Garage Sale

We had our big garage sale today..good lord..by law we can't start until 0800, yeah tell that to the 10 people that were here at 0630 when I put up the garage doors..OMG it was out of control...the good news is we sold almost all of the big stuff that was taking up the garage. A little work tomorrow in there and the home gym will be up and running again! I cannot wait to lift again. The good news for me is I am able to burn fat quickly..I just need cardio or weights..so the last 2 weeks of vacation will consist of cardio and weights. I am down 8 lbs now.

Tomorrow is our first Mothers day. I think we are going to meet some of Nicole's family at a park in Huntington Beach..so Kai can see his extended family. I will take pics and post after.

Kai Update

Well Kai has tooth #8 breaking through..so that makes 4 up top and 4 on the bottom. Hopefully now that this tooth has popped through he'll sleep through the night. Lately he has been going down at 8:00pm and waking up at 11:00pm and sometime between 1:30am and 2:30am. At least after the second wake up he goes back down until 8:00am..if only he could go 8:00pm until 8:00am.

His favorite thing to do lately is crawl over to the dog water bowl and splash the water out before we get to him. He's super fast! He has been standing up holding onto the furniture forever but doesn't seem interested in walking. I have noticed that he can stand alone for a second or 2...I guess thats a start...

Tomorrow he needs to go in an have some blood drawn to check his Iron level..this is going to be a fun morning.

Diet Update

I am down 7 lbs! That would be Kai at birth...I have done great working out daily. Yesterday I took the dogs on a 30 minute walk..which was tough with sunburn feet and shoulders..and today I went on a 10 mile bike ride..which was tough on my butt..thats the longest I have riden since my knee surgery. At this rate I should meet my goal of 15lbs by Memorial Day.

Beach Day

Here are a bunch of pics of Kai at his first day at the beach:

AAAHHHHH

After a long weekend playing soccer in the sand, breathing sand, eating sand, peeing sand, sneezing sand, burping sand, and even pooping sand all I wanted to do was come home and have a nice cold Irn Bru...and let me tell you it hit the spot...



If only they made it in the US....

Our Poor Feet

Both my feet and Nicole's feet are tore up. I have a huge blister on the ball of my left foot, plus a neat little sunburn on the top of my right foot only..very odd. Nicole has about 3 blisters between some of her toes..all from playing sand soccer...of course I have a nice sunburn on my arms...exactly where I did not put sunscreen...which is everywhere but a 5 inch strip on the upper arm..

Here is a quick pic of Nicole and Kai


We ended up playing 5 games in 2 days and losing in the Finals to a semi pro team..by 1 goal in the last 2 mins..considering we were all over 30..thats not bad at all!

Weekend in the Sun

We are down in Oceanside for a sand soccer tournament...Kai got his first taste of the ocean..lets just say he hated it and refused to let his feet hit the water..he did play in the sand and he even tried to take some home in his mouth. I will post pics when we get home....

So far I have done fairly well on this diet...I have yet to eat a french fry for over a week..that is a record for me...we walked almost 3 miles today..which is the most I've been able to do since surgery 8 months ago..it must be the 2 cortisone shots.

Again I am down 5 lbs...10 lbs to go for my goal on my vacation....woo hoo!
