Oops!

Wow! I skipped yesterday and I almost skipped today! What in the world is the deal?!? I do loooveeee the fact that people still checked to see if I updated! :) I love having my little "ticker" on the right hand side that tells me when people visit and where they visit from. Not gonna lie, it does make me really curious WHO is visiting. Especially whoever it is from LINCOLN, NEBRASKA & Alllllll the different places from IOWA! Just giving a shout out! ;)

Well, I would say we've been busy, but when I really think about it, I can't come up with much! Ha! Justin made me breakfast in bed TWICE this week! It was yummy & so sweet of him. I just love him so much. G and I have done a lot of playing and laughing. And I'm STILL down at 209! Haven't lost any more (YET!) but I am DEFINITELY not complaining. I've had several people ask me about my "diet". Well, to be honest, I'm not on one. I still eat everything I want to eat, but I just eat less of it. I also try not to eat too close to bedtime, but even sometimes that doesn't happen. But yeah! I still drink soda, not much but I didn't really drink a ton before anyway, and I still eat sweets, I still eat out etc. I just try to eat less of the bad stuff, if I am going to have it. It seems to be working for ME anyway. :) Then I just make sure to get in either walking, biking or running every day (except weekends usually). Griffyn is getting really used to being in her stroller and just checking out the world around her so we usually go on a walk every day during the day and then I do either biking or running in the evenings. We established a pretty great routine, if I do say so myself! :) Not gonna lie though, losing all this weight just gets me more and more anxious to get the rest of it off. It gets me more and more motivated to SEE results. (and great ones at that!) It's so awesome. I keep saying this, but now I really, really need to work on toning. Obviously the cardio hasn't been a problem so I need to work on that. I just haven't gotten there yet. :P I know it would sure help things even more!

Justin and I got our Vibrams today!!!! Soooooooooooooo excited to try them out running. I walked in them on our walk and around the house today and on our bike ride tonight. Trying to get them broke in before I take off running in them. They are getting there already though! They have SO much more tread on the bottom than my first pair ever did. A lot more arch support today. I don't notice the actual ground as much in them either. I'm excited! Justin loved his too! I can't wait for him to try running in them to see how they feel. He did say it'll take some getting used to them being between his toes, but he was excited!

Other than that, not really much to report on! Justin has drill this weekend so he will leave tomorrow night and be back on Sunday night. Then he has is working Mon-Thurs. next week to get on track with his new crew at work since he'll be starting his new position so that kinda sucks he'll be working so much, especially after being gone all weekend, but he's gotta do it! :) Hopefully we will find out something positive this weekend about AD. (Not holding my breath though....) He also has the possibility of being put in for a meritorious promotion, so pray that that happens for him as well!! :) He should find out when the ball is, too. We're hoping that several people will get to come with us this year. Tara had asked if she could come with us since her hubby is deployed and she can't go to theirs, so she'll be there for sure. Justin also asked his dad & step mom and grandpa, too so I'm not sure if they will go or not. Probably depends  a lot on which weekend it ends up being on. Anyone else who wants to join us is welcomed to! Just have to buy your ball ticket and we aren't sure how much those will be yet either.

Anyway, that's really about all there is to update on us! The fair starts TOMORROW!!!! I can't believe it's here already!! It feels like it was weeks or even months away not too long ago and here it is. I'm excited to go. We'll be going for sure next weekend when Justin is off, not sure when else G & I might go, but I'm sure we will at some point. :)

I hope you all have had a great week! It's Friday!! (in a few minutes!) Have a wonderful weekend and I'll try to make sure I stay updated. ;)
