Odd & Ends

Every time I have a good roll of blogging, something slows me down...just life in general this time...and a real nasty virus....of the computer variety. I was stuck sneaking in some quick computer time on my husband's laptop....and as Jill would say, it was a real groove buster!

But the PC is healthy, and I am back to reading blogs...and hopefully a little updating myself.

The little guy has been keeping me busy....We have been waiting for the right opportunity to make the move to the "big boy" bed. With no baby on its way, there was no rush, but I wanted to make sure it was the "right" time. He has been sleeping well lately, not fighting the nap so much...So this is what it looked like the other morning after he woke up (we had a few days of camera MIA....including the dismantling of the crib and first night in bed).


It is just crazy to walk past his room and see this bed there and not the crib. He really seems to like it...there have been no complaints. The first night went great. But this is what we found on the 2nd day of naptime in the bed.

It is hard to wake up in a good mood when you fall asleep like that.


I have been meaning to post about my Get Healthy Challenge. I was inspired by Rae to document my attempts at fitness, not so much weight loss...but who am I kidding, who wouldn't want to loose 5-10 lbs. I joined the gym about 6 weeks ago, and I am very proud of my routine. I can make it there at least 4 times a week...I have a good cardio workout on the tread mill, then a little weight training. My husband also joined, so we really encourage each other. He found a pod cast called "couch potato to 5K" in 2 months...helps a nonrunner become one. I just started week 3. Uses intervals of brisk walking to running to get you prepared. It is doable, yet still challenging for me. i am in a good groove right now....I hate to make a weight loss goal, for fear I do not meet it. So instead I just want to improve my cardio health (WALK UP STAIRS WITHOUT BEING WINDED) and fit into clothes that I fit into last summer...WHAT happened over the winter??? My 10 year anniversary beach trip in July and 15 year high school reunion in September are definitely apart of this plan. Cross your fingers!
