Blog Hiatus

I have not been so inclined to brag about my very exciting life lately.  I can tell you have all been waiting by your computers to know "What is Dorothy doing today?"
(This Blog is especially for Alyssa who pointed out that I have not blogged in 2 months!)

Hmmm lets see.

-Went on a relaxing getaway with Keith, 2 nights in Monterey and 3 nights in Santa Barbara.  Napped, read, ate...PERFECT vacation!

-Spent and evening in the Emergency Room, when I thought I had broke my arm.  I tripped over Wrigley (jes & les' monster dog) and ate it hard. In the end, I just had pinched a nerve & got a whole lot of drugs!

-Spent Memorial Day at Pine Mountain Lake...fell in love with it.

- Did our first IUI round with injectables - made one big follicle, but no baby. (At least there was a response - better luck next time!)

- Still have been working out, but have maintained my weight since last posting.  "Still up in the gym just working on my fitness...dorothylicious"

That's all folks!  Maybe I will get my grove back

WoooooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooo!

252.4...almost to pre Christmas weight...My goal is in sight!

New Wheels

I got a brand new bike!  I decided to treat myself to some new wheels. I got a new helmet, and the most awesome bike bell,  it says "I 'heart' my bike". They even threw in a new water bottle.

On Saturday, I headed out on my first bike ride.  I was not prepared for how tired I was going to get. 10 Minutes into the ride I was done, my butt hurt and my legs were tired.  Gabrielle, my workout partner, told me to push through, until we finally figured out the problem was that my seat was too low. I was riding like a low rider. Once the seat was positioned correctly this bike riding thing became a lot easier.  Keith had told Gabrielle before we headed out to make sure I did not do anything crazy (apparently he thinks I am accident prone).  So as I jumped VERY small bumps, to try out the 'hydrolics', in the church parking lot I was warned to BE CAREFUL.

First bike ride on my new wheels was a success!  Anyone want to go for a ride???

20,910 and counting.

Hiking craze.
Thursday, Debbie and I ventured out to our regular walking spot at Harvey Bear.  However, instead of doing our normal 2 mile walk around the pasture, Debbie decided we needed a challenge. We hiked up the hill and made it to the top! When we got to the top there were two serial killers (according to Debbie) eating sunflower seeds.  She was certain that if there were not two us, one of us would have been killed.  I assured her serial killers do not eat sunflowers seeds - too messy. There was also a beautiful view of the lake and a sun shiny day. Do we go back the way we came or head down the hill on a new path?
You guessed it, we took the path less traveled. We thought we would never get to the bottom. We encountered a few more hills, some cows, and had to excuse our selves around them as they crossed the trail, and a lot of cow dung, such a wonderful aroma.  At one point Debbie suggested we lay in an X formation and someone might come rescue us - no such luck.  We made our way to the bottom, just in time for me to make a MAD dash to the porta potty. (It was almost Monster Truck #2)
We ended up doing about 6 miles- and had a fun time doing it!


Saturday, I hiked 10.5 miles up the PG&E trail at Rancho San Antonio.  This was quite the acomplishment for me.  My goal was to make it to the top by this summer - so I did it!  I will not mention the 3 times I almost quit and was passed by 70 year olds (not even breathing hard).  But the important thing is I made to the top and am alive to tell about it. When we got to the bottom our pedometer said 20,910 steps!

So, looks like all my adventures paid off this week.  Weigh in 255.8. (Down 1 lb)

Tipping the scales

Good news on the Fat Front...the scales have tipped in my favor. (It is about time!)  Although I took the weekend off from working out, I have been busting my butt otherwise.  The food I ate could have been better - but it is a work in  progress. I am still a little behind my goal of 245 by Memorial Day, (1.4lb weight loss a week) but I WILL catch up.

This weeks weigh in...256.8! Down 2.2 - Yay for me!!!

Deep Breaths

Tuesday's weight 259. So at least I am down, if only .6.  My blood, sweat and tears are barley noticeable on the scale. I have high hopes for next week.

Little Shitter

That sweet little face has the sweetest little butt that shit on me. I lifted the cutest little naked body out of the tub only to get a special surprise, a little yellow poo on his towel and my sweater. 

"He just shit everywhere!" I said to Nadien.

"shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit..." repeats Zinho over nad over.

Nadien gives me a look, I say sorry.

I stick him back in the tub and then ask Nadien for a new towel for the "Little Shitter".

Again the word "shit". I think I am officially banned from the house.

I wrap him in a towel and head to his  room. I open the towel only to find ANOTHER POO!

Jeez. 

I am not sure I have ever diapered a child so fast.
