Weight loss challenge...what am I doing??

How to correctly weigh yourself?
I have put several new tickers on the site, they coincide with each other but represent very different aspects of my life. I am reapplying to residency (what's the point of having an M.D. and not practice?). I have two interview so far and hopefully 2008 will be a good year for the Utah Tate family ;). I decided also that this will be a great time to lose some weight. I have 4 months and 29 days until I find out if I have a job. Since I will be stressed out from that I might as well exercise and diet and lose some weight. I am hoping to lose 5 lbs a month for a total of 25 lbs by next March 20th. I started today with 15 minutes of elliptical workout. Since, I am technically since postpartum and post-surgery, I have to take it easy. But I really want to lose this 3-kid baby weight. I will have weekly updates for anyone who wants to join in or just keep me on the right track. I haven't told Jason yet, he gets a little overzealous when I start on anything new. I love the encouragement but he can be a little too encouraging especially when I want to treat myself. But we will make it and be successful on my trek to becoming 25 lbs lighter.

This is just one of the beautiful views we have in Tooele, Utah. It is so amazing seeing the mountains everyday. When I look at the mountains, I can only think God is amazing.

Waiting for Nicholas
Since we have been iin Utah, I have been waiting on my last child. One of the first rooms that was completed was Nic's room. I can't wait for his arrival and I can't believe how close we are to seeing his beautiful face.

Jason always looks so good in his uniform. It has been 9 years in and he still looks like a 2nd LT.

Nicholas is actually in this picture in a way, I am about 6 months pregnant. These pictures were to get a snapshot of our family before our last child was born.

Noah and Nathan enjoy some time with Daddy before he heads off to work.
