Home Sweet Home

We got approved today for a home loan!! We have been dying to get out of the apartment life and the last few months it was just getting to be too much. So when we got back from Florida Kyle made an appointment with Ben Daulton at our bank in Rochester, filled out the application and here we are today with an approval. Took less than a week to do all that and now we can start looking for a home! A place to call home again; I've just never been able to make myself say that either of our apartments is really "home." I'm crazy excited though to actually get to be part of picking out a house this time!! When Kyle and I got together he had already bought the house in Rochester so I didn't have a say. Which is fine, it was great (sorta) :) But now I can decide what I like and what I want and don't want. Top priority though is a fenced in back yard. I'm so excited to be able to give that back to our puppies. They have handled being in an apartment just fine these last few years but it's not fair to them after they had a fenced in yard for the first several years of their lives! Anyway, we are so excited to start looking and find a place to call home! Next up is to find a realtor!

Day 1

Definitely wanted to die this morning. Definitely. It wasn't all that bad getting up at 5:00am, in large part because Kyle got up with me, but the workout was hellacious. I can't say that I wasn't expecting it to suck but I forgot how much the 1st day really really sucks. It was just a nightmare, I was almost laughing at myself the entire team thinking of all the shit I've been eating and the lack of motivation to do any type of physical activity since my last camp in November. This is what you get for eating shit and doing nothing Kira,. Pain. Jason says that it is great I'm in such bad shape because the results will be even more amazing, I'm not really feeling his enthusiasm just yet. They weighed, measured, poked, pinched and photographed me today for my starting point. Talk about being self conscious... Regardless of my whining today I know that the results will be well worth it in May when I am healthier and a lean mean fighting machine. Or something like that anyway. But for now my muscles are starting to tighten and I can feel the soreness creeping up so I'm headed to bed!

Slam Bam Transformation

starts tomorrow (2/15) and as much as I am mentally ready I am terrified of the ass kicking I will be getting. Especially this first week. Since I've not gone in 2 months it's going to be like starting over and by Wednesday I will be waddling and groaning with every step that I take. haha. Oh well it will be worth it in the end. I plan on trying to update as much as possible over the next 3.5 months while going through this boot camp challenge. There are 28 women and the 1st place prize is an all expenses paid cruise or trip for two. Sign me up. Anyway, stay tuned - get trim in 2010 starts now (well right after a few more of those sugar cookies). haha :)
