Food Trucks & Fireworks

We wanted a little baconmania in our lives so we went down to Redlands for some bacon wrapped pb & j's and some bacon wrapped macaroni and cheese bites there was several other food trucks there too but it was wayyyyy to hot for us to be out there because it was on the asphalt and just felt so hot we couldnt even catch a break in the shade.



So we decided to have lunch indoors so we enjoyed a nice lunch together at Toby Keith's I love this bar which has the most yummiest food ever and the corn bread is to die for yummmmmm anyways after our dinner we went home where we were invited to sit at the country club to watch the fireworks rather than watching them from our backyard so we hopped in the car really fast and headed over to the country club with Todd, Lacy, Taylor, & Gage to watch the firework show that happens every year right before the 4th of July. We realized that we miss about 80% of the fireworks from our house so I'm glad that we actually went to see them this year instead of just lounging at home to watch them. After the show we just went home and relaxed the rest of the night and enjoyed alittle family time. :o)

Boot Camp & 30lbs!!!

I cant believe that after 2 months I have lost 30 pounds and Im sure several inches, but I didnt measure my inches before I started so I cant really keep track. Now I know I said inb my last weight post that I was waiting to try on my super skinny jeans, well I tried them on and they fit!! no side fat or anything yes!!! So now that I have accomplished a few of my 1st goals I have some more to go.....
1. get below 200 pounds
2. get below 190 pounds
3. get to my goal weight of 185 and who knows maybe keep going
4. go down another size in pants
5. fit into some of my skinny shirts that I cant wear now.
I know these are all do able now that I have done so much already! I started out by trying a new workout that is super hard core and done by 1 of Angela's friends, Joselyn, and its BOOTCAMP!!! So I now have been to 2 Bootcamps now and let me tell you, they are pretty damn hard, but make you feel soooooo good afterward. The 1st time was a partners one, where Angela was my partner and pushed me thru it when I started to feel like I couldnt go on. The second one was individual and was harder than the first and oh my goodness was I sore the next couple days during both bootcamps. We did different things like crab crawls, plank walks, a booty workout, crunches, running, lundges and so much more. I wanted to do the next one but I have to work the next 2 bootcamps, darn it!!
BEFORE 1ST BOOTCAMP

OH YES!!!

BEFORE SECOND BOOTCAMP

This was taken at almost 30 lbs, but I am now 30 lbs smaller woohoooo!!


GOT TO KEEP PUSHING! THE MORE I PUSH MYSELF THE BETTER I FEEL AND LOOKS!!!

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to all the great dads out there!! This Fathers day was a tad bit different than usual. We usually have a family BBQ at Mike & Angela's house but this year we went to Mikes dads house to swim in the pool. We were a man down lol cause Mike had a lot of fun the night before, however we still made due. We had a sun sandwich and just little finger foods and mom & dad came over for a while to hang out with us also. The spa was warm so Ethan spent most of his time in there. Overall it was a great day and I'm glad we got to spend it with family!

Congratulations Taylor!!

My niece, Taylor, is no longer in elementary school anymore, she's growing up!! She had her 6th grade promotion and it was the cutest darn thing ever. Every 6th grader went up to the microphone and said what they wanted to be when they grow up and where they will be in 2018, when they graduate high school. Taylor wants to get in the movie business but not as an actress but more like behind the screens, film producer stuff. They then did a few camp songs which freaking cracked me up and they even had one that we had to participate in as well, Ethan thought it was so funny! After the songs we watched a sideshow from the whole school year but Taylor wasn't in very many of the pictures she must be camera shy lol she made a ceramic tile that will hang in the school and we had refreshments. Overall it was a great ceremony and I'm so very proud of the young lady she has become!!





After everything was over we went to Mike's dads house with several of Taylor's friends for a pool party and snacks. Ethan had a great time playing in the water and on the play ground with his friend Gage! The kids jumped in the pool several times making cannon balls and laughing. The day was a success for sure! Congrats again Tay!!! We love you ♥

1 pantsize down, oh yea!!!

Boot Camp Saturday at 8am! Eeeekkk am I ready for this!

I have dropped a whole pant size since April. Ever since I was pregnant and after having the boys I haven't gotten myself out of a size 17. I mainly remained in a size 19 and one time got down to a 17 about a year ago. Well it's been 2 months and I'm back in my size 17s! Most of them fit me rather well but I haven't tried on my super skinny 17s yet, I'm waiting a few more weeks for those lol bootcamp is this Saturday and although I am scared I think I'll be able to handle it. I've made dome huge progress and I hope to get below 200 by end of July! Bootcamp here I come!!!!
