So many things have happened since my last blog. Unfortunately a new little one was not one of them but we are getting geared up to get back into the swing of it. I finished my first and last season with the Shreveport Aftershock. It is a proffessional women's football team. It was great and my wife and I met so many great people. Four of them are in the pic on the left. We are from left to right...Me (leigh), my wife (Char), Suzanne, Jen (Juice), my buddy (ATodd) and my buddy's wifey (Steph). We have made it through a summer of a week long vacation with the inlaws, my grandfather had his second bypass surgery is was six at one time the first time was a quad, my papaw has been in and out of the hospital with his heart, my brother and my beautiful silly nephew have moved back to North Carolina with his wifey, bought a new Toyota Tundra CrewMax (planning to put lots of kids in the back) two weeks later fender bendered the Beautiful new truck, cried like crazy it was my first wreck, we went canoeing (see the pick above) and probably the most wonderful of all we celebrated our first wedding aniversary. WOOWOO
So now fall is slowly creeping in and the leaves are turning and hopefully someday will can turn the a/c off and open the windows though that comes very late in the year down here in the south and even then you better have good screens on or the mosquitoes will come in and take you away. Football games are roaring at the school behind our house and the drum beat rumbles over to our yard and we sit on our back porch and enjoy a freshly grill something and enjoy the crisp air.
Fall rolling in also means the holidays wont be far behind. And with holidays comes lots of wonderful food. Then there is the new years resolutions that come and so quickly go for the most part. So Char, ATodd, Steph and I have decided to tackle them early. Early Bird gets the worm, right?. So as of yesterday Sept 24,2007 we started our "fitness challenge" for lack of an even more corny name. We are putting 20$ per person a month into a pot to be won on christmas by whoever has lost the most weight precentage wise. It has to be done by making healthy lifestyle changes with no assistance from diet pills.
I think I will add my fitness challenge journey into the blog and see if that helps. My biggest step will be to cut out the cokes or in my case Dr. Pepper. So far I have not had a Dr. Pepper or coke of any kind in 43 hrs. WooWoo. I have also lost one pound of course I know that will vary day to day but hey I am celebrating any little victory.
Well I must do some work. I will blog more later. We do plan on ttc again very soon. More about that later.
