A busy week in our valley

Today Pres Bill Clinton is speaking at the ASU Gammage Theater.

All week is the FBR, golf tourny.

And Sunday is Superbowl! Talk about needing to stay close to home!

Mike is at the FBR today, all day. He and about 5 other reps he knows are sharing a tent and hosting their reps. It's on the famed 16th hole, a par 3, where a few years back the fans threw beer cans and such at Tiger Woods and he has refused to come back since. So Mike will be gone all day, actually he left at 5:30 for a breakfast meeting before hand, and most of the night.

Yesterday I signed up with a Personal Trainer! I am so tired of being so disgusted at myself when I see pictures and because I can't exercise with the zoo, which would motivate me to NOT eat that yummy mini mounds that turns into 8, or the mini kit kat, etc, I have opted to spend the money, make the time for me and get moving. I have small goals and milestones in mind so I don't fail.

Last year after having Teagan, I worked out in a small bootcamp training, with 4 other girls, twice a week and in 3 months I was down 3 sizes! So I'm hoping for better results because I will be training 3x a week. Monday and Wednesday nights and early Saturday morning. I really wish I could do 5 but I don't think I can find the time or keep away from my family that much. 

Soooo it's 9 mins from here, just a mile north of the hospital where I had Teagan, for those of you who know how close that is to home. My trainer, who I have yet to met, Joe, seems really nice. The owner does all the sales and selects your trainer for you dependant upon your goals. They have a quikfit station as well, where they preprogram a flash like drive for you and you can work out without a trainer. I'm so motivate! I start next Wednesday. I am going to try and get on my elliptical in the meantime so I'm not so sore come training days. I pray I'm not too sore!

Tomorrow is a day of beauty for me at Dolce, where I will get my roots fixed ;-) Candy is always so relaxing to be around. She has no drama in her life, compared to all the hairdressers I have been to and worked with. 

Tomorrow night is our first small group as well! I can't to further our continuing education in God and form some great relationships with friends that share our same beliefs. By the way, our Pastor Roger looks amazing! Talk about motivation! He has steadily been dropping weight since last fall! Where he once could not tuck a shirt in, he now is a suave gentleman dressing in his regular khaki's and button up shortsleeves and longsleeves, but he looks amazing! He went on like the Atkins diet, and it is really working for him. He just isn't eating high fatty meats. He says, "I put it on, so I need to take it off, not cheat and have gastric bypass surgery." This past weekend he had on new frames, very contemporary and he grew a goatee! Seriously, such motivation!

So today is my driving day for the boys. Our little neighbor Lauren comes over which will be really great for a break for me. I will most likely hit the grocery store for more milk, but it will be a nice getaway.
