It was a good week. The weather was fabulous and I got alot of walking in. It was my second time working with a personal trainer. Now, I am sure there are alot of things you can think about when you hear the word personal trainer. Let me see! Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper! I am not quite there yet! It was nice because the first time we sat down and talked about what my goals, etc were. My main goal is to build up my core muscles to give me the strength to do more. With 3 surgeries and having my stomach opened up each time, I am not sure how much muscle was cut into. I would be lying if I didn't want to lose 10 pounds, but right now if I can maintain and not gain while I build up my core muscles, I will be happy! The weight I have gained did not go where I wanted it to! Ha! So I am not real happy with my body right now.

Easter was nice. We went to mass, where the music was beautiful, and then to the Pines for lunch. I ate mostly veggies since I weigh in tomorrow! So we will see! We went for a walk around the neighborhood and ran into several people who we stopped and talked to. This is why we don't walk around the neighborhood! There is a young lady doing a paper on Down syndrome and wanted to know if we had any reference books. Of course we do! So we dropped those off at their house too.

Yesterday we had Claire's pictures taken. We had originally cancelled because it had rained in the a.m. and we figured the grass outside would be wet and we knew the Forestry would be muddy. But we ended up taking some here at home, inside and out. It was fun! Claire was worn out afterwards. We are going to get family photos taken at the forestry when the weather gets nicer.

I was hoping for a week without appts or meetings, but not so lucky. I go get my teeth cleaned Tuesday which is fine. Just nice to have to not plan on those things. I think I had enough of them last year!

Blessings!
