Earth Day 5K run

Last Saturday was the Earth Day 3K/5K walk/run. I am proud to say I ran the 5K in 35 minutes! Not my fastest mile time but I still did good. We signed in at 8 and the run didn't start until 9 so Rayden was stuck in his stroller for an hour before we even started running. He started crying before I even got to the first check point thing and I was so mad. I thought I was going to have to turn around and not be able to finish. I tried giving him his sippy cup and crunchies but he didn't want that. My keys made him happy and then soon after he fell asleep. I was so happy to finish and be able to say I ran a 5K. This Saturday I am going to run another 5K!

Family Car

This last weekend we traded in our 2007 Scion TC for a 2004 Subaru Forester 2.5X. I have been wanting a bigger family car for a long time and now I finally have one! The scion was a nice car and got really good gas mileage but we were tired of having to crawl to the back seat to put Rayden in his carseat. Another bad thing about the scion is it had the biggest blindspots ever. There was no point in looking over your shoulder to see if there was a car because you wouldn't be able to see anyway. Now That I have the forester I feel like I can see everything! The interior isn't the best looking but it will do the job. Another plus is now I don't have to take off the stroller wheels to fit it in the car :)

Weight weight go away

So as you could probably tell I gained twice as much weight as I should've when I was pregnant. At the beginning of my pregnancy I wasn't gaining and then I was on the right track and out of nowhere I would gain 10 lbs a week! I ended up gaining 64 lbs and weighing over 220 lbs at the end of my pregnancy!
After the first week of having Rayden I lost about 35 lbs and then I was stuck for the longest time not losing any weight. I was at 185 forever and now that I started running about 3 miles most mornings beginning in March I have lost 10 lbs and am down to 175.
I'm so happy to finally be moving and losing weight. I still have 15 more lbs to go to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight and fit into all my clothes I still can't wear. I'm shooting to lose more and get down lower than that though.

This is when Rayden was a week old.


This is a couple months before getting pregnant.
