I am BACK! Wondering where I have been, well preggo! We now have a wonderful addition to our little family. I love her tons. I get into a different mindset when I am pregnant and no matter how healthy and active I want to be I end up inactive on the couch with a giant bag of chocolate in my hand. But I am back with some new goals and I am excited to get back out there.
Something about goal making gets me really pumped! I get all excited over the possibilities that lay ahead of me. I think of crossing the finish line in Ragnar, my first triathlon, or finally finishing a marathon. I really want to be down 150 lbs but I am going to focus on my fitness goals to get me there.
You all remember my day dedicated to my father last year? When he decides to he drops 100 lbs "just like that". Okay its more than "just like that" but you get the jest of it. He has issued a weight loss challenge to see if anyone can lose more than he can by January. We all weighed in 3 weeks ago. Yes, I got to weigh in 9 months fully Pregnant. I have a little bit of an upper hand. I weighed in at 341 lbs and yesterday I weighed in at 313 lbs. I am almost down 30 lbs, but that first months after you have a baby you drop a ton! Winner gets $1000, he thinks that no one can beat him so he is willing to pay $1000 to the one who can. So excited I have this extra motivation.
So my goals or Races that I would like to do this next year are...
October 12, 2013 the pink series Park City 5k
November 30, 2013 Santa Run 5k
December 31, 2013 Beat the New Year 5k
February 2014 She Runs Half Marathon St. George
May 17, 2014 Triathlon TriUtah Woman of Steel Triathlon
June 27-28 2014 Ragnar
August 23, 2014 Kiss me Dirty Salt Lake City
August 30, 2014 Layton/Syracuse Marathon
If anyone wants to do any of these with me you are welcome, friends help get you excited stay motivated! Plus I need teammates for Ragnar :)
These are my long term goals, my ultimate goal is to run a marathon. Last year I attempted to run a marathon but my pace was too slow they kicked me off the coarse at mile 17. I was devastated and I really want achieve this big goal.
Tomorrow I will talk about my nutrition goals.
around 220 pounds
Me one week before I met Ryan.

Day 10 Cameron & Day 11 Kaycee
Day 10 cameron
Today was for my brother Cameron, he is always so happy and loves life. I wish I could have a view on the world like Cameron. He has always been the greatest uncle to my girls and I love to watch him grow.
Him and his cute wife Kaycee have always been really good with Taylor and Taytum. I love that they love my children so much. Happy birthday Cameron, Thank you for inspiring me today. I love you!
Day 11 Kaycee
Kaycee is that real princess that my children adore. She is the most kind person I have ever met and it is nice to have that as an example for my girls. Kaycee, tomorrow is for you.
Kaycee is a strong health inspiration. She went through some medical issues where they needed to figure things out and change her diet around until they figured out what was wrong and she always did so well in cutting the things out she needed. I remember while they were trying no gluten, my parents house literally got rid of all gluten over night just for Kaycee. We all love you and glad you are in our lives Kaycee.
So to the Lytles (Cameron and Kaycee) :) Thanks for your inspiration and help in my weight loss journey. We miss you guys and hope Logan City is treating you well.

Day 9 Christa
Day 9 Is for Christa Lytle, it is so weird to say Lytle :). She was my first sister, she came into my life when I was a senior and she was a sophomore. I grew up with her older brother and knew just a little about her. I was really relentless to have another girl around ALL THE TIME. But I grew to love and respect her. My girls Love her so much. Taylor and Taytum always talk about Christa and how she took them to feed the ducks. They always remember time with their Aunt and Uncle.
Taytum with Christa
Christa is a very strong woman! Her and Dylan have a love that I have never seen. I hope everyone can find a love like theirs. She was very strong as Dylan was away and became a real health inspiration! She lost 20 pounds while Dylan was on his mission losing all of his weight. She really worked hard for all of it and it was an ispiration to watch.
She is always willing to help with my fitness goals and is always cheering me on and i really appreciate that and it really helps me. I love her like a real sister and i wish that we could bond more. I hope that I can be more like her and one day we can do more sisterly stuff and shop in the same stores. :)
Thank you Christa for your inspiration, love and support. I love you!
Tomorrow is the same goals 2 hours of cardio, 9000 steps, burn 3800 calories, consume 1800 calories.
XOXO

