So Much Change!!

I can't believe it has been almost 2 years since I wrote out a blog post. I really would like to be better about posting. I think it will help me and it will let me look back on these times and see where I have come from. I would also like to document this new time in my life of rededicating myself to fitness.

So from my last post, Geoff came home from Afganistan and we packed up and moved to Indiana. Two weeks after we moved to Indiana I found out I was pregnant again. I was completely thrown off guard. I thought we were done having kids after we had the twins. With everything that we had gone through to have the twins, I never thought there would be more children in our future. Brynn was a "homecoming" baby and I call her my miracle baby. But I was blessed with a second miracle baby. Lila came into this world December 17th and is my Christmas present every single year. She completes our family.

The twins started Kindgergarten this year. I separated them, so they are each in their own classrooms. They are thriving. Both are reading and writing above their levels. I am so proud of them. Blake is currently in hockey and he loves it and Abby is in gymnastics. Brynn is in preschool 2 days a week and is beyond bright, she is keeping up with the twins. Brynn is also my little fish and in swimming lessons. She may be on the swim team before we know it. Lila is growing up so fast, she will be one next week. It is sad to see my last baby grow leaps and bounds everyday. I am trying to cherish and remember this time the best I can.

I am slowly getting back into my pre pregnancy shape. I am running again and taking classes at the Y. I am hoping to complete another half marathon this spring. Another goal I have is to get back my Aerobic certification and start teaching again. This is a great motivator to keep me in shape. It will be a little more difficult with 2 little ones home with me during the day but I will take my time and get it done.

Right after Thanksgiving I started the Advocare 10 day challenge. Well, I lost 1 pound but I gained SO much energy. I decided to continue on and do the 24 day challenge, this is where most of the weight is lost, so they say. I am excited to give it a try. I really like the changes that have happened so far. I feel great and I am eating really healthily. I have really come to love the Advocare products and I am now a distributor. If you would like to try some products, let me know and I would LOVE to help you obtain your weight and fitness goals along with mine.  I will keep you updated on my progress.

I included a couple of updated pictures. One from the Marine Corps ball this year and a recent one of the whole family. I hope you have a Happy Holiday season!!
