Every one used to tell me that once I had a baby I will feel differently about Annie. No one has told me that in a while, I think that's because everyone is starting to realize how attached I am to her. I honestly can't imagine loving her any less. But we'll see how everything goes. I have actually been wondering if there is any way that they'll let her come to the hospital to come see me and the baby. lol, I don't think that's gonna happen.
Ok, so i just reread this post and I can only imagine what people are gonna think when they read this. The post was interned to tell everyone that I'm pregnant and completely turned out to be about Annie! haha. Yes I know, I'm a dork.
We went to all the parks and one water park.
Clint got sick one day, good thing that was a designated pool day! This is him laying by the pool. He would rather have been laying in the hotel room, but we were switching hotel days and we were in between checking out of the old one and checking in to the new one.
Me and Annie like to hike the Y every once in a while. Well actually I like to hike the Y and Annie likes to go where ever I go. But I don't think she likes hiking very much. The first time we hiked it i stopped for a second and she just laid on the dirt and decided she was done hiking. It was so cute, so I picked her up and carried her the rest of the way up. And then after that I would just pick her up once I thought she was tired. Well, she's now learned that she has the option of me carrying her so this last time not to long after we started up the hill she turned around for me to carry her. What a spoiled little dog. I carried her most of the way up, and even most of the way down. But its ok she only weighs 5lbs. And I love her. And I don't think I will ever be able to spoil my children the way I spoil her.
Sometimes I imagine myself running and pushing my baby in a jogger. And I know Annie can't keep up when I go on runs, so she is also in the jogger next to my child.
I took this picture when I was doing some ab workouts, after Annie realized I wasn't on the ground to play with her she just sat there and stared at me. Shes so cute!
This is us after the race
About a couple weeks into the training my right leg started to hurt. I thought if I just ran through the pain it would go away. That's how it used to happen anyway. A couple weeks before the race I ran 10 miles after that it really started hurting. So I went in to get it looked at just to make sure I was still ok to run. They did a bone scan and the dr said it was almost a stress fracture and that I probably should do the 1/2 marathon but I could if I really wanted to. I had already paid for it so I decided to run it. He just told me not to run until then and not to run 8 weeks after. So I pretty much trained 6 weeks had a 2 week break and then ran a 1/2 marathon. I would not recommend this. Also I wouldn't recommend doing something like this if your trying to lose weight. Wait until you get to your goal and then do it. the days that I did my long runs I gained weight. After burning over a thousand calories in my work outs it was really hard not to eat everything in sight. I wear a heart rate monitor that tells me how many calories I burn and during the actual 1/2 marathon I burned 2000 calories. I think I gained a couple lbs that week end.
And here is the before. I debated on if I should put this picture up, I'm so disappointed that I ever let myself get this bad. But it is what it is.
And this is me now. I still have about 25 more lbs to go! and when I get there I'll be sure to post more pictures!
I decided that I really want to lose the rest of my weight before June. So my goal is to lose 5 lbs a week. I don't know how realistic this is but if the people on biggest loser can do it then so can I, right? So I plan on working out for 20 minutes after work (I already work out about 1-2 hrs in the morning) Not cheating at all until June. Yesterday I did have an Oreo and felt pretty guilty about it. And then at work every hour I'll do 10 push ups and 30 second plank. Every time i try to do this I only make it until about 1:00 or 2:00. anyway its going to rough 5 weeks, wish me luck!
Well, my new years goal of updating my blog at least once a week isn't really working out for me. But I'll keep trying.
Anyway, below is a video of Annie marking her territory. Every time there is another dog around she has to mark her territory where they pee, and she always does it while walking on her two front legs. Its the funniest thing!
The other dog in the Video is Clint's family's dog, they have had her since Clint was 11. We had Biscuit for about a month this winter. She's really old and probably won't be a round for much longer, so it was really good to have her come visit! Even though Annie got a little bit jealous when Biscuit would get more attention than her I think she liked having a Friend around while we were at work.
