31 Will Be Great!

Thanks to some great friends my birthday was a lot of fun...dinner, bowling, Luv-its and don't forget a run in with the authorities what more can you ask for?!?!?! May husband came through and give me a new cell phone which I needed. My old one would overheat and turn off mid phone call. The kids with the cookie monster cake is something I will never forget either. 31 will be a wonderful year.

Now that the frosting and sugar is over it is time to focus. For those of you that don't know the past year and a half I have been focusing on my weight and getting healthy. I have lost over 60 pounds and feel great. The next challenge I have set for myself is participating in the SHAC triathlon in St. George Utah. The triathlon is a mini mini one for beginners so I will be doing a swim that is 8 lengths of the pool, 5 mile bike and 1.5 mile run. I am nervous but excited. It has been great for my kids to see me training. They ask to go bike riding and running with me (they get to go sometimes.) After SHAC who knows I will find something to help me keep the lbs off.

People have asked to see pictures so here are my before and after pictures (after as of right now there is still a lot more to come off). The first one was taken about 2 years ago and then one of me now.

WOW!!!!

It takes me back too, to see it side by side. It is amazing what getting off your butt and eatting right will do. I have to thank Renae (even though she does not know it) it was her who made me want to make the change. I wanted her to be proud of me when she told the kids that I was her mom at school. Where we live there are a lot of fit moms and dads and I realized I needed to be one of them. Not to fit in but to make sure I was around for Renae and Kyle. It is amazing what are kids will make us do.

I will keep you posted on SHAC it is not until April 18th.

31 will be great!!!!
