Fit 2 the Core

My friend Emily and I have been working out at Fit 2 the Core for a few months now. We've been going an average of three times a week for an hour's worth of circuit training. In the past couple weeks we've found our niche at 5am (yes, I'm actually up AND working out then....). Emily's been having great success; every time she's on the scale she's down something and you can totally see her body changing. It's been great to see her go, but.... I can't tell a difference at all. I'm actually up 5 pounds and everyone keeps telling me that "muscle weighs more than fat" and while I can feel the muscle, I also don't feel any different and I was really starting to get discouraged. Well, today we went and had our measurements taken and it was GREAT!!! I've lost four inches in my waist and three in my hips and about a 1/2 inch from my neck, arm, thigh and calf. WOO HOO it's finally paying off!!!

Ghana Make a Long Flight...

We just booked our airfare to Ghana!!!! We leave early morning on the 7th and return the afternoon of the 17th. We will need to make two trips (at least I will, Dallan will be in Texas for the Air Force) so Grace won't be coming home this time but the days are limited and we're almost there! We will get to have her with us the entire time we are there so just 9 days to go until we are holding our daughter for the very first time!

Goodbye US, Hello Ghana

Dallan and I will be leaving on May 9th to spend the first of two trips in Ghana. We are FINALLY meeting our daughter!!!! It's been a surreal situation and after 5 years of trying it seems so crazy to just board a plane and have her in our arms. We couldn't be happier or more overwhelmed. Anyways, more details to come soon but if all goes well Grace will be home around mid June!
