Thank you Shorty for sending this...I just had to share!
(And no..these are not the boys)

Because We Love Smores

And who doesn't love a good, messy smore?!

63 Pounds Gone!

Alright..some of you already are aware, but Tony & I have been working on losing weight since October. We set goals for ourselves and we have actually kept them! We have had a few of you ask what we have been doing so here is a brief description.

1. Count our calories to stay with in a specific range.
2. Exercise on a regular basis (minimum of 5 times a week)
3. Keep track of our calories eaten and calories burned on a free site called SparkPeople.

Here are Tony's before & after pictures along with some of his stats.

October 20th, 2008
Starting weight - 205
Waist Size - 39"
Neck - 16.5"



March 17th, 2009
Current Weight- 169
Waist- 33"
Neck- 15"

Total weight loss..36 lbs!

Ok..and now for me. I have not reached my goal yet. I have roughly 7 pounds to go but here is an update anyway.



October 20th, 2008
Starting weight- 159
Waist size- 40"
Hips- 41"



March 17th, 2009
Current weight - 132
Waist- 33"
Hips - 34"

Total weight loss- 27 lbs!

We are so excited! Anyways..we felt we deserved to brag a bit as this has been a long time coming for us. We have tried many times to lose weight and this is the first time that it actually stuck with us and worked!

(I'm proud of you baby..you look awesome)

Fries Anyone?

The boys really enjoy sweet potato fries, which is shocking. We were at the store today and the boys asked if they could pick out their own potato. I told them sure and gave them a bag while I picked out some peppers. I should have looked at the bag but didn't think much of it. When I got home and opened it this is what I had bought. It is HUGE! 3.5 pounds huge to be exact! I think I better pick the potato next time.

Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend full of great weather & fun with the boys. We figured we would share a few pictures with you. We decided to take the boys out to fly kites. We finally got the kites up this afternoon..the wind was not cooperating yesterday!

Hope you all had a great weekend :)

Habits

Alright..we finally broke down and bought a Wii a few weeks ago. It has been so much fun watching the boys play their favorite games. However, I have noticed a trend with both of them. They each have their own special habit they have while playing. I took video as I could not stop laughing once I noticed the following trends..

This is Taylor playing Mario Kart..we asked him why he does this and he says it is because he drools too much while playing. We had to remind him to swallow.

This is Isaac bowling..for some reason he always grabs his head hoping by tilting it in certain directions that the ball will follow.

I'm just glad the boys can't video tape me yet! If they could, you would see me biting my tounge or sticking it out while playing video games :)
