Some exciting news....

I started a new job recently working at an elementary school in the office. I am absolutely LOVING working with kids, parents, just being in a school environment is such a good fit for my personality. The teachers and staff I work with are really nice and have made me feel so welcome. I do miss some of my coworkers from my previous job but I am much happier in the position I'm in now. Today was the last day of school before Halloween. It is so much fun getting into the festivities! I'd better watch all the sweets though, everyone kept leaving cupcakes, candy, cookies, cards, etc. on my desk ! We even have free breakfast / lunches every Friday. (Every friday a different grade level of teachers and office staff bring in food for the entire staff - so cool!)

Some other exciting news......


Christian has been competing more frequently now in skateboarding and is doing very well. We had a competition last weekend. We had a lot of fun watching all the kids skate.








Christian was so excited to get his very first skateboarding trophy and surprised to find out he not only took 2nd place in his competition but he also won best trick!! It was an exciting day for us! =0)

Still going strong!

I haven't missed a day yet of exercise. Since 8/17/09 I have gone walking every single day. I've lost 11 pounds so far (possibly more, I didn't start weighing myself until my bday on 8/27/09). I am now counting calories as well as exercising. Every week or two I try to add a little more into my challenge and so far it is paying off! I'm so excited to see the changes in me! =0)I weigh myself every Thursday and it's almost time to do my monthly measurements cause I am certain I have lots a LOT of inches. People have already started to notice a difference which is very motivating! I'm glad I started this when the weather was still nice so I had enough time to get this to become a habit. It's been 1.5 months since I started and I'm still going strong! GO ME!
