Personal:

My sister rocks! And yeah, she set up this blog for me- you may know her as the Shuffling Sista!

A bit about me.... I'm pretty much a tree hugger! I try to be eco-friendly and do the 3 Rs and buy organic and fair trade. I'm an unschooling mama with 4 kiddos. My 2 youngest were born at home one was a water baby. I have a passion for homebirth and I apprenticed with a midwife in UT for a yr before I had my youngest. Someday I'll go back to be a midwife. I love photography and traveling. I'm married to a HOT dread head who's kinda starting to run too....baby steps!

I really need to get out and run, but it's really cold and windy, 13 and snowing off & on! I know some of you hard core UT people can run in this, but I'm too wimpy and Christi isn't close enough to make me go....HA HA!

I'm running a 5K on March 15 so I need to get my butt in gear! Tomorrow is supposed to be 42 and sunny and the rest of the wk it's supposed to warm up to 60! YEAH!

Welcome to the blog!! It is great to have a sister on the blog - mine is Andee. Good luck on preparing for you 5k.

From andee on Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 16:10:49

Welcome to the blog. Not only is the blog a good motivator, but it's great to keep in touch with sisters!

From Christi on Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 16:23:40

OK- now I can get there, but it wouldn't take me there from my blog- weird. Anyway! Go to "user options" to add your address, then it will show NC. Its it fun to have posts from other cool sistas on the blog- Jody & Andee? Another good sis team to look out for is Lybi & Laura. Didn't realize you were having such yucky weather there today! I'll be looking forward to reading your post tomorrow after it clears up(hee hee...)

From Kim on Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 16:47:12

You girls all make me a bit jealous! I don't have any sisters! Just four brothers. Brothers are good and all, but I do believe I am missing out on the sister thing! Anyway, welcome to Christi's sister. (I didn't catch your name.)

From sarah on Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 19:57:26

Welcome...I hope your find inspiration and friendship here...you'll love it.

Even though I woke up to about an inch of snow... (that's actually ALOT for here) it warmed up and I was able to run. I walked 1 mile and ran 1 mile. I was pretty happy about that cause I didn't stop to walk during my running mile. I need to up it tomorrow!

Thanks everyone for the welcome!!

From Bryce on Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 23:42:52

I know I am cool! I wish I had a cool picture like yours to add to it! UGH the chinese tasted good, but greasy. I need to try to eat better like my hubby....never thought I'd say that! HA!

From Lybi on Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 23:47:03

Bryce! Welcome to the blog! When I joined the blog a year ago, Christi was one of the 4 existing girls on the blog at the time. And now we are taking over! Mwah ha ha! Glad to have you on board. Any sista of the Shuffling Sista is a friend of mine.

From Christi on Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 23:59:31

What are you girls doing up blogging so late? hee hee... Bryce- did I ever tell you about the pic on my blog? That was a BOM skit, the kids made our costumes, it was funny. I had to try REALLY hard to keep a straight (reverent) face.. Bryce-you gotta check out Lybster's blog..its my favorite!! Lybi- can't wait to see you in April, have fun w/ the Del Sol crew and don't work too hard cleaning and cooking for everybody!

Walked today...I know I needed to run, but I was short on time and didn't want to go into work all nasty after a run. Although I did walk pretty fast and got a little sweaty anyway!

I got to sleep in today which was so nice seeing as I didn't get to bed til 3am. It was a super nasty day with pouring rain ALL day and tornado warnings. No workout.... I wish I had a gym pass. There is a really nice YMCA by me, but we can't get a membership til we sell our car or travel trailer ("it's not in the budget" as Dave Ramsey would say). Hopefully that will be soon!

I've been doing pretty good with eating mostly raw/ whole foods and I am feeling good, but I feel SUPER when I get a workout in too! Hopefully tomorrow if weather allows.

Hey! Fun to read your update today. Good job on the diet lately! Mom & Dad were here last night and we had a pretty healthy dinner, but ruined it w/ a big Costco choc. banana cream pie! You're doing good on exercise lately, even when you don't run you are walking or hiking, etc. I think you need to reg. for another race!

Finally a nice day! We've had TONS of rain!!! My hubby actually ran with me today. We ran pretty good and he was kicking my butt! He has never had any interest in running (or exercise!), but I think he might join me at a race or 2. FUN!

I'm not really sure how far I went today?? I lost track of how many laps, but I was out for a long time (well, long time for ME) so it might of been more like 3miles? I actually enjoyed running today! I pretty much always just think it's a painful think I do to torture myself, but today I started to like it!

I love beautiful days and great runs! I love it even better when they are together! Good job and happy training for the race with the hubby! Training with hubbys is a lot of fun!

From Christi on Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 19:42:44

Hey Sis! You've had an amazing week! Great job! Looks like you're enjoying running again? Have you & Dready picked a race yet?

I was kinda mad so I thought I'd run off some steam! I didn't have much time, but I ran fast! It was a rainy, yucky day, but I got my run in.

I just found out some of our UT friends are coming out next month and we are going to stay with them in their pimp beach house! Beach = Bathing suit.....YIKES! So it's MAJOR crunch time! I'm back to eating only raw and juicing plus running of course!

I really do love all the comments I get and I'm working on getting better at responding!

It was a pretty nice day. I felt good. I guess I need to get a watch so I can start tracking my time, but part of me likes not knowing....just running to run. Of course I always run the same loop so I know how far I go, I just don't keep track of the time.

I've lost 6 lbs in the past 2 wks!! Making progress!

Missing your miles from this week!

From Christi on Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 18:13:13

Where are you? I know you've been at least walking if not running- just no time to blog I suppose? Have a GREAT time at the beach!

From Christi on Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 12:05:54

I don't see your run on the beach blogged?

From Lybi on Fri, May 16, 2008 at 23:20:25

Hey Bryce, where'd you go? Still running? How am I going to get all kinds of great information about homeschooling if you stop blogging, eh? I just started homeschooling my oldest, and I'll be honest, I have NO idea what I'm doing! But I'm doing it anyway, and so far, so good.
