Update

Hi there! I just wanted to give everyone an update on what is going on out here on the West Coast! From all the posts, you can see that we have been very busy. Not only was there Easter and the Puyallup Spring Fair, but we also visited the zoo again. We are trying to take advantage of any sunny days we can get.

Even though there have been cases of the swine flu in the state of Washington, it has not affected us in any way. I caught a common cold last week and I think Brad brought it home from his work because he was sick before me. I think Benny is finally getting it but I am not sure since he is still dealing with teething issues. I am feeling much better but not a hundred percent yet.

We joined our local YMCA last week. Benny really enjoys playing in the nursery there. I started a Twelve Week Class. In this class I meet with a trainer and we discuss my exercise goals and we map out a program tailored to meet those goals. Every time I go in to exercise, I have to log in and put in what I did that day (ex, treadmill , bike etc). I will then meet with the trainer every 3 weeks to see how the program is working and make any adjustments. The great part about it is that I can count working out at home as part of the program. My immediate goal is to do a cardio activity three times a week at least 30 minutes each time. Brad has gone once so far and really liked the variety of equipment and programs. We signed Benny up for swim lessons. These are parent/child lessons, so one of us will be in the water with him. If we get in, he will be starting May 18th and go until the 2nd week of June. We will keep you posted on that.
