Where's Wendi?

It's been a long time since anybody has posted anything to our blog. What happened to Wendi? I've got a sneaking suspicion that she's got a crush on Harry Potter for as much has her nose has been in that book series lately...

The summer is going by way too quickly but we've been enjoying it as much as possible. Sadly we have yet to use our camper but we've enjoyed the weekends at home and finding time to relax and enjoy our back yard and do some gardening.

Wendi and I started the Abs Diet about 3.5 weeks ago and progress for me has been fantastic. I am down 12 pounds from the beginning and feeling much better. Having more energy at the end of the day has been really helpful for enjoying the summer.

We got serious about bicycling this summer and are all set up to travel across Marshall with pedal power. Wendi, Reed and Carter all got new wheels. Wendi went all out for an extremely comfortable Trek hybrid 7200, which is now on my wishlist. What a ride! Reed upgraded to a 20" schwinn dirt bike because he just couldn't keep up on the 16" sting-ray chopper. Carter got a unicycle of sorts. A trail-along bike that hooks to my seat post so he can help me pedal up the steep hills. I'm happy to not be pulling a trailer that feels like dead weight. If Carter would sit still I wouldn't even know he was back there. Aidan of course enjoys the back seat in the child carrier riding with Wendi. The fun part is when he decides to tickle mom!

I even started pedaling to work a few days a week which has been the only exercise I've added to go along with the new food plan. I suppose at some point I'll have to add a bit more or I'll plateau.

I hope everybody is having a wonderful summer. I started a new summer project that I'll post about in a couple weeks. The back yard is going to see some additional use...
