Fun Slide September

Last weekend was our towns yearly festival, Harvest Days 2010. Thursday we had decided to take Trent to the carnival. This is the first year that he is big enough to actually be able to ride some of the kiddie rides. He was so excited all week and talked about how he couldn't wait to ride "all the cool rides!" Especially the cars on the merry-go-round, the blue car to be exact.

We had to pre-purchase a ticket for his wristband at the bank so that we didn't have to stand in the ridiculously long line. We dropped our guess as to how much was in the piggy bank and headed out the door. Thursday night when we arrived the first ride of choice was of course the cars. However, once we got to the line with the cars he insisted that we watch first. BIG mistake! He would NOT get on the cars. I told him about the little girl from his daycare was in line and she was not nearly as big as him. I was not successful at getting them on the cars.

Next ride of choice, and maybe I should mention that it was the ONLY ride of choice, was the fun slide. He absolutely loved the fun slide.


Tiger got a lot of exercise going up and down those stairs. I did go up there once! It is hard for me to carry our big boy up that narrow stairway.

Next year we hope to graduate to the cars! Overall it was a great weekend and really enjoyed it.

Vacation

I started my vacation today! I know it has been a while since my last post. I don't know if I have been avoiding having to admit my weight gain last week or what. I said it, weight gain, as in 3 not a small gain but 3 lbs. Aweful! I can honestly say that I did not track at all last week. I started out better this week but still feel as if I'm not putting forth my best effort. I don't know why I insist on snacking and munching on everything in site!

I did have a great run on Sunday. I found that I run much better in the morning that later in the evening. I assume that it's because I have more energy in the morning. Glad that the 5K is Saturday morning. I just hope that our softball team doesn't get the 9:00 AM game so I'm not running a 5K and then straight to the softball game. I will be late if it is at 9:00 AM because the 5K starts at 8:30 AM and it takes me at least 33 minutes to run it. (I say 33 because that was my time at my last 5K)

I'll try and keep with it and post my wordless Wednesday along with my Weekly Weigh In.

Junk Gone & Labor Done

What a weekend! I started my weekend setting up all my junk for our yard sale that we did at my friend Crissy's house. I say junk because that was all I really had and I just wanted it to be gone. While I didn't get rid of that gigantic train table; I did manage to get rid of our old dining room table and chairs. Crissy did really well getting rid of all her stuff except for the clothes and shoes.

I put the leftovers curbside and within an hour all was gone but some toys, an OLD OLD TV, and some books.

I did go and look at some garage sales myself. I am in need of some 3T and 4T winter clothes for my "little guy". I found a few things and picked up a few books. He loves for us to read to him!

Yesterday I spent ALL day doing laundry. We cooked out on the grill with my sister and had a few drinks. Today I got a run in, I'm still wondering how well I'm going to do at the 5K in a few weeks since I have started to slack off. I finally finished the dishes and got some play time in with the "little guy" and got some fall decorations up. Even though it was labor day and I wished I was sitting around doing nothing I am very happy with what I have accomplished this weekend.

Weekly Weigh In

Sorry for the quick post, it's getting late and I have a garage sale to run the next few days.

Weight Loss: 0

I stayed the same! I should be thankful for that since I have indulged a little last weekend. We checked out the new local bar and we had a birthday party. I can't pass up the cake!

Last week's challenge was to track for 3 days. I DID! So, I guess this is the part where I take on the challenge again but add a day? I'm going to give it a try. We'll see how it goes!
