Well almost a year later and I'm finally getting around to my 2nd post! A lot has happened in the past year but I'll spare you most of the details and start from this past weekend....
Memorial Day Weekend 2010
It's been a pretty eventful weekend...lots of friends, family & fun! It all started on Friday night when I went to the gym w/Sara. We have been working out hard lately at SS&F and on Friday she pretty much forced me to try Zumba class...I was VERY against it but had SO much fun! My hips don't really move like the teachers do but oh well I'm sure I burned a few calories trying :) When class was done I decided to stay and go on the treadmill for a few minutes. I have been wanting to *attempt* to run lately (esp after seeing the biggest loser finalists run a marathon) but haven't dared to try-assuming that I'd fail. I've never been able to run very long/far but I figured if I could run at least a 1/2 mile I'd be pretty happy. Well I got on and started running and ran a whole mile w/no problem! I was pretty excited that's for sure--I know it's not much for most people but I was proud and hoping that in time I can work my way up to 2 or 3 miles at a time!
Saturday started off with another good workout w/Sara and her new neighbor Sonja...we went to Group Step class. It was a hard class but a lot of fun..and I think Sonja officially hates us lol. I love the instructor on Saturdays- she's so full of energy (even when she wasn't feeling well!) and makes the time go by quickly. Later on Saturday Treston and I set out to find a new bike (after returning my crap one to walmart). We ventured out to Cape Able (or is it Abel?) in Kennebunk only to find that it closed-for good, so we turned around and headed to Saco to Gorham Bike & Ski where we found an awesome hybrid! It was a little more money than I wanted to spend but I think in the long run it'll be worth it :) I couldn't wait to get out riding but when we got home we went next door to a BBQ with our neighbors. We had lots of food and met some new people and before I knew it it was time to head to Portland. Jerm and Ange picked me up and we headed out to the GLB to meet up with even more people. The rest of the night included some drinks, yummy food and great friends! Even Lynne came over with Kristine which was pretty cool too! I hadn't seen her in years and we had a lot of fun talking about the good ole days back at UMM...what we could remember of them anyway!
Sunday started off with a couple of fun filled hours at the gym...we did TWO classes and I left exhausted--we then ventured to Biddo to get an Oreo softserve ice cream but only to find the place hadn't opened yet *tear* Oh well...a caramel iced coffee hit the spot just as well :) I headed home and spend the rest of the afternoon w/Treston Rob Christina and the boys working on our yard...which looks fabulous now! Tyler and I played pass with the softball for a little bit too--he's going to be one heck of a baseball player one day! Once they all left I set out for my first bike ride down Simpson Rd. I went only a couple of miles since my legs were still tired from the morning but I had so much fun!@ I found that I'm deathly afraid of getting hit by a car but I think I'll get used to it as time goes on.
And finally...Memorial Day! No gym today...I had told Sara that I'd be going out on the boat pretty early so I couldn't work out but we didn't end up leaving until after noon hehe oops! Our afternoon was spent out on Sebago Lake with Arnie & Cher. We even brought Guntherboy who def enjoyed his time out on the water. It was a beautiful and warm day however the sky was full of smoke being blown down from some large forest fires in Quebec....it looked like fog or a hazy summer day but the weather itself was perfect. I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow once I upload them to my computer.
Now it's about bedtime and I'm laying in bed...listening to Treston breathe slowly and Gunther snoring behind my head on the pillow. I love moments like this--peaceful. I love my boys so much :)
Until next time....*M*
