Bear Lake Triathlon Training!

JP and I have been wanting to lose weight and get back in shape for a couple of years now. Over the years, JP and I have tried lots of diets, programs, drinks, formulas, etc. Some have worked (temporarily), and some haven't. We have finally learned that all we need to do is eat healthy (better choices and proportions) and exercise. DUH!!

I always do better on my goals when I have a deadline or something to work towards. Several of my sisters run in half marathons, etc. SO, JP and I decided we would too. We are both currently training for the Bear Lake Classic in August 2010. AND, JP wants to also do the Top of Utah Marathon in September 2010. To hold each other accountable, we thought we would post our weekly trainings on our blog. That way we can see our progress and of course, you can hold us accountable too!!! We need all the support we can get. I can't believe we are doing this!

WEEK #1 Training for Amy
Monday- Swam half of the triathlon distance (375m)

WEEK #2 Training for Amy
Monday- Swam full length of triathlon distance in 30 minutes (750m)
Wednesday- Biked 2 miles

Week #3 Training for Amy

JP will start tracking his trainings this coming week. Obviously we have A LOT of work to do. But, I am excited we are doing it together.

Ice Skating, Haircut and Vinyl

We took the kids ice skating a couple of weeks ago when they had a Free Family Night. We definitely thought they would only last about 15 minutes, but they LOVED it and lasted for 2 hours. Who would have thought?? Maybe we have an ice skater or hockey player in our future.





Mackenzie decided it was time to get her hair cut again like Alice from Twilight. It was getting pretty long. I LOVE it like this! She even printed her own pictures from the internet of how she wanted it. After the hair stylist cut and styled it we had to go buy her her first flat iron. I have no idea how to do straight hair. HELP!!



I finally found some cute vinyl to put up on the girls walls to make their rooms complete. I love the big flowers in the twins room. So much better than anything I can do with paint. Not to mention faster. Mackenzie went with the black and white dots. The black ones are chalkboard and the white ones are dry erase board, so you can write notes on them....pretty cool huh??




Hope you all had a great Valentines Day!! JP and I actually went on a date and Mackenzie babysat. It has become our weekly routine lately. It's nice to be OLD!!!!
