About a week ago Ryan and I embarked on toning our muscles by doing Trainer Bob Harper’s Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga DVD. It has been fun, and very hard! Seriously y’all, we break a sweat every time! I have done yoga on and off for the last 5 years and Trainer Bob is not lying when he says “…this is not regular yoga, this is weight loss yoga!”

 

In addition to workin’ it with Trainer Bob, Ryan and I kicked off Saturday morning hikes with Linden that we are going to do until the weather gets too cold. We hit up Roxborough State Park and enjoyed their gorgeous 3 mile intermediate trail early in the morning before the heat set in. Ryan was the real hiker, since he strapped Linden to himself with the baby/toddler carrier. All 3 of us had a blast…Linden kept babbling and saying “OOoooooh” and pointing to all of the vegetation around us, and would also start clapping when she got really excited – she is such a fun and sweet little girl!

Both yoga and our hike were a little more difficult for me than they should have been…I foolishly stopped running after my 10K race at the end of May, but I am slowly starting to get back in to my workout routine. I am leaning towards signing up for a local 5K race just to have something on the calendar to work towards…a little incentive

It is so hard to believe that August is almost over and that fall will be here soon! The fall is really my most favorite time of the year – beautiful trees, cooler weather, college football, cute jackets…

We are so excited that our friends from Florida, Kevin & Brittany, are flying to Denver over Labor Day weekend to hang out with us – it will be a blast to get to see them and take in some of that beautiful fall Colorado weather and activities that I enjoyed last year.

Ohh…in other news, Ryan and I are going to take our first vacation without Linden in mid-October. We are headed to Washington D.C. -whoo-hoo! We are flying my mom to Denver from Kansas to stay with Linden for 5 days while we are gone, so they will have some sweet Grandma (spoiling) time together. I know we will miss her a lot, but we are also looking forward to vacation just the 2 of us. Our little nephew should be entering the world about this time, too, making us Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kim – we can’t wait!
