So Proud

Today I am proud of myself because...


1. I didn't want to go to the gym and I totally got in bed and was going to stay home...but I didn't-I got off my butt and went to the gym.

2. I did the eliptical for 30 minutes, and I ran again for 5 straight minutes!

3. I made an awesome dinner that was fairly healthy and my hubby loved it!

4. I made these two beautiful babies (I am proud about that every day!)

So proud...

I went to the gym today and I kicked butt on the eliptical machine. And then I ran for 5 minutes straight on the treadmill-which seems super weak and pathetic, but for me, this is a huge accomplishment!! I am so proud of myself! 20 lbs by Cabo-it actually sees doable right now!

Here's the Real Deal

So Ryan earned a free trip to Cabo for the two of us in April.



Did I mention it was free? And All Inclusive? And in Cabo?

So my new goal is to lose 20 lbs by the trip. I have a game plan, because game plans are good!
I will go to the gym at least 5 days a week-here is the schedule:

Monday-work on Machines for 45 minutes
Tuesday-Body Attack at 4:30 (did this today and it kicked my butt, but was super fun!)
Wednesday-work on Machines for 45 minutes
Thursday-Body Combat at 4:30 (I freaking love this class!)
Friday-Day off, because seriously, who is going to go work out on a Friday night? I am a hip 30 year old and I like to party. By party I mean go to dinner with my hubby and kids and then go to bed around 9:30
Saturday-Body Pump at 8:30
Sunday-Body Combat at 2:00

I am also trying to really watch what I am eating. This week has been going well, except for a minor slip up at La Mesa...but I am back on track.

I am hoping to lose about 3 pounds this week...

Happy Thanksgiving!






I am just going to pretend that it hasn't been months since I have blogged. Let's just go with that okay?


Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Today I really want to take some time to think about what I am really thankful for. I have been reading so many blogs and hearing so many stories about sadness (sick children, families losing loved ones) that it makes me pause and really think about all the wonderful things in my life. I'm not sure why I am so lucky, but I am so grateful.



I am thankful that I have two beautiful daughters who are healthy and smart and that give my life meaning every day. Sometimes I am too tired to play, or too cranky to rock Leah to sleep, or just too caught up in my own life. But when I think about people who long for children, or sleep in a hospital bed next to their sick baby, or are mourning the loss of a child or pregnancy-it makes me realize what I have.






I am thankful for a husband who I love very much. Even though he knows how to push my buttons and sometimes I want to strangle him-I can not imagine going through life alone. I can't imagine trying to raise the girls without a partner, and I can't imagine sleeping in an empty bed. He works so hard for us, and I am grateful.






I am thankful that I have a house, a car, and a job. I know there are people who go without.






I am thankful for my family. I am thankful that I still have my mom and my dad and that I have two sisters who I love very much. I am thankful that I have grandparents and aunts, and uncles, and cousins. I am truly blessed with my family.






I am thankful for my wonderful friends. I am always amazed that I have so many people who actually love me and who are always there for me!


I have a wonderful like and I can't ask for much more!



I have to end with a little story. Kendall made a turkey at preschool, and on the feathers are all of the things she is thankful for. Kendall is thankful for her mommy and daddy, her sister Leah, her puppies, and....CHICKENS!






Adios,



JLo

I'm back













So I am back with my second attempt to keep my New Year's Resolution to blog every day! Seriously, I mean business this time! It is going to get done. I mean it. I think I need to start small-I always think I need these super profound thoughts...but instead I am going to focus on blogging about the girls and life at home, and I'm sure those profound thoughts will come through!









Since I am going to be blogging about the family, I think I will introduce the fam-on the off chance that someone other than myself will read this blog!










The Logans







This is my fabulous family!




Ryan aka Logan




I am so lucky that I married such an amazing man! Ryan is my best friend and he makes me laugh every single day. He is in the direct marketing business, and he works hard every day in order to provide for his girls! He is super anal, and a little OCD and both of those things totally get on my nerves on a daily basis, but it is actually exactly what I need in a partner! He is a wonderful husband and an incredible daddy. He lives for sports and video games (typical male). He never has a bad thing to say about anybody, and is always the life of the party!




Kendall aka KLo aka Boos



Kendall is the smartest, funniest, cutest 2 year old in the world (and that is a fact!). Seriously, this girl is a riot! She is the best little girl-very rarely disobeys, always says I love you and just has the sweetest smile-it breaks my heart! She loves playing outside and swimming, and going to the park, singing and dancing. She hates eating vegetables but loves candy. She is super smart-like genius smart! She wants to be a mommy when she grows up.





Leah Harper aka the poor girl has no nicknames yet!

Leah is almost 3 months old. She is definitely a mommy's girl and the ultimate diva! She is happy until you put her down, and then she throws her fits! She has just started to smile and coo, and it is about the cutest thing you'll ever see. She loves listening to her daddy laugh and she loves our nightly Logan household dance parties. She doesn't want to miss out on anything, which means when I need her to nap she doesn't-but she sleeps great at night. She is a very spoiled little girl already!

So that is my wonderful family. I can not believe how lucky I am-I have the best life!

Okay, off to the pool!

Life is Good

Right now I am sitting on my comfy chair in my family room. The room is a mess, I have folded laundry by me that needs to be put away, Ryan is watching some stupid movie, and Kendall is standing on the coffee table, singing at the top of her lungs. As I look at her I realize that I have the best life ever.

Random...

Things that are on my mind at 8:37 on a Thursday...
1. My new year's resolution is to become a scarf girl. I am going to wear scarves out and be hip. I currently own four scarves. I have only worn one, but I am planning on going all out and wearing one to my work meeting tomorrow-I am so freaking hip.

2. I have 9 weeks before my baby girl comes and I am so not prepared. No nursery, no new clothes, nothing. Not even a middle name-poor girl. But I am so over the moon for her already! I can't wait to meet her.

3. I have caramel cheesecake in the fridge-now I am going to rush through this blog so I can eat an extremely large piece.

4. I wish I was a really really good singer. I wish I was on American Idol.

5. I am quite certain that I have the smartest two year in the world. I should probably start saving money for Harvard.

6. I have so many other random thoughts, but I can't stop thinking about that cheesecake!

G'night!

Jennie
