weight loss now, exercise later

My husband is an exercise fanatic. He gets up early every morning and hits the gym. He is so good about it and I have seen the results, he's really looking good. He tells me I would feel better if I could put exercise into my day. I have a 5 month old and a 2 year old, so I am pretty active. I gained 25 pounds with my last pregnancy and have lost 27 pounds. I am on the best weight loss plan there is, it's called nursing. When I nurse a kid I drop 8 pounds below my normal weight! It's total genetics, but I'll take it, since it won't last long! After I stop nursing I'll be hitting the tredmill!

Day trip

We took several day trips this summer, but by far my favorite trip was to Half Moon Bay to see Mavericks. Jonathan got the best pictures of me with Annaliese. Annaliese seldom smiles in photos, but a passerby was cracking Annaliese up by doing a Donald Duck impression. We got the best photos and they are my favorite photos of the summer.

ipod music

Here are a few songs that are my favs on my ipod:

Flathead - The Fratelli's
Common People - Pulp
Human - The Killers
Mr. Brightside - The Killers
Pokerface - Lady Ga Ga
(Those always gets me dancing.)

(And for a nice mellow mix)
Overkill (instrumental) - Colin Hay
Lodestar - Sarah Harmer
Time after time - Everything but the girl
When I fall - Barenaked Ladies (The greatest band on the planet)
Either Way - Guster
Legends - Mychael Danna
Carry you home - James Blunt

This was such a fun spontaneous trip that Jonathan took us on. We were lounging around the house and it was already 11:00 when he said, "I know what we're going to do today!! Let's go to Half Moon Bay!! He convinced me to just quickly throw everything in the car, not worry about tiny details and just GO! We got there around 2pm. The reason he had a bug for Half Moon Bay was because he has been working on documentary about Jeff Clark. Jeff Clark is from Half Moon Bay and is the guy who discovered "Mavericks". Mavericks are these insanely huge waves that happen off the coast of an area in Half Moon Bay about 2 weeks out of the entire year. He named Mavericks after his dog Maverick. Anyway, he is the one behind the big surfing competion that takes place there every year. Since Jonathan has been working on this documentary, he has been to all these neat locations all around Half Moon Bay that he was dying to take me to! If you look in the photo you can see the location of Mavericks behind me. You'll see the edge of the land and beyond the cliff is where Mavericks takes place. We drove over there and went on a great trail that took us out there. This was by far my favorite day trip this summer!
