Goals

Hey, thought I'd show you guys the cupcakes we made for Sam to take to his missions friends class Weds. night in honor of his Bday. I remember having these cone cupcakes at my 4th grade Christmas party. I've never tried making them, but it was easy and turned out pretty cute! All the kids thought they were real ice cream and licked them! You set the cones in a mini muffin pan and fill them with batter about 3/4 of the way full and bake them as the cake mix directs. They taste really good too!




On a completely opposite subject, I have had a strong desire to start exercising lately. So, today I decided to go buy some workout clothes.(I can use any reason to shop!)

I have gain about 55 pounds since me and Doug got married. (10 years ago August 5)
I have had 4 babies in the past 5.5 years. I have been pregnant or breastfeeding for the past 6.5 years straight and still have a year or so of nursing to go.
I want to be a good example for my girls and for them to be proud of me and not embarrassed. I would love to go shopping and enjoy trying on jeans!! ( Sorry if I sound like a frustrated fat girl{maybe I am!!!!})
So, when the boys start school in a few weeks I'm going to try to start by walking every morning. Either before they get up or take the girls in the stroller after they go to school.
I played softball in college and we had a gruelling workout schedule. During that time I said I'd never exercise again. I would love to have my coach screaming at me again if I could be in that kind of shape again!
Anyway, I'm telling you all of this so maybe I can be accountable to you on this blog. If I go awhile without mentioning anything about weight or exercise, please ask me how it's going!
