Goal: Lose baby weight + 30 lbs
Achieved so far: Baby weight is gone!
Pre-pregnancy weight: 221.0
Weight last week: 207.0
Current weight: 204.4
Weight loss/gain since last week: -2.6
TOTAL WEIGHT LOST (not including baby weight): -16.6
WHEW! I was really worried I was going to have my first ever two-week-in-a-row weight gain! That makes me feel good, especially considering that I didn't run from Wednesday on.
Honestly, I didn't really do much from Wednesday on. I tried to do some different things to get my heart rate up on Thursday and nothing really seemed to make me sweat. It's hard to get your hard rate up when your not supposed to use your legs!
Yesterday all that changed though. I got the Total Gym 1000 from some good friends and I spent 45 minutes playing with it. I also did an upper body and core routine I created on Sparkpeople.com. Both felt good and I am happy to have something in the house I can use. My heart rate doesn't even come close to what it reaches when I run but I am building lean muscle and that counts for something apparently :)
On to the topic of the day...
Training time is finally here!
I am super, SUPER excited to announce that 3 readers have already registered for the race. That's a good start towards my vision for a "sea of blue"!
We're a puddle :oD

*Softball / Tball Update*
My update for softball is easy...
The game was cancelled because the fields were yucky :( *tear*
Ori still got to play though!!
Her and Elena did so good. They listened to the coach, hit the ball, chased the ball, had a ball. I am so proud of them.
Ori was the first up to bat for her team. The first time she went up she hit the ball and then kind of freaked out. I don't blame her though. The coach for the other team has a kind of different strategy - everyone goes for the ball. So she hit it and it landed a few feet in front of her, and the whole opposing team came charging at the ball.

Her next at bat was much more successful!
Here are some more pics from the game!
I cut Coach Troy's head off. She told me she thought he was handsome!
Had to get a pic of her tail :)
I call this the Second Inning Stretch :)
Sportsmanship is key! 
Teammates for life!
Jocie can't wait until it's her turn to play!
Challenge:
I got an email from Sparkpeople that said "Whittle away those love handles!" Of course, that got my attention.
Here is the exercise they were talking about...
Love Handle Exercise
Have a great day, and get your train on!

Loved Ori's t-ball update! So cute!!
I plan on running/walking tonight for the twenty minutes that the training program calls for. I'll let you know how it goes! I'm excited!
You're doing great- keep it up!
I love the t-ball pictures, that is so great! Baby J is getting so big!!!
Aww, michelle. I love your pictures of Ori and Elena. They are so awesome!! I can't wait to get our digital camera back, so I can start posting pics and video's on my blog *happiness*!! Okay, so if I just walk this week will that count?? I played DDR Saturday night and I way over did it and now my back is hurting pretty bad. Walking helps it a lot, I just can't run this week. But, next week, I should be able to start the running thing!! I am about to go and walk 2 miles, I am very excited!! I am so happy that you lost more weight!! That is totally exciting!! Have a great day and chelle and thank you so much for your blog!
Girl, I got in my 2 mile walk. Thank goodness for our Zune! I love that thing! I wouldn't be able to work out without music. So, I did two miles. Then I played as a sub in the V-ball tourney tonight. We almost made it, but we lost the game before the Final. Aaargh. Sandy had a hurt shoulder and hurt knee. I was wearing my TENS unit to keep my back from hurting a lot and Lavonda possibly has tendonitis in her hip. Sheesh! We were a bunch of cripples playing, but we played our hearts out! Anytime you are out for injury, it BITES big time! I feel your pain and I understand! Your day is coming darling, just hold on and keep dealing:)
I knew you would do it!!! Congrats!
