Jason

How do kids do it?

She is totally asleep.

Week 3

-23 lbs

Y'all ready for this?

Week 2It might not look like much as been lost, but oh it has. We've lost a cummulative 16.6 pounds. Next week won't be as exciting, but this week was worth it! I'm dying for an apple or banana are slice of toast. It's coming, it's coming. 1 more week until then. After that I might only update once or twice a month since the results will slow way down. We're on our way to being slimmer people, hah.

A First for Colby

Colby had his first day of preschool today. The only preschools here are run by different churches. My friend introduced me to the one Colby goes to, and he loved it today. He went to a week program this summer, so it wasn't a strange place when he went this morning. He was happy to go and wanted to show off his backpack. I forgot to take pictures this morning, so I took some after we got home, which was after his nap because he fell asleep on the way home. I guess preschool is hard work.
(If you're wondering, Eva isn't punching Colby, she's trying to get him to look up. In the car after we dropped him off she kept saying, "I want to stay at school with Colby!")

South Beach

Jason and I have decided its time to take drastic action. We're starting the South Beach diet today. I figured if I put it on the blog we'd really have to stick to it. I got the book on Saturday and decided it's not really a "diet." The man who wrote the book is a cardiologist from Miami, and he actually created the diet for his patients who were at risk for heart attack. He never planned on it being used as a way to make people look better, just to make his patients healthier. Other people found out about it and started using it and it spread like wildfire. It's all about good fats and no bad carbs. Whole grain foods, olive oil, etc, no white sugar. For the first two weeks we don't get any breads, pasta, rice, beans, FRUIT...so, here goes nothing. We'll take pictures every Sunday night/Monday morning and report back. Go us!

I (really) hate goodbyes.

This morning I dropped my friend and her kids, some of the best friends we will ever have, off at the airport for their big move to Hawaii.
To the Alexanders:
I love you guys and appreciate every minute we've been able to spend with you. Especially the last couple of weeks. You've made our lives better. You won't, and can't, be forgotten. We'll miss you until we get see you again.
P.S. Time to start a blog!!! :)
