It comes with a bag so we might as well go ahead and get it.

Ok friends it has been a good week for me. I went home for Labor Day weekend because I simply could not miss the annual Ayres(that is my mom's fam) picnic and horsehoe tournament at my parents house. I mean this year we went all out with official trophies and a juniper jump for the little ones. You see in years past we have just given the winners old trophies around our house that we wanted to get rid of but this year they got official trophies. The juniper jump came about quite by accident. We went to wal-mart on sunday afternoon to pick up last minute items such as hot dog buns and sent my dad to look at the beach ball toy that you hook up to your hose and for the kiddos. It was $9. He calls us on my cell phone and asked if we would meet him in the clearance aisle and there it was a juniper jump on clearance. He said Rylan would really enjoy it and we would have him around for a while and it even came with a bag. My mom said it comes with a bag well we might as well get it. So now we are proud owners of a juniper jump and the beach ball. I had to leave the festivities before it ended however because I had professional development on Tuesday. The Tuesday workshop was pretty good and I heard several things I already do, that is always encouraging when you are doing something good. Wednesday the kiddos returned and it was a busy day starting with biggest loser weigh in. I lost....get ready....10 pounds. It was a little shocking but really exciting. I thought I had lost maybe 6 pounds and that my scales here at my house had to be wacky because it said I lost 10. Then I went to see Dr. T's PA Rob for my 3 month follow up on hip 2. Yes that is right it has been 3 months with hip 2 and 10 months with hip 1. I feel amazing. Dr. Rob said I could get rid of all hip precautions and do whatever I wanted. I was so excited. He said my x-rays looked excellent. Back to this feeling good thing. I have been walking on my treadmill almost everyday. You see my biggest loser made a team commitment to work out tuesday, thursday and friday but if you wanted to do more you could. I am currently up to 25 minutes, at the speed I walk that is about .6 of a mile. Last post I could only walk 11 minutes so I am doing really well and feeling extreme good too. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