Day 8 Dylan
Day 8 Dylan
Dylan has always been my little big brother. He has always set an example to me as an older brother would do but he is my younger brother. If that makes any sense? I have always look to him for an example. He sets goals and he accomplishes them, simple as that!
Dylan is a wonderful inspiration when it comes to health. He has always been healthy and fit. He played football from peewee to high school. Once he stopped playing he realized that he needed something else to keep him fit. He made a packed to himself that on his mission he would not gain weight. In the MTC he had created the "Lytle Workout" and during his mission he lost quite a bit of weight and it was weird to see him so skinny once he returned. But running a marathon while serving the lord can do that to you.
He and one of his companions trained and created a coarse and ran a marathon during their transfer together. Once he got home we did a run together and ran the Ogden marathon together. (Long story short he finished I did not!) He really inspires me to reach all of my health and fitness goals. I hope to be the most like him in all that I do.
Tomorrow is for him, I will eat a healthy 1800 calories, do 2 hours of cardio, burn 3800 calories, and walk 9000 steps for him. Tomorrow is his birthday and it is a small gift to him to be healthy for him on his birthday. (Don't worry Dylan, I got you something else too.)
Love you Dylan, Happy Birthday

Day 7 Grandma Elaine Muir
Day 7 Grandma Elaine Muir
Day 7 is for my Grandma Muir, she passed away when I was 14 years old. She was the one who introduced me to sewing, something that I grew to love and cherish. She taught me to take care of myself and to take care of my home.
She called herself the mean grandma, which is my fault. When I was little, maybe 3, I was eating a cookie at her counter. I wanted to get down and play with my cookie, every time I did she would tell me to eat my cookie there. The last time she paddled my butt and I said "My nice grandma lives a long ways from here!" So from then on she was the mean grandma. But she was never that mean to me. I loved her dearly.
She was a brave woman who battled breast cancer and later past away of pneumonia after her body couldn't fight it any more. She was a huge part of my life, taught me many life lessons.
She would give me shopping points every time she came over and my room was clean and my bed was made. I think that is why I always have to have a nice presentation in my home. Because now she is always watching.
We went on a shopping trip every year for school, easter outfits, and my birthday. This was my favorite thing to do growing up. I was the only girl so I got one on one time with her and enjoyed every minute of it. Everytime I am shopping I think of her telling me "One day your going to be shopping without me and miss that I was here to hang up your clothes after you tried them on." I think of that every time I am trying on clothes. Except now there is not alot of clothes that fit me so hanging them up is not much of a chore.
Not anymore, next time I got shopping I will miss my grandma because there will be nothing I can't try on.
Tomorrow is for you grandma. My Fitness goals will be lower because it is the Sabath day and I take that as a day of rest so I will do just 1 hour of cardio, burn 2800 calories and walk the 9000 steps. Also I will eat healthy and eat my 1800 calories.
Thanks grandma for all my wonderful memories of you.

Day 6 Tyson
Day 6 Tyson
Tomorrow is for my older brother Tyson, words cannot express the love I have for my brothers. It is that love-tease relationship that I can't wrap my head around. I was always on the teasing end of the love-tease relationship but I have always known that they love me.
He has always been that protective older brother. When I would ask him to set me up with his friends he would say that they were not good enough for me(even if he was just sparing my feelings I always found that sweet). As we grew older we became closer and would stay up nights talking. But my favorite memory of Tyson was on Valentines Day during 8th grade.
We were on our way to school on Valentines morning and Tyson had told me "remember star". Leaving me so confused thinking wow what a wierdo I went to school. Now, in Junior High you could buy roses for someone and they would deliver it with a note on Valentines Day. I got four that day, one from my brother Tyson and three from my secret admirer. I felt so cool that day no one got that many, just me. After a couple hours of racking my brain I turned my cards over to see a star on the back of all four of them. Not only did he want me to feel special and needed that day but he wanted to make sure I wasn't confused about my so called secret admirer.
Tyson has always helped me with my fitness goals. He wants me to succeed, he was my personal trainer before I got pregnant and took me to the gym every day to help me with my goals then and thinking about him tomorrow will really help with my goal for tomorrow.
So tomorrow is the same burn 3800 calories, eat 1800 healthy calories, 9000 steps, 2 hours of cardio.
Love you Tyson I am and always will be so grateful that you are my big brother. Hopefully I can make that statement true and be your "little"r sister.

Day 5 Dad
Tomorrow is for my Dad. He is a huge inspiration to me, he always treats people in the best way possible. I do not think that he has ever had a bad thought about anyone. He has really taught me how to calmly deal with situations and I have always appreciated that.
He has lost 100 pounds this year and really inspired me to lose weight. He walks over 20 miles per week. I got to go on one of his 10 mile walks with him and I could barely keep up and was so sore that day and he didn't even feel it. He is amazing! I get excited to see him every week to see how far he has come. I wish that I was more like him in many ways and I hope as I embark on this journey I can use him as an example every day.
Tomorrow I will be working out for you dad. 2 hours of cardio, 9000 steps, and I will burn 3800 calories. I will also eat healthy all day and eat just my alotted 1800 calories. Love you Daddy!
