Update

So there has been a lack of posts lately, but not a lack of happenings.

First, Lisa left her job at the gym. I won't go into details, it just wasn't a good fit any longer. Since leaving the gym I have been busy with some side jobs. The first is working at the Community Center again with the rest of the family. They put on an annual haunted house and hayride, which I am helping set up for the second year in a row.

I am also getting my personal training certification soon. As a part of this new venture I have started teaching a weight loss class. The class is once a week and so far we have a class of 11 people. It is run like the "Biggest Loser", where whoever loses the largest percentage of body weight at the end of 12 weeks wins a cash prize, as well as 2nd and 3rd place too. So far I have had one class, but I can already tell I am going to love it. It gives me an opportunity to teach and help people get healthy.

I have also joined a boot camp taught by my personal trainer that I met at the gym I worked at. So far it has been going on for 2 weeks and it is a great workout. I won our competitive challenge this past Saturday, which was pretty awesome.

Ryder is growing like crazy. He has been spending the middle of the day at a babysitter's in town and loves it there. He gets a couple of hours of playing time in with other kids around his age and then has lunch, a nap and then I pick him up. A pretty good schedule for a little guy. He has entered what I like to call the parrot stage. He immediately repeats everything you say, especially what Daddy says. His favorite things right now are Cars and Thomas the Train.

Jeremy is still working in the concrete business, which isn't quite picking up yet. They are trying to ride out this construction slump though.

In our free time (what little there is) Jeremy and I joined the gym out here and have been working out "together" almost everyday. We are really working on getting healthier and bigger/smaller (Jeremy/Lisa).
