Turkey Trot 10K

On Thanksgiving Morning Becky and I ran the Turkey Trot, I was so happy she was here cause I am pretty sure I wouldn't have done it without her. We did the 10K which is just over 6 miles, yeah before this the furthest I had ran was around 2.5 miles. I think time doesn't matter the important part is that I finished ;)

I decided that I have no desire to do a half marathon, I use to before this race but not now. I am good with 10k's.

Our Futon

Many of you who know us know our Futon, haha that is the only piece of furniture Dusty brought into the relationship. Dusty bought the futon in 2001 right before we got married when he moved into his first apartment in Arizona. His apartment complex was called Colores Del Sol off of Mesa Dr and McKellips.

Well yesterday we said goodbye to the futon, it has done a good job over the 9+ years that we have owned it. The people that ended up buying it asked if it could be delivered, it was one less thing that we had to find room for so we said yes. Well when I called the people to get directions they gave me the address, I asked them what the apartment complex was called cause the address was all to familiar. They lived in Colores Del Sol.

Needless to say, we are very pleased that the futon found its way back home to Colores Del Sol.

Learnin' the Two step!

Our friends Kim and Mike are getting married in 20 days. They thought it would be fun if a group of us took a dancing class to learn the two step so we can show off our dancing skills at their wedding. So yesterday afternoon 9 of us went down and learning how to dance.

It was a lot of fun, not sure I could dance it again but maybe once I hear the music it will all come back to me. Here is some video footage I got, I had to sit out at the end because I was getting to dizzy.

the first video is Dusty and Jen, I kept telling him that he was leading me wrong and now I have the video to prove it...He cracks me up!

ZUMBA

Zumba: A fusion of Latin and International music, this class combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations that are not only fun, but easy to do.

Yeah...I am not sure I believe that class description of Zumba, well mostly the EASY TO DO PART. Yesterday I tried my first Zumba class, I have so many friends who go on and on about how awesome it is. Well DUH...I don't think I burned off the calories that I gained from the piece of gum I was chewing. Well it could have been that I spent half the class standing there because I had no idea what was going on, that must have been it, because everyone else in there seemed to be breaking a sweat. I'm still trying to decide if I will be returning to a Zumba class. I just think that if I am spending an hour at the gym I better be breaking a sweat, and I am just not sure I have the patience's to keep trying to get my sweat on!

Park Day

Yesterday we decided to take the dog to the park. We must be bad dog parents because after having Cortez for almost 5 years we have never taken him to a park. For good reason though, he hates other dogs and doesn't care for a lot of people. So we decided to just take him to the park by our house and let him run free without his leash. Once we got there and took his leash off we soon found out that we had a lame and lazy dog. All he did was sit there and eat the grass and lay on the picnic blanket.

We even had a Frisbee and a ball that we were throwing back and forth but no he wanted nothing to do with that. What have we taught our dog in the 5 years that we have owned him? To sit and eat? It was a sad moment for Dusty and I. I think we are going to be better dog parents and make sure our dog is active. I didn't take any pictures, well mostly because I was embarrassed that all my dog was doing was eating or laying down.

HCG

Well I started the HCG diet! and I am very excited about it! Since January I have been working my butt off at the gym and have toned up but the scale still read the same. In August I started "The Butt Book", and with that a diet. I lost about 8lbs and then once my body got use to eating good it decided that it didn't want to lose any more weight.

I had heard a lot about the HCG diet, I have had several friends who stuck to it have lasting results and look great. After I researched it for a while I decided it would be a good idea to try it. And if it doesn't work, I guess my body is just meant to be this size. Almost done with week one of a three week process, and I am happy so far with the results.

I'll keep you posted, wish me luck!

HALLOWEEN at the Hunter's

This year we had a Halloween party at our house, and it was a blast. We made my mom's homemade chili and that took a few days and then Dusty decided to have chili cheese dogs which were delish!

Dusty ended up being Brett Michaels, he won this guitar that day at his company picnic and that helped him decide what to be, and I was a lady bug

Dusty's new guitar!

Jeannie, Aerial and Donna all sista's

Found Cortez a lady bug costume, so we were twins!
