Above, I have added some pictures of where I am starting. I figure if I am going to be public about this whole adventure, I might as well have some before shots. I know, crazy!! The next set of pictures will be posted when month one of my biggest loser challenge with my sisters have wrapped up. We are competing for an iTunes card. I have a good feeling! :o)
After watching six seasons of The Biggest Loser something finally sunk in. I did not get up early to cross train because I stayed up way to late reading a book. The book was worth it, and I am not finished yet. Instead, I decided to go later in the day. My intention was for the boys to go to school while I got a massage and rested, but Conner woke up this morning in meltdown mode. Ack! I did not do my cross training, and I was totally tired to boot. I was thinking I was starting off this plan on the wrong foot. I told Conner he needed to go to school while mommy went to an appointment. I would then pick him and Brodie up after my appointment was over. It would be close to 1 o'clock by the time this were to happen.
After napping, massage, and picking up the boys I got the hair-brained idea to walk the boys to Borders by my house. It was closing, and I thought this would be a great adventure. I get tired of driving everywhere, so this was what was going to happen. I would get my cross training and outdoor time with the boys at one time. We set off at around 2:30-3pm. Conner had his binoculars he received from Grandma Ginger and Grandpa Glen (thanks guys). He was in search of jack rabbits and any other treasures he could find. He looked like Elmer Fudd from the Buggs Bunny cartoons ("I'm chasin' wabbits.") minus the gun of course. Anyway, he was adorable and on the hunt. Brodie longed to be out of his section of the stroller, so I let him chase after Conner. They were off. Brodie does not run, he gallups. It is quite hysterical and I wish I had my camera. At one point, Brodie reached over and grabbed Conner's hand. They were holding hands while searching for wabbits. As time was starting to escape, I got them corralled back into the double-wide. I pushed them to Borders and made promises I thought I could keep.
No one told me Borders was going to be completely crazy. My gut told me to turn around and walk right back out; however, Jeremy sent me with a list of books and I promised Conner and Brodie a book. The line was a million miles long. It wrapped around the store. We waited in that stupid thing for about an hour and fifteen minutes. It was insane. The guy who cut in front of me kept giving Brodie and Conner other toys to potentially buy. The guy thought he was helping, but I kept seeing dollar signs. When we finished, I called Jeremy and walked over to Raleys. I had promised the boys a snack for the last hour and fifteen minutes. They deserved it. They were awesome!
Little did I know it was going to go downhill from there. Jeremy picked us at the lake because he thought we got lost and it was totally dark. It also was cold. It was not cold when we left, so we did not have jackets or sweatshirts. Ack! Jeremy asked if we wanted to go to Mel's. Of course! The boys had been restrained long enough. We should have gone home. Oh well! Lesson learned.
I did get my cross training in for an hour. Yippee! Day one done!! Tomorrow is a nice easy three mile run. The plan is to get up and do it before the boys get up and leave. Conner asked to go to school, so we shall see if this happens.

P.S. I have also slowed down the Diet Soda consumption. For those of you who know me that is quite amazing. I bought a Diet Pepsi from Taco Bell, and I dumped about 3/4 out. I didn't want it. I ordered a Diet Pepsi at Mel's and I drank maybe half of it. Jeremy was in shock. Can I keep it up? I think so!!
