We've been really busy this last week and have neglected to take very many pictures of Brooks. I completed my Body for Life Challenge on Friday! It was an awesome feeling to accomplish such a hard goal. The Body for Life Challenge is a 12 week weight loss and muscle building program. It is very easy to understand, you don't starve and it WORKS! I lost almost 2o pounds (through the two 12 week cycles that I did) and lots of inches. I went from a size 12 to a size 8/10 depending on the brand. I also have tons of energy and feel a lot better about myself. I am now officially under the weight I was when I got pregnant with Brooks. It only took 17 months! :)
We did the St. Paul tri last weekend and both did really well. Greg got 11th place overall in a field of hundreds. I got 1st in my age group and was the 12th woman across the line. I surprised myself completely, as I don't train for tri's. I guess the Body for Life program pays off in more ways than I thought.
Greg snapped this picture as I was heading off to the gym. It was a beautiful day and so fun to take my scooter out. I haven't been able to ride it much because I obviously can't strap Brooks onto the back of it and he usually goes everywhere I go!

We went out to eat last night to celebrate finishing the Body for Life Challenge. Greg was super supportive of the whole thing and helped me through the times that I thought I was going to quit. Greg put diamond earrings under my pillow to congratulate me on my VICTORY! What a sweetie.
I didn't mention that I did the challenge with my sister Steph. We thought it would be fitting to wear matching dresses to celebrate. It was fun to feel good in such a "sexy" dress! Our dinner wasn't very tasty, but it was a romantic night. Greg and Keven borrowed a Cadillac sportscar to escort us around in. It was so fun.
The most important person...Brooks. He is such a buddy and has matured so much even in the last couple of weeks. His favorite thing right now is books. He sits still (for a short period of time) and lets us read to him. He is growing so fast and becoming a little man right before our very eyes.
