Three months down three weeks to go!

so i have been doing a biggest loser competition these last three months jan 1st to april 6th. we did it on percentages so it would be fair to the people who didn't have very much weight to lose. we had a first second and third place winner. the 1st place got 350 2nd 220 and 3rd got 130 we each put in 50 bucks. boy i can i first say im so glad its over!! i started out at 145.5 and ended at 126.2 sweet huh i lost 19.2 pds and lots of inches. i can now proudly say I CAN WEAR MY CLOTHES I WAS WEARING WHEN I DATED JUSTIN!! i kept a lot of them so glad i did now too they fit a little differently now from my body changing from having two kids which i gained 65 pds each pregancie. i got 3RD PLACE!!! at least i won my money back it was pretty close too their were six of us who were all neck and neck working are pretty tails off to the end i got 3rd by the hair of my chinny chin chin. i need to take a picture and post it maybe this saturday justin can take one of me before we go out to eat! ha ha

Now for the three weeks. In 3 weeks i will be running my first half marathon!! so crazy! i never thought in a million years i would have the endurance to run a half marathon but last week i ran 9 miles and this week i will run 10 on saturday so crazy i ran for 1 and 30 minutes last week so crazy who runs that long? anyway i have really enjoyed running and reaching new goals. after starting running i feel like im part of club now the runners club i have made so many friends that do all these crazy competitions they help to keep going. im thinking of doing a sprint triathlon next that sounded less scary than a full triathlon. and their are some biking races that sound fun too! ive found this new found world of racing and im addicted it makes working out so much more fun.

update

Im so not good with updating my blog. sorry
So Eli is now 5 months old well Monday he will be. He is so big it's so crazy to me that he is already so big. He just had his 4 month check last week and his stats are
85% weight 17.5 pds
85% height 26.5 inches
62% for his head

he is big all the way around he's my big chunk. its so funny to me jace was skinny skinny skinny and still is they are so different jace scared my away from having more children and eli makes me want more because now i know that Jace as a baby wasn't normal. Jace is so sweet with Eli i thought that he was going go backwards as many children do and be mean and jealous. but he is as sweet as can be and as been since day one it makes it so much easier. He brings me Eli's binkies and blankets and bottles mostly when i don't need them but he thinks he is helping and it almost makes me cry every time it happens cause i love it so much! Its funny sometimes jace will lay in the bouncer and put Eli blanket over him to be like his brother because i don't have the heart to stop him i now need a new bouncer for my next baby i don't care it was worth it to me! Jace will also take is hand like i do and do i love sweep over Eli head and hair it's soo cute i hope they grow up to enjoy each other like they do now. Eli laughs and laughs at jace he thinks he is soo funny i love watching him watching jace.

More news justin started a new job a sit down dress nice kind he started this week and loves it so far. its funny one of the first things he said when he came home the first night was this is so weird i don't have to go shower right away from being filthy i can just sit down and relax right away! i thought that was so funny true but funny I'm so happy for him this job right here was the whole reason justin went back school and got his 4yr degree so he could go get a different job. We have been blessed so much!

As for me I'm just trying to stay alive i decided to test my self to my core and run a half marathon on April 23rd with my sister and couple of friends. I'm really excited about training i have never run farther than probably 4 and half miles so I'm way nervous but I'm excited about reaching my goal it lets me focus on something for me my own little escape from being mommy 24/7. and in the mean time getting me back in shape! it's funny i was running with my friend and we looked at each other we had been running for 30 minutes so far and about to stop and she said do you know when we run the half marathon we will have been running for 2hrs straight if we run at this pace. i started to laugh because that sounds soo crazy to me i couldn't fathom my self running for two hrs it seems impossible yet i know that whats will happen if i keep training.so crazy well this are update for now hopefully i will be better over this next month! :)
