And this one, unlike some of the others over the past few months, I asked for...
The website SB Parent was doing a "get fit" contest... So, for kicks, I entered.
I figured hey, I need some kind of motivation to get to the gym these days (though I have lost all of the baby weight which is nice.) And what better way to force me to go do something exercise-related than by entering a contest...
I didn't think I'd "win." But, I filled out the entry form. Answered various questions. And listed the types of exercise I like to do...
And low and behold... This morning a woman from SB Parent called to tell me I'd won and would be given a free exercise program of my choice - so long as I wrote a blog and participated in the classes/exercise as best I could.
So... she read me various options I could choose...
I decided to do the most time-intensive... Why not, right?
It is the KUT program - intensive kick boxing for 9 WEEKS - 6 DAYS A WEEK - just not on Sunday...
http://kickboxers.com/kut.html (for the program description)
There are classes starting at 6 AM which are looking like the ones I'm going to have to take to fit in working in the mornings at the office and taking care of Cyanne.
As part of the prize - you have to write a blog about your experience, thoughts, progress, and success (hopefully) in the end. I will post the link to that blog once I figure out how I'm supposed to do it... So, not only do I get to have my ass kicked... but I get to write about it too! Perfect!
So... we shall how it goes! I am looking forward to the challenge. Now I just hope that I can keep it up along with everything else!
Will let you know how it goes... =)

Belated Christmas Posting
Here are a few shots from Christmas.
These first ones are photos of Cyanne on Christmas Day sporting her cute, Christmas outfit thanks to Nanna Blabey. =) She appears to really enjoy it. It was also the first time she'd ever worn a dress!
Tom & Cyanne over at the Secord's House during a pre-Christmas Dinner.
Cyanne as held by Nanny (her great grand-mother!) on Christmas Morning. As you can see, it's the same dress as above but will the bonnet still attached. The hat was vetoed later in the morning...
Tom trying out his Christmas present from my parents - A Ping G10 driver!! Look at the form... That's La Cumbre Country Club Golf Course he's aiming towards.
Tom & Cyanne post-church the Sunday before Christmas. We had to stop at this pull-out in Hope Ranch because Cyanne decided that she just couldn't wait until we got home to have some food. So instead of enduring a very un-fun 15 minute ride home, we pulled over, she had a snack, and then she and Dad took in the views of the golf course before we strapped her in and went home.
Our Christmas Tree!
Another one of Cyanne - this is the last time she got to wear this outfit that I loved... I'm proud to say she outgrew it and is now happily wearing 3 Mo. old clothing! Quite a sly look she's got going here...

Returning to Work
I have now (as of the 2nd) returned to work full-time.
For the most part, Tom & I have figured out a schedule that will hopefully be okay with both of our employers whereby I work in the mornings at the office and at home during the day and he does the opposite...
I have to say, it is quite hard to leave Cyanne after being with her every single day - all day. Wednesday was sad because I was gone for the longest period of time I'd ever been away from her (and the other side of that is that Tom was with her alone for the longest he'd ever been). I had been apart from her oh, 2-3 hours max... but not all day.
I was very eager to get home. =)... and see her little face and hold her. It's amazing how much I miss her during the day. Makes sense, I know... She and Tom were very content when I got home that evening...
I'm back at work all day today and will then start our self-made schedule next week.
I keep telling myself she doesn't really know that I'm gone during the day - but I do.
Three months of leave flew by. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that not only did I get three months off, but that those three months are now over, it's 2008, and I'm back at work. Incredible.
We shall see how it goes...
