Lane's Big Fat Diet

So this is officially my first blog post.  This month marks our 2 year anniversary and in that short amount of time I have manged to gain a little over 30lbs.  When we first got married I was just under 200lbs and as of last Sunday I was a solid 230lbs.  So I bought this home gym last weekend and am determined to get back under 200 and hopefully be a little healthier.  As motivation I thought I'd post my progress and pictures so I'd feel accountable to someone besides Jannica and myself.  My sister-in-law has been on a diet for about 3 months and has lost about 40lbs so I hope to use that as some motivation as well.  Lucky for me Jannica loves me no matter what I look like, but I think she's ok with me wanting to get in better shape.

Tobie Quayd & his buddy: "Uncle Yane"

I have noticed a special little bond between Lane and his nephew, Tobie. Lane goes next door each morning to see if Tobie wants to go to the mail box with him: Tobie hops on his shoulders and they make a 2min trip to check the mail. Tobie has been escaping lately from his house, coming and knocking on our door asking if Lane's home. He's always asking where Lane is; "What's Yane doin'?" When I go over there he wants to call Lane and ask "Yane, you comin my house?" First thing Lane wants to do in the morning is to go see if the kids are awake. It's pretty stinkin cute, so I've been taking some random pictures of the two...Love them!

The Exercise Bike

I have been missing the cycling classes at BYUI because I really got in shape and toned with those. I'm not much of a runner, so Lane bought me this exercise bike (I assembled it :)) I am very excited to get in shape and toned again!

My Best Friend's Wedding

Jenna Lee Bates & I have been friends since the 8th grade. When I moved to Rocklin, she was the first one to befriend me, and we went through high school and most of college together. We have done so much going to shows, dances, played on soccer teams, EFY, parties...

And now we're both married!

She married her high school sweetheart, Scott Haycock

So I was able to go home for a weekend and be part of their beautiful wedding, and spend a short but great time with my family! Congratulations Jenna & Scott!

Easter 2010

I don't have the Easter Egg hunt pictures on my camera, but here is the night before when we dyed eggs with Faith & Tobie. Tobie accidentally cracked one of his open, and it is the most adorable picture ever! Sunday we watched conference and went up to Lane's parents for brunch, egg hunts, and later for dinner with more of the family. Between the 2 of us we made about $50 with our findings! We're rich!

March'10 stuff

I have this Mexican friend that I work with...Well one day she was asking me if I knew how to make enchiladas. I told her yes and she got excited and asked how I make them. Well I proceeded to tell her that I use enchilada sauce in the can, tortillas, meat and cheese. She gasped and told me I did it wrong. She insisted that she teach me how to make REAL authentic enchiladas; so she took me shopping for the real stuff and made real authentic enchiladas!

Lane has been playing on a city league basketball team with some of his buddies. He enjoys it (especially being "the lead scorer in the league")....He doesn't brag or anything.

We don't usually do much on weekends because everything costs money...Well we decided since the MONSTER TRUCKS were in town, might as well go! It was pretty fun. Even though we didn't see much for him I rooted for "California Kid"...duh, because I'm a Cali girl!

We decided to go big..the next night we went miniature golfing in Levenworth with Blake and the kids. Tobie doesn't really have the attention-span yet I guess for 18 little holes. He had more fun jumping in the gutters, putting his club in the little houses, and running on other group's holes.

Our obsession:

EZ's has a deal to eat after 8pm for $2.88. This includes their deluxe burger, fresh fries, a 32oz soda and some of their delicious EZ sauce. And by deluxe I mean a pretty good size, fresh burger with pickles, lettuce, yummy sauce, and onions, with a toasted bun. SOOO good. We have averaged about 2-3 times a week. Delicious--but disgusting that we've eaten it so much. However, it's cheaper than going to buy ingredients to make a meal!
