let's rewind

Such a long time that I have last posted to my blog and I'm totally unhappy with myself for it.  However, no time like the present.  So much to catch up on.

This past weekend, we hosted a baby shower for Cheryl and baby to be.  After a huge downpour, the rain held off and we were able to sit outdoors for the games and enjoy some warm weather.  Johnathon brought out the jumping castle and minus Shane's minor injury, the kids enjoyed themselves.  Thanks to all that came out...I know it meant alot to Cheryl and  your generous gifts were awesome!  If anyone is hungry, come on over because we have a fridge full of leftovers.  If you weren't napping after the food, you probaly wanted to.  Delish!

I guess the last time I wrote was before our vacation in Florida for Syd's Spring Break.  Another great trip.  The boys were wonderful travelling, even with the layovers and late/early flights.  The place we booked was ideal....right on Tampa Bay.  Sydney spent most of the week with us and then flew home in time to spend Greek Easter with her Mom's family.  There really is nothing better than having all three of our children together.  The boys just adore Syd and I know she adores them back. 

Nicholas celebrated his birthday while in Florida so for his day, we chose to take the kids to Busch Gardens.  I looked it up online and one of the features that I liked was if it is your birthday, you get a free jeep safari pass.  Perfect.  Not too shabby....a 40 dollar excursion.  So, Nicholas and I went together and it was so awesome....up close and personal with the giraffes.  This girl was so sweet and after we fed her and petted her, she gave Nicholas a big slurp right on the nose!  We toured around right in with the animals and it really was quite an experience.

Hmmmmm....let's see.  What else is new??  This is what I hate....not posting regularly, getting frazzled and pressuring myself to sit and write....and then when I do, the thoughts just aren't coming out as I would like.  So, I am already apologizing for this rather boring post!  haha!

Johnathon is very busy working away with the Outages going on at Pickering.  The boys are doing very well.  I am still battling whatever this is that I have. 

As I write this, I keep fast forwarding in my mind to tomorrow evening when I have my first boot camp class!!  Yep, boot camp.  Yikes.  But, it is certainly way past due for me to shed some of these extra pounds and become fit.  I'm totally excited about it....but also extremely nervous!  The first couple classes (at least) are going to kick my ass!  Brittany, a friend of mine from work, and I are tackling this together.  However, I don't think it will be quite the ass-kicking for her 25 year youngness.  Quite the picture....25 year young works out little thing alongside 39 year young(!) hasn't worked out in a long time, not so little thing!  Let's not mention the smoking...no, shh!  Ha!  Good times!

So, tomorrow is day one of my more active and healthier lifestyle.  I kind of want to run out and grab that last Big Mac!!  No?  Hm. 

Maybe I should use my blog as a motivator.  If I promise to keep track of my progress on here, it will motivate me to do well. 

I know there is much more to write about....but I'm just going to be content for now that I even got this down.  My nephew will be over shortly to spend the afternoon, I'm still in comfies, my kids need lunch and my to-do list is just gross.  We plan to list the house later this month and with Johnathon working longer hours and every weekend, there just isn't much getting done.  I think I'm going to look into hiring someone that can do some of the work and hopefully get the house in shape to list!  If you know of someone that does good work, is affordable and trustworthy, please give me a shout or shoot me an email.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Clean eating is a good mag for good recipes, that are good for working out. Everyone is always sore after the first couple classes, no matter what age, in less your already in great shape. You don't need to lose any weight. just be fit, you'll feel that much better :) Happy getting your butt kicked!
