May2
My parents were here last week. In that short week, we found, put an offer on and are under contract for a house for them, found my mom a job at Penrose Hospital, and my dad started the process of diaconate training in the Colorado Springs diocese. They have the closing scheduled for May 26, and they will be here with a UHaul by June 1. Whew!
Meanwhile, I’m coordinating everything here…house inspection yesterday – all other pre-closing stuff, including liason between mortgage broker and buying agent (John Hauber of Hauber Realty).
I AM SO EXCITED THAT MY PARENTS ARE MOVING TO COLORADO SPRINGS!!!
I’ve got no shortage of website work with my current clientele. 
And the Take 5 in the Garden run is this weekend. 
Zander is potty trained for peeing during the day. Not so much for poop. Zevan has been going on the potty on his own. It’s pretty cool. I need to make more effort to capitalize on this, but I haven’t found the time yet. Zevan is talking up a storm. Full sentences all the time. With his cute little voice. I find myself wanting to just hang on to the last vestiges of his babyhood right now. It’s all happening too fast.

Okay! I’m back on BalanceLog. I ran the course yesterday and went climbing in the evening. By watching my calories throughout the day, I was able to eat a slice of pie after dinner and still stay within my calorie budget (thanks to two workouts).
I’ve had my 500 calories this morning, and trying to figure out how to start my weight training. I guess I’ll just pick up those dumbbells and use my exercise ball as a weight bench – just to add some core training while lifting.
Here’s some exercises I found on www.selfmag.com that I am going to try:

I’m back on BalanceLog. I need to STAY on it.
Oh, and I will go and drink a full glass of water when I’m done typing this!
I’m rethinking my weight goal, too. While I was able to get down to 125 last year, it was a struggle and it wasn’t long before I was back over 130. So, it may not sound like a big change, but my hope is to get to 129 and stay there. I was 122 when I met Doug in 1992. I was 124 when I was body building. I think I’m asking a lot to get back down there after all the changes my body has been through.
