Garmin Forerunner 110

If you read my last post you are probably wondering how I know what my average heart rate was and how many calories burned, let me introduce you to.....The Garmin Forerunner 110!! I need to thank my Aunt JenJen because she is the one that really got me interested in it. She bought one and just told me how much she loved it. I need to thank my wonderful mother-in-law for the very sweet gift...the watch!!!! I LOVE it! I mean love it!

WHY?
*GPS: outside it will tell me how far I've gone, this is great!
*Heart Rate: when wearing the band, it will tell me what my hear rate is.
*Calories: When wearing the hear rate monitor it will tell me the number of calories I burned in that activity, I can use this inside or outside. When I am not wearing the monitor it will give me an estimate based on weight and age. Since I am trying to loose weight, this is a great tool. I used it for spinning the other day and in a 39 minute class I burned 279 calories!
*Pace: It will tell me what our pace is. During our 11 mile run, when I started walking and didn't think I would could make it any further, it told me that it would take me over 20 minutes to finish a mile, I DON'T THINK SO! I picked up my legs, made up for lost time and ran the whole next half mile!

I love this watch and it really helps me to see how I am improving on the runs. Since it saves the activities, I can look back and see if my pace is improving or getting worse! Highly recommended.

Thank you Nancy Barker!!

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si
