Tuesday, February 21, 2012. On my way home from work on Friday I got a text from Joe saying that Kara had pooped on the toilet and we were going to have a special dinner that night!

Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 2014: The Year of Kristin. I'm done with excuses from myself and others. I'm done with people and things that drag me down. I'm the only one that can control my attitude and outlook on life. I've learned that I can't rely on others for my own happiness. I'm done wasting time and energy on others that repeatedly bring me down. I need positive energy in my life. 2014 will be my year. The Year of Kristin. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Who would have ever thought! I was really proud of my accomplishments! I am back to feeling uncomfortable in my own s...

Our Little Family: April 2012
http://the-lien-family.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. Week 12: Proud of Myself. After taking a year off from running while pregnant, I completed my first 5k. Ran for 25 mins and 2 miles without a walk break - this is huge because on the Couch 2 5k plan I got stuck on the week that I had to run 20 mins straight. Not once during the race did I think - this sucks, why am I doing this, I hate running - I think this is my biggest accomplishment, cause I ALWAYS. Think those things while running.

Friday, June 22, 2012. A Little Bit Of Everything. Back in February when I started this whole life transformation, I had put weight loss goals on my calendar every 4 weeks. This Sunday I am coming up to week 21 and my goal for this week was to be down 42 pounds, I am not quite there, but I am at 38.4, pretty damn close! I am so glad that I am staying on track! Kara has recently told me that I have wiggly arms and has asked if I'm having another baby cause my tummy is so big. thanks kid! End of April 2012:.

Saturday, March 23, 2013. If you've come here to find updates on the girls, it's not happening in this post. This one's all about me, and there's lots of pictures. It's been a long time in between blog posts, but I've had a whirlwind of victories lately, so I decided it's time for a post! First up, I realized that I have lost 100 pounds since I first started trying to lose weight back in 2008! Next victory, I ran my first half marathon! My last few training runs were at an average pace of about 11:30/mil...

Our Little Family: Back At It...
http://the-lien-family.blogspot.com/2012/10/back-at-it.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2012. I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again - I NEED TO START BLOGGING MORE! Please say no so that I don't feel like such a horrible parent! Let's start with the girls - Kara has started going to preschool at Sonshine Preschool at Rose of Sharon Lutheran church. We are lucky enough that our daycare provider will drive Kara to and from preschool. If we didn't have that option, Kara wouldn't be going! Anyway, she is absolutely loving preschool and is learning so much!

Oh the power of social media! 2:45pm - 3 cm dilated and ready for my epidural! Getting the epidural hurt like hell - I don't rem...
