c25k I love you!

I have been following the c25k (couch to 5km run) for almost 8 months now and my running has improved dramatically. It has aided in my weightloss and brought my fitness level up. 3 months ago I couldn't even run more then 5 minutes straight without running out of breath. The longest I have done is 23 minutes straight.

It's an app that you download onto your phone and there is a voice that tells you when to start walking, running, cool down etc. It’s like your own personal trainer! When I started at the beginning it was intervals of say 90 running, 60 seconds walking. But now is 20 + minutes straight. Elliot has started running too, although he doesn't follow it strictly.

Highly recommended! Photo on the left was about  1.5 years ago and on the right taken a few days ago!

I have also started bootcamp with my gym. It runs for 8 weeks and I can go twice a week, Mondays and Fridays at 6am. Kaz is our trainer and really works us hard but I am loving it!

Sammy is 2 months!

S had his 2 month needles the other day and it was the hardest thing I have had to do! I had to hold his poor little legs down while they stuck the needles in him. The first one was bad and he cried but stopped pretty much straight away, but the second one OMG He screamed so loud and his face went bright red and he was so sad.... :( It took me 10 mins to soothe him. Im defiantely not looking forward to his 4 month needles. He is almost sleeping through the night now! Bedtime is between 7-730pm, and I follow the bath, bottle, bed routine. This has helped him realise bedtime is approaching and he starts to unwind! He will generally sleep until bet...

Mr Timmy came for a visit

Image
34 weeks 6 days Tim was up in QLD for his school rock-band tour and so we decided to meet up for dinner. It had been over a year since we had seen him last. We went to the Glen Hotel and had a nice dinner. A few hours before we had left Samuel fell face first into gravel in the front yard. Poor lil thing was all scratched up. But he was really well behaved considering it was late at night when he's usually fast asleep. Here are some pics:

Merry Christmas Everyone

Just a quick blog post for our Christmas Day at the Johnson Household. We spent the day at home just chilling. The boys opened their presents when they woke up. They got a mountain bike each and a few other bits and pieces and Elijah opened his pressie as well. We had mum over for lunch. It was a nice day :)
