Just starting...

So I've decided that it is time to start a blog for our family. We have a family website at nielsonfam.org, but I hate the advertisements on it! This month for Valentine's Day I bought a gym membership for Nick and me and made a promise to Nick that I'd lose 70 lbs. by September. I made the promise to Nick because it seems if I just say I'm going to do it, I don't. But if I promise him something, I keep my word. Nick's goal is to lose 26 lbs. by September. So far I've lost 7 and Nick has lost 6 lbs. Last night we worked out on the treadmill and my heel started bleeding and my knees aren't feeling so great. I think I'm going to stick to the elliptical trainers...I hope to start taking some classes too. Andrew loves playing with the kids in the daycare center and then after we're done we take him to the "edutainment center." He loves it! Madelyn just sleeps most of the time we're there. I love schedules!!!!
