lose any weight last week.  I did gain 2 lbs, but they are gone.  Last week DH worked one day and we lifted weights the other 4 days.  This week DH has off one day, my main focus this week will be cardio.  Yesterday I walked 65 min on the treadmill. 

When I did the National Body Challenge, one of the perks was an 8 week membership to PodFitness.  Most of that time, I didn’t have an MP3 player.  I did manage to get a bike workout and a treadmill workout.  I used the treadmill workout yesterday and I really like it.  The membership is pricey or I’d still be a member.  I like that they use my own songs.  I like that I was challenged(doesn’t take much).  I didn’t go as fast at one point, I’m just not a fast walker.(4.5 is a jog for me,I don’t know why I don’t walk fast, I don’t think I’m short..am I)  I did walk at 4.0, but when she said to go up to 4.2, I stayed at 4.0.  I was shocked that I walked at 4.0…..aren’t you?  I did all of the inclines.  I definitely got my heart rate up. 

I bought a new pair of jeans over the weekend.  They are a size smaller!  I had bought a pair of jeans back at the beginning of December but they are just too loose.  I hate pulling my pants up while I walk.  I’ve also got to go shopping for shorts.  I know we’ve got snow on the ground, but I also know that the weekend’s forecast is calling for 70’s by the weekend.  It will be shorts weather before we know it!

SNOW March 4, 2008

It snowed yesterday. In MARCH. For a while! Not just our usual handful of flakes, but real snow! We may have gotten around 3 INCHES! I’m not sure about that yet, I haven’t heard an official number. It sure was pretty! It sure was COLD! We were in the 70’s on Sunday!

Unfortunately, most of the snow fell after it got dark. #2 got to play a little in the snow while DH and I worked. #1 got out a little in it when he took the dog out to do his business(by the way, a 10 week old puppy doesn’t like to do his business in the cold or wet or snow!)

Before we went to bed, DH went outside to look around and took #3 with him. He was out there in his PJs playing in the snow. He even threw a snowball at DH! When he came inside he was barely able to talk, he was so excited!

We were surprised to see the snow staying on the ground and roads. We didn’t really think the ground was cold enough for the snow to stick. Thankfully the street and driveway were just wet when we woke up this morning. There is still snow on the grass and cars, but the roads are clear. I was afraid I was going it have to drive #2 to school in the JEEP! hahaha!

And I thought we had gone a whole winter with out any snow! At least we won’t have any snow days to make up! I love getting the snow days, I just hate making them up!
