Slacking again

Sorry about that guys. I always seem to go for a couple of weeks in between posts. Blame Lexi. She got me on this Lutheran singles site. I'm just having way too much fun talking to all these new people. It's nice to have intelligent conversations again after working where I work and coming home to 3 small children. I've also met a couple of very interesting men. Kind of interested in one but trying to remember that its online so I need to be careful. But he's actually studying to be a pastor. Kind of cool. And then there's David. ;) Lex and I met him through our crazy adventures on Match (short-lived adventures for me). We've had a lot of very interesting conversations. It's weird. I always thought these people who went out meeting people online were strange (and maybe even a little desperate). But I don't even really care if I come out of this with a romance. I'm just having so much fun making new friends that actually believe the same things as me and have morals. :) I missed that. Got too used to it in school, I guess.
I've also been trying to exercise more. I'm pretty proud of myself too. Lost about 13 pounds in one month. Not like I needed to lose a lot of weight, but I didn't need to still be carrying around all that baby weight. I pretty much just needed to do some major toning. I'm fitting into clothes I haven't worn in a long time. (I even felt brave enough to go lay out in the backyard in a bikini yesterday)
So those are my excuses. Trying to spend more time doing productive things and spending my time online on a site my sister got me on. Well, enough with excuses. There really isn't a whole lot new here. Nate finished his first year of preschool. Looking at his final report card it's neat to see the progress he's made this year. To see all the skills he learned. I think he's very excited to go back again next year. So now our summer project is to get Nick preschool-ready (in other words potty-train him). He knows how, its just a matter of going all the time when he needs to. It's not going to be easy either with two 2-week visits to WI. I guess it will be our first real test of how well we can work together as parents while not being together. I don't have a lot of faith in Brian, but we'll see.
Can't really think of much else. For anyone I had told about the play it's getting postponed until fall. :( Lack of people (male and female) to participate. We'll see how it goes come fall. It should leave the summer more open though. And that's about it. I'll try to get some new pics up soon but I'll have to download my camera's software onto this computer (we had major computer malfunctions a couple weeks ago so we're on a new computer without all the software we had before. And I no longer have access to a lot of my old pictures. :( very not cool. I could however add that on as one more excuse.) So keep an eye out for new pics.

How'd you lose all that weight? I've been trying since I got on this medication (it has done a number on my body shape) I've gained at least 10 pounds since I started on it about 3 or 4 months ago. Anyway just thought I would ask what your strategy was. Love you!

Pilates and walking. Pilates is awesome cause I can lay down a couple of extra mats and my kids will play around me occasionally laying down on one of the mats and trying to do it with me. I've finally gotten my mom to start doing them with me too. The walking is about 2 1/2 miles each time we go (which is almost every day. I'm getting better about going even when I don't really want to) pushing strollers up and down hills. :) Plus I've been trying to watch what I eat. Not so much snacking and not taking such huge portions. ;) Course I haven't been around chicken and noodles yet to REALLY test my self control. It's probably going to be harder for you because of the medication. Anti-depressants do quite a number on weight gain. Basically my motivation was summer. None of my shorts from last summer fit and I didn't want to have to go buy new clothes. :) Nothing like not being able to button a pair of shorts to get you motivated. You should try Pilates. I love them. They work the areas kids stretched out the most. Get Zora to go walking with you. Hope this helps. I love you, too!!

I know it doesn't work. But I had to try. ;)

I've always wanted to try Pilates. I definately need to do something! Baby number 3 has left things in pretty bad shape... :) Good for you to have the motivation! That's the hardest part, I think.

Hey now! Remember that I met your Uncle Paul online! I don't think i'm strange. Maybe I am and just don't know it!

Wow!! 13 pounds is a lot! Good for you! I never seem to get motivated enough to start working out. I actually went running (if you can call what I do running) the other day and it nearly killed me. So now it will probably be about 6 months before I do anything work-out related again... :-) Love you!!
