Welcome to my blog. I'm Robyn. I was born in October '74 (so I don't have to keep upping my age every year.) I'm married to Kris, my military guy that married me, a pagan hippie. I have 4 children, 3 living, I work fulltime as an IT business analyst (aka - computer dork) and I have worked very hard to get out from under obesity. This blog was originally about the weight loss journey, however now it is about my life. After having lost my 2nd child, Anily, during her full term delivery after a perfectly normal pregnancy, I got involved in a group called "Missing Grace". That is a group that helps people through pregnancy and infant loss, infertility, and adoption. Through this group I found an agency that helped me to DO SOMETHING about all the infertility I saw around me every day. I am in the beginning of a surrogacy journey in which I will be the gestational carrier. I've never done this before so I have to admit I don't know all of what I'm about to take on. I guess we'll find out. In the meantime, I'll blog about my life. My stillbirth, parenting, weightloss, maintaining, working, surrogacy, whatever else happens, life.

Lose 30 pounds in 48 hours!

Weight: 161 

Imagine being able to look 30 pounds thinner overnight. Now you can! Well, in 48 hours as the advertisement says, anyway. This site: www.weightview.com let's you send them a picture of yourself and in 48 hours they will send it back with you looking however much thinner you told them to make you. WHOO HOO! LOL! Imagine, no, sorry, I can't make it to the reunion, but here is a picture of me for you to post! OK, this is free so I won't pick on them for the service. If they charged, I would, because what I've seen so far doesn't look like they did a good enough job for my nit-pickiness. I can see the value though, in inspiration to lose some of that weight. I've set up a little test. I sent in my swim-suit picture from when I was 205 pounds. You know, that series of every 10 pounds in the same outfit? In 48 hours, in theory, they will send me what I would look like at 175 pounds. (I told them to take 30 pounds off.) Then I can post the before and their after next to the REAL after and we can all see what we think. I'm predicting based on what I've seen them do so far that they will do a good job on my midsection and a bad job on my face and my limbs.

The results are posted from my Eagan Fun Run. Turns out I officially got 20:05 on the 2 mile and 54:07 for the 5 mile run. Just go to here: http://www.ci.eagan.mn.us/live/page.asp?menu=4820 and scroll down for the 2 and 5 mile results. I'm #118 and #180. I just wanted to point out for the record that on the 2-mile run I managed to tie if not outright pass #117 at the finish line but seeing as we were so close I didn't make a big deal about getting in front of her for the walk to the person to hand in our names. There is no way we were a whole second apart and if we were, I wasn't the one with the slower number. Because, ya know, that one second is totally a big deal and really matters in the grand scheme of things. Can't I just be the biggest brat sometimes?

The kids and I are trying to come up with a good time for a garage sale this summer. I've got tons of clothes to sell for me and the kids. Gavin thinks he is going to set up shop as a Yu-Gi-Oh card salesperson. He also wants to sell apples and pears and drinks. I'm thinking I can put our big plastic backyard swingset thing out and maybe get someone in the area to take it. What do you think? When's the best garage sale time?

Good job with the runs!  That'll be interesting to see your little experiment with the pictures.  And good luck with the garage sale.  You should see if your city is doing a city-wide garage sale (or neighborhood) - that would probably be the best weekend for getting a lot of traffic.  Otherwise I'd say any weekend that isn't a holiday should be good.
