Turkey Trot and Biggest loser

So Saturday Mike, Tamara Cobb and I did the 5 k Turkey trot. Tamara and I finished in 40:30. Which isnt to bad . Next spring I want 33 minutes! It is a pride thing I think. I want to be able to do 11 minute miles. and then get faster. I wont be happy till I can do it in 33 minutes. So Emily Steiger and I are going to be running a 5 k 4 times a week then a 4-5 miler once a week. I really want to be a runner and beable to like running. Today I went alone and I was so bored! Even with a audible book and switching to music. Ugggg. Maybe I just nee to go find nature. When I used to run 10 YEARS ago I ran in nature behind the Carlsbad mall. There was a perfect trail through a canyon that was almost a mile and I would do it all week. Then I moved and running stopped. So now I am trying to get back into it. I have a 1/2 marathon and full Marathon on my bucket list, they must get checked off!
So the 5 K went okay I was really mad at my time but whatever what can I do!

I am apart of a biggest loser competition with some friends and I only lost 2 fricken pounds last week! even after the 5 k! WHAT THE HECK! I kicked butt all last week and 2 POUNDS REALLY! GRRRR I can gain that in 1 day back if I am not careful. SO this week I want 4-6 pounds! Now you may say " WAIT TO MUCH" umm people think about it I am 211 pounds 6 pounds is NOTHING! That's a small baby! hehehhe okay so I am kicking up my cardio all this week. I am so winning this week!
We have 6 months to lose what you can and the 1 who losses the most percentage of body weight wins! My goal is to loose about 76 pounds. That would put me at 135. Ohh to be 135 again! That would make me a size 10 again! Which means I would of gone from size 20 to 10. Hmmm so awesome! I am taking my measurements this Saturday to see where I am. COME ON BODY!

My Favorite saying are " Nothing tastes as good as skinny does"( Thanks to Dana L) and " Fat dont Hurt!) Emily Steiger! and best of all " DO you want to have fat kids and be a fat mom?"" HELL NO! " Biggest loser (Jillian M)

So here I go! I have a 5 K with my Church group Thurs. morning I better get under 39!

Adoption Update

So Yesterday we mailed all the clearances we needed to for state and government. So Then We went to get our vase clearance which just says that we have no tickets or domestic issues. After That we turned it into our Case worker Deanna and she said that it should be 2-4 weeks from now till we are on the Approved list! Which means we would be on the LISTS! Once we are on the Home study Approved lists we have 0-4 months till we have a baby!
We are so excited its getting closer! We are planning that it shouldn't happen before the new year. We are thinking January. The timing for Match is 0-2 months then after you are matched its 0-4 months. So it also could take up to 6 months. Say worse case is we get matched and she is only 6 mths pregnant, then we wait.
To pass the time I am doing a biggest loser challenge and its 6 mths long !SO every day I am working out about 2.5 hours and weigh in every Saturday night. My goal by 6 months is to weigh under 140! I am now 213( last Saturday weigh in) and so I have 72 pounds to go! I am so killing this one! Its hurts but I have started to look forward to working out. I get up every morning and work out from 9- 1130 and then eat lunch and do what I need to do around the house. It keeps me busy. I am hanging in there. Mike is being such a wonderful support and team player. i have 2 work out buddy's that keep me going on tired sore days! I want to be able to go running as a family and be the team mom and be healthy and fit. I am sick of being the obese mom to be. I hit 235 last spring and was so depressed I had let that happened. But as of Dec.1 I will be under 200! And by June under 140! Ohh I am so excited! The great thing is that I dont have to take time time off to heal after we get the baby! I can go run while Mike takes care of Konnor or Vivian. But I will not take baby out in public to like church and stuff till they are at least 3-4 weeks. The winter time carries to much sickies!

Well I have to go get fabric for the tree skirt I am making in quilting class, today 2 miles - 23 minutes!
