Uncle Daron

We have had a fun, busy weekend. Daron has been interviewing for residency programs recently. This week he interviewed at 2 Havard programs in Boston and one at John Hopkins in Baltimore. Since he was close by he spent a few days at our house. We enjoyed having him here.

We didn't do anything too exciting although Saturday morning Daron (with Victor) took Erik to his gym class. Erik actually let Daron be the one to go into the gym with him (only one adult is allowed) so that was fun.

Sunday we went downtown and went to the Christmas train display at the National Botanical Gardens and the Air and Space Museum. Erik and Lainey were so fun to watch at the Botanical Gardens -- both were very excited by the trains and watched them with great intensity.

Here are some photos from our weekend...

Fit Fridays!

Well I have now completed 11 days of the p90X. 79 days to go. I can't say I have noticed a lot of changes yet -- hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks there will be some noticeable changes (more muscle definition).

Here is my 11 day review of the program:

Pros:
I really am enjoying incorporating weights and yoga into my workouts

Cons:
Not a lot of cardio -- there are 2 days of cardio each week, 3 of weights, 1 of yoga, and 1 of stretching. I am used to 6 days of intense cardio so this switch is hard for me to get used to. I have been still going to the gym for 30-40 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week because I can't give it up completely.

Location -- it is convenient to work out at home but since it is available to do at home I feel like I should squeeze it in whenever I can. That means I have been doing 20 minutes a few times a day instead of my normal 75 minute workout at the gym

Stats:
I didn't measure or take pictures this week but I am at 137.5 lbs today -- started at 139.5 on Day one. Goal is 135.

Not Far From the Apple Tree

Lainey may not look exactly like me but she sure has inherited my spunk. Lainey has become a really fun little baby. She is very animated and happy. She likes to play and giggles a lot. She can not crawl on all fours yet but she follows me everywhere doing the army crawl and a few yoga techniques.

The thing that reminds me of myself though is her great sense of right and wrong about things. If you don't think, a not quite 7 month old really has opinions check out this video.

Spunky Baby

I could blame this spunk on Victor but I don't think I would be fooling anyone.
