Victor Emmanuel Flynn


I am happy to report that I am an Aunt for the 12th time now!!!!!

Victor Emmanuel Flynn was born this morning. So happy for you Danny and Genevieve, welcome to the parenting world. It's a lot of fun. I'll try and post a picture when someone sends us one. I would have though Grampie would be on top of that by now :). Mom and baby are doing well and I can't wait to meet the little man.

Now we are just waiting for Trevor and Sarah to have their third son, hopefully soon for her sake and he doesn't stay put too much longer.

Making some changes

Well my fittness group is doing a challenge for the next three months and I signed up. I really need to get on the health wagon not that I am horrible but I do need to do more, but having issues since I exercise outside most of the time and all of Jan was pretty wet. It's suppose to rain tomorrow but I think as long as it not a wash out pour we are going to go running in it. I just hope it doesn't make my cold worst.

So anyhow I am giving up a lot of my favorite foods which may not seem that bad b/c they aren't junk food per-say but still aren't that great for you. So good bye cheese which I love, dried fruit even the ones that aren't sweeten(do you realize the sugar contain in the can be worst than candy etc, and I can just eat a whole package or dried mango which is not sweeten or sulfured), cut my peanut butter consumption down and bread too. I need to cut my snacking down to and up my water consumption, and of course treat that are junk, like I love carrot cake and the grocery store sale is by the slice and tom will pick one up now and than for me it's so good with the cream cheese frosting...yummy sadly good bye and chocolate too. I think I will reward myself with one treat once a week but it will be small. I think those are my small goals right now(there is more I am giving up but just can't remember them all at the moment) and of course try and run twice a week on my own after tom come home and the boys are in bed. Late night runs suck at the beginning but I enjoyed them once so I can do it again. It will have to be at our little gym b/c it's still dark by the time tom gets home. So here is hoping no one is on the one treadmill they have here. Weigh in is tomorrow morning and this month is strength building, I think march is endurance and April is flexibility in the challenge but not sure on that.

Would love to join a gym but not able to at this time do to money. I am hoping I can get some glasses this month but we'll see. However the eye dr said my eyes got a bit better so yay on that, I never thought that could happen especially since they say you eyes can normally get worst through pregnancy's and of course age. but I'll take better eyes any day. However they are still the worst eyes in the astigmatism world he's ever seen haha. But the got better !!!!

well time to figure out what to cook for supper, Oh how I wish someone would cook for me. I managed to clean the kitchen, bathroom, dinning room today, all with the scrubbing etc. and of course the normal tidying up, that I really don't feel like cooking but I guess we need to eat. Here is hoping I find something to make them, maybe a tuna casserole is in order tonight since it's easy and everyone will eat it.
