So Sorry! I had every intention to keeping this blog up to date and here it is two months without an update. I would love to blame our crazy busy summer, but it was really just my laziness. I can't believe it is already September though. The kids started school work about a month ago. It has been a bit hectic trying to get a good schedule again, but hopefully it will start to smooth out soon. Levi is doing great in Kindergarten and well on his way to reading. Sammy is way more independent this year then in previous year. It is a nice and welcome change. Kayleigh is coming into a very tough year. Fourth grade is where they start to expect way more out of you and she just hasn't gotten the hang of all the work yet. She will get there though!
We didn't get to do much over the summer, between the heat and tim working like crazy (not bad) we just hung around here. The older two traveled a bit: Disney world with my parents (for Aunt Kristins wedding), and plane trip to Michigan for a week with my mom. Sammy also went to the Steelers training camp with some good friends of ours and had the best time ever. But Tim Levi and I are due for a vacation hehe. The picture above is Kayleigh and Levi at the dirt track races near the house, we had a fun time!
I've been kind of slack on my running this summer, which sucks. But when I can only get up so early to go and at 7am it was mid 80's with 90% humidity I couldn't make myself get out there, I just don't have that desire. LOL But I'm back at it now, not at the 6-8 miles I was before july, but getting there. I won't be ready for the 10k in October but hopefully soon! I've been pretty stagnant on the actual weight loss since about march too. I continue to hover around the 90 pound gone mark, I'd like to get another 10 or so off but at least I haven't gained anything either. In January it will be two years since I started loosing and honestly this is the longest that I have stuck with anything. I guess that even after a bad day or a bad week, at the end of the day, this is turning out to be a lifestyle change. I feel so much better and just have to stop beating myself up over the little things.
And last but not least, we adopted a big ole lummox dog about 3 weeks ago. I was dead set against getting a dog, just wasn't on my list of things to do. But we went to an event for rescued dogs and Reggie just pulled us in. Seriously it's like he was made more us, plays hard and rests even harder LOL And the kiddos love him to death so that's all that matters. The pic below is Reg in his favorite position... Enjoy :)
