Phew!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, it seems like life has just gone crazy these past few days!! I finished week 3 on Monday night and started week 4 today. I did take a few days off in between but I've been on my feet lots doing baking and stuff so by the time the evening came, I was too pooped! It was very hard tonight! I had to run 3, walk 90, run 5, walk 2 1/2 then repeat. By the second 3 minutes I was so tired but I pushed through and kept going. By the 3rd minute in the last 5 minutes I was almost about to give up but knew I could do it. And I'm glad I did! I'm really wanting to start running outside soon, but I want to get a bit better first. Maybe week 5.

I've been baking some Easter cookies and cake pops the last couple of days for this weekend and it was fun! Here's some pics!

I think I'm going to sign up with WW online. I've found it to be a bit difficult to track. I find myself popping anything into my mouth while making dinner or the kids lunch. I guess I could always sign up and if I don't use it, I could just cancel it.

Anyways, off to crash!

Eeks!

Wow, sorry I haven't updated since Monday! Bad! Anyways, not too much new here. I've had a few moments of weakness this week so I'm really hoping I can still see a good loss on Monday. I finished week 2 of the couch to 5k, and started week 3. I just finished day 2 and I must say it's harder than any of the weeks yet. The 2nd 3 minute run almost kills me! But it will get better.

I've been working on some parts of a cake that I am making for a friend. It's a John Deere themed cake and I've been making some farm animals out of modeling chocolate (just chocolate melted and some corn syrup added making a pliable dough). They look pretty cute! I'll post some pics once I'm done more.

Party time!

I finished Zachary's cake yesterday afternoon and I love it! I think it's the best cake I've done yet (I'm sorry if I sound conceited, but I find my skills getting better each time!) Here's some pictures! We're having a party for him tonight with all the family and friends.


I just finished day 2 of week 2 of C25K. I was planning on doing it last night but it was an off night. First we had supper, the my husband took Zachary down stairs while I got changed and then his pager went off (I'm not sure if any of you know or remember but my husband is a firefighter) so he had to go to a fire call. Then the kids were wound and wouldn't go to sleep so I couldn't go downstairs yet. My husband got back and I was gonna go down then, but then his pager went off again! So it didn't end up working out. But I think being on my feet so much yesterday counted for something :)
