We're Back!!

Hello all,

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks, Candace's work and our vacations has sidetracked us both from keeping everyone up to date in our new lifestyle progress. Before everyone posts "What about your 2 month weigh in and pictures", they are coming soon. I promise!

Our two month weigh in was right during our family vacation and the internet connection up in Welches, OR was terrible. Candace and I should will post some time this Sunday, which is our 2 1/2 month anniversary. Going forward will be at the half month marker since there probably will be no major changes in our weight in just two weeks.

Lets see, I have been able to go to the gym 3 times this week, and Candace has told her boss that she needs to leave by 6 on Tuesday and Thursdays so that she can work out and she did this week!!! And since it was the first time in 3 weeks, Candace did really great working out, she made it for 60 minutes and even went over to say goodbye to her cousin's Cassie and her husband and kids good bye. Even though Candace has been way to busy to work-out (14 hour days) she still has been eating healthy. I make her lunches and snacks, and then have dinner ready for her when she drags herself home.

Even though workouts on Sunday and Tuesday were great, my Thursday workout was exercise in futility. We started out on the treadmill and after 10 minutes it felt like I had needles in my shins. Hopefully I don't have the beginning of shin splints, since they take FOREVER to heal up. So I stopped and Candace got off the treadmill (it was making her feel very weak) and went on the elipptical machine and again after 10 minutes it felt like I was going to pass out. I wasn't do anything harder than I have been, I just had absolutely no energy. I felt bad though, Candace was flying on the elippitcal machine, normally she is going at 3.5 mph but Thursday she was at almost 4.5 to 5.0 mph! She was very nice to me and got off early then we went to go pick up Buttonz from her dad's house. We, (or should I say me,) are watching him as Candace's dad and stepmom are going out of town for the next couple of days.

We will try to make it to the gym tonight, it depends on what time Candace is able to get off work tonight. Anyways, not that much else is going on, so until later...
