So I am determined to shed some pounds and in my quest to do so, I have joined a gym and now have a personal trainer. My gym had a really good deal that I couldn't pass up and with Mike and I having house/baby sat this past weekend, we took that money and put it towards Operation "Juggly - Jiggles Be Gone". I have never worked with a personal trainer before and I had my very first session yesterday hence the reason why I am now updating my blog. I swear I have pulled every muscle imaginable and now I can't move or even get out of bed! (Ok, I might be exaggerating a little) Our supposed to be hour session only lasted half an hour as I almost passed out, and that is NO exaggeration. Apparently I was starting to sway and he called it quits for the day. I wish I could say, it was the best experiences of my life. I felt so energized, invigorated, ready to take on the world...but really, I just wanted to die, right there in the middle of the gym at the tender age of 29! My lungs burned, my legs throbbed and arms felt like mush. What could be more pleasurable really? ;)
I think it is the type of motivation I need though and after watching the Biggest Loser last night, I'm counting my blessings that he isn't ANYTHING like Jillian! Now there is one tough cookie!

In other news, Jack is growing like a weed. He has his 4 month appt coming up with the doctor next week and I can't wait to see what she tells me how he is doing as far as height and weight. He's also talkig up a storm. Here's a little tidbit for you. He's most talkative in the morning and at night right before he goes to bed. He also does this really funny buggy eyed thing when you turn out the lights and we tried to capture it on camera but I'm not sure how it turned out.
Enjoy!

Hallowinner!
Well Hallow's Eve has come and gone and Jack got to experience his very first one. We were going to just put him in a box and put a paper that read "Jack In The Box" but we had to use the cute little pirate costume we had so here he is...
CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW
Pay no attention to his frontal wedgie. Lucky for him he's wearing a diaper!
We had a pretty quiet evening. We spent time with the inlaws eating homemade cinnamon buns and watching Harry Potter. Shari (Mike's sister) and I handed out candy and had a blast. We kept thinking of all of these funny/mean things we should do to the kids that came to the door, but decided it would probably be best not to. I can't even remember that last time I handed out candy for Halloween. Actually, I don't think I've ever done it. It made me excited for when Jack gets a little older and were able to take him out. I debated about taking him out this year, but really, he has no teeth!! I would have felt kind of silly going door to door with my wee little pirate. There's always next year.
Seriously Dad...that's the best mustache you could do with a brown eyeliner?
