Saying Goodbye, a Fitness Plan and a Run!

Today, Aria and I said goodbye to a former co-work, Rita North. She taught choir at the middle school for many years before my friend, Courtney took over for her about 3 years ago. Rita was a wonderful Christian who inspired many people, not just students.

"Well done, my good and faithful servant," said Jesus.

Aria was pretty good during the funeral. After about an hour, though she was bored and ready to go.



On a Happier Note:

I follow the blog of a friend (Racheal) of a friend (Kim) called Running with Racheal. I love reading this blog because we have so many things in common:
*running
*beautiful baby girls
*Weight Watcher love
*blogging
*our friend, Kim. :)

Something new on Racheal's blog is her weekly Food and Fitness Plan. Each week she posts her plan and encourages others to do the same. After a couple weeks of thinking to myself, "Yeah, I need to do that," I decided today is the day!

So here it goes...


Food:

Sunday: chili

Monday: turkey burger on salad

Tuesday: taco casserole

Wednesday: slow-cooker salsa chicken

Thursday: tuna on salad

Friday: out to eat

Saturday: home-made thin crust pizza

Fitness: 

Sunday: 2.5 mile jog

Monday: 3 mile jog

Tuesday: 2 mile jog

Wednesday: off

Thursday: 3 mile jog

Friday: off

Saturday: long run: 4 miles (long run to me anyway!)

Tonight's run was amazing!


The last mile was in the dark- oopsie. I had the light of my cellphone reflecting out at least, but I promise to try not to do that anymore.


Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the part

5 Month Camera Roll

Happy 5 months to my baby girl! Here's the pictures from our photo shoot today. I just thought this look was funny! Like she's saying, "I've got my eye on your Grandma and Grandpa..." She's happy now, but last night she was up for 3 hours. I could feel two teeth poking through: one on the top gums and one on the bottom. It was a long night. The good news tonight is the heat in the weather finally broke. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside for a little while. Look how funny Aria thinks Gus is when he fetches the ball. The video didn't catch her adorable laughing, but it's still pretty cute. In running news, I jogged 2 miles this evening- no stopping! Jogging has been a real struggle because all the extra weight I'm carrying feels more like 500 pounds instead of 27, but tonight was a success. That's 3 jogs this week!  Here's to keeping it

And We're Crawling

Aria has been filling my days up this week. The 6-9 month wardrobe is in the process of being boxed up. We're on to 9-12 month clothes, and stealing Daddy's hats. Last night, my niece, Jillian celebrated her 11th birthday with us at Olive Garden.                                             Aria always likes a party, but how excited she gets when she sees my mom is the true entertainment.  I'm thankful I got to spend the evening with my niece and the rest of my family. After that great night, Aria was up at 4:30 AM. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she has four teeth coming in. Ouch. Since we were up at 4:30, I decided to have a fashion show of the clothes we bought Aria last night. Her 9 month professional photo shoot is Saturday. That calls for a new outfit. Although I purchased 9-12 month sizes, this outfit is just too tight. The 12-18 month shirt fits just right. Back to the
