What I did this weekend...

On Saturday my hubby and I dropped the kids of at his Mom's and hit the road! Yep an over night hunting trip just the two of us! How romantic! Well not when your burried in your sleeping bag in a tent and it's only 20 degrees out! But boy was it nice to get out and hike, look for wild life and spend some quality time with my hubby!

We stopped to watch some does and spotted this old shed. Which we left behind because you are required to on CMR land.It was old, even had some moss growing on it. Super cool.

We hiked all over this crazy terrain. (Enough that I shouldn't have to exercise for a week) At one point I thought I was going to plummet to the bottom. It doens't look that  scary but the ground crumbles under your feet in certain places and sends you slipping!! EEK!

 I made it home with only a bruised tailbone. That was from an acrobatic move over a barbed wire fence that didn't turn out so well :) Thank fully there was no one there with a camera!

Workout Wednesday!

So I have this little problem whenever I get prego! I gain enough weight for 3 pregnancies all in one. Doesn't seem to matter what I do. I hiked, I walked, I lifted weights, I did yoga, I hunted. I killed my first buck 7 1/2 months prego. I only ate icecream twice a day and tried to limit my chocolate intake. And I only drank tea and water, seriously!

So 9 years ago with my daughter I gained 97 lbs...crying now. With my son I managed to keep just around 60lbs! The hard part about losing weight in the middle of almost nowhere it is it's friggin' cold here half the year. Who wants to get out of bed when its negative 30 degrees out! When we can't get above 0 during the day I dont even want to leave my office! I like to stay home on the couch and veg and that has nothing to do with eating vegetables.

Solution: I have a Pilates machine and an exercise bike in one of the extra rooms of my office! AND I am going to use them religiously. I am going to lose this 50lbs that has been plagueing me for the last 18 months...

It's been two years...

Two years ago I moved to this small town in eastern Montana. Since moving here….

v  I have caught my first catfish!

v  Shot my first buck! He was kind of a freak of nature...

v  Got pregnant and had a beautiful baby boy!

v  Got married to a wonderful guy!

v  And of course managed to get stuck in a snow drift in the truck (not my fault)

v  Getting my car stuck in the mud in front of a lot of people was my fault. Thankfully my husband and bro-in-law towed me out!

v  Then of course there is the snow blizzard! Driving my daughter to North Dakota for a dance competition did not turn out like we had wanted. We were only 20 minutes from home when we had to pull over along with everyone else on the road. Were we sat for 8 long hours..me my 9 year old daughter and my 8 week old baby! Thankfully I had cookies and juice and very well behaved and understanding children. I was definitely panicking though!!

More to come....
