Progress........

       We are all just a work in progress. Changing daily, whether we plan to or not. Now is the time to examine your progress. Are you headed in the direction of health and happiness? I know I wasn't. I had gained another 22pds. Blowing up to 220pds. The highest I have ever been. That was a total gain of 70pds in 11 years. I was angry and sad most of the time. One day after seeing some awful photos, hearing about weight watchers from a million different sources, and Just being tired of being tired I signed up.
       I joined weight watchers, and started going to gym 4 days a week. It is amazing how much better I feel with losing just my first 10pds. I have more energy, Rowan says I am "nice mommy" more often now, and my clothes are fitting better.
       I can't wait to feel the energy I will have when I have lost 20, 30 ,40pds. I am looking forward to a future full of healthy eating and healthy living.

So lets encourage each other to live Happy, Healthy, Productive lives. We will all be better for it!

  
I feel somewhat vulnerable posting these, but I feel I need to keep a visual track of my progress. I have gained so much support and encouragement from you, my friends, I trust you will continue to do the same. So every 10pds I lose I will update with a new photo :)

 

Loving Cousins

Rowan and Athena love their cousins Faolan and Riley. Any time we can play together, It's the best day of the week for them :)

Easter at grandma Ganschow's

We had Easter brunch at my in laws after church. The kids LOVE Easter egg hunting, I think they had three separate hunts this year :)I love my in laws garden. Ya spring :) my garden is about a month behind but my irises should bloom this week. they are very close.

Rowan loves his lilac colored suit. He says he likes to dress fancy :)

Athena and her favorite person Uncle Ross :)

The Bridge Church Easter Egg Dash 2011

My sister Bonnie had a wonderful time dressed up as the Easter Bunny :) Nothing better to her than hugging people for a few hours!




What a wonderful group of volunteers! We had 13,000 eggs and tons of candy. Even with the rain we probably had 1,500 to 2,000 people attend. Thank you everyone for all your hard work! I can't wait to start prepping for next year :)

our friends Daughter Autumn. Rowan loves her.

Here is our little Goddess!

Our perfect little family.

Rowan is being such a great big Brother. lots of hugs and kisses for Sissy.

Here I am World! 8pds, 8oz.

Ugh!

Well here I am with two weeks till my due date and I may have the flu! not fun. sick and uncomfortable! I started feeling bad Friday and today being Sunday I am starting to feel better. my fever is gone. I'm not as achy. I just hope It is all cleared up before my labor begins!

Wow!

Who would of thought at two years old Rowan would already be playing video games. The best part is Dave and I let him make all the choices we just move the mouse around.

He is really good at some of the games!

Mom and Dad told me the funniest thing, Rowan found a bag of Papa's Cheetos. He wanted some, but hadn't asked anyone to open it for him.

So next thing they know they see him trying to figure out how to get it open. After a few failed attempts he decided to sit on the bag! Well the Cheetos opened up with a bang and he couldn't have been prouder of himself.

Papa said it was pretty amazing watching his problem solving skills. We are going to have our hands full :)

Belly Button

Here I am at 37 weeks or 20 days till the due date and my belly button is trying to pop out! This is new for me. Not something that I came even close to with Rowan! Yes that is a navel ring scare above my belly button :)

So everything has become more difficult.

Laundry

Grocery shopping

exercise

stairs

rolling over in bed

picking anything up off the floor!

Forget shaving my legs :)

Luckily I have not gotten my sons cold. Last thing I need is to go into labor sick! I feel for him, he has had a fever and a bad cough. But they have cleared up thankfully.

I can't wait to meet my Daughter, and get my Body back!

Some of our favorite pictures

Fun at the park

I got the mustard top off

I found my Toes!!!

This grass feels weird!
