Here is a little more about my new program.
Tomorrow I am going to do the week one workout, which is as follows:
***Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.***
I am trying to figure out if this would be better on a treadmill at the Y or if I should try running through the neighborhood. I really dislike treadmills because the time goes by so slowly... the good news about this is that people won't be looking and pointing at the girl who can't run, haha.
As far as eating goes, my problem is that I tend to eat one big meal a day. I need to make time and force myself to eat multiple small meals a day, and NO late night eating. That is clearly my weakness... getting off of work at 11 is absolutely no good.
So, here is my attempt at keeping myself honest with the blog world.
Breakfast: Uncrustable Sandwich
Lunch: Morning Star (pretend) Chicken Patty w/ whole wheat bread, and pineapple
Dinner: Salmon, Baked Potato, and side salad.
Oh, yes my other weakness is water. I tend to drink too much of the bad stuff, such as coffee. I really don't drink much soda anymore, but coffee has become my drink of choice. So, today I made sure to drink about 50 ounces of water. Hey, it is a start =).

Bad Blogging Kelly!
Well, we are back home from our DC trip and we had a blast!
We (Dustin, Coltan, and myself) went to DC to site see and meet up with some people I have been talking with online since I found out I was pregnant with Coltan. It was so fantastic finally meeting these families, they all have a special place in my heart. Thank you to all of you DC Pies for letting us come visit, you are all absolutely wonderful!
School is a bit busy this quarter, but I knew it would be since I am taking 3 classes. I did not know it would end up being this busy, but I keep reminding myself that in a short while I will be done with school and doing something I am very excited to do!
On a not-so-great note, Sally said something the other day which reminded me I totally dropped the ball on getting in shape and doing the half-marathon. Bad Kelly! So, I may not make a half marathon (by running it) but I am officially starting the C25K program. For those of you who are not familiar, this is the Couch to 5K program. Sounds like my type of plan!
So, this blog is going to assist in keeping me honest and on top of my game. I am going to force myself to post every day and be honest about my work-outs and all that a healthy lifestyle entails, haha.
Well, now that all that serious stuff is out of the way here are some (or a bunch) of pictures from this weekend:
Car ride home, Coltan and I were playing while Daddy was in the store.
These are all of the toddlers we were able to meet in DC. They are all such special and fabulous kids, their parents kick butt too!
Coltan may have a little crush on the adorable little girl, Eva. Yes, he went in for a little kiss =).
Coltan and Kalil:
PANDAS!! Yes we made it to the National Zoo, and I was thrilled to finally see Giant Pandas!
The best way to explain this is how Dustin said it... you know how there is the weird kid in class, well this is the weird Monkey at the zoo:
2 Orangutans kissing, how sweet:
I was shocked Coltan wore sunglasses, but he learned they really do help when the sun is incredibly bright.
Coltan and Dacia:
Coltan and Miss Jackie:
Coltan and Noah:
Coltan, Noah, and Titus:
The Metro rail in DC... I am definitely not a fan, but it is incredibly convenient.
WWII Memorial:
Lincoln.... and Coltan!
Coltan and the WWII Memorial:
I really loved these pictures that Dustin got of the Lincoln Memorial, so I had to share them:
Now that I have flooded you with pictures I hope everyone is having a great week, and I will be back tomorrow =).

The summer is flying by!
So we are all still here, still healthy, and still enjoying this busy summer!
In less than 2 weeks Dustin, Coltan, and myself will be traveling to Washington DC and I am so excited.
So far this summer we have..... just done normal things. School is back in session, which I am going full-time, so that keeps me busy. I have been trying to take the kids to the parks and do some fun things. Oh, last Friday we went to Red, White, and BOOM! That is our city's 4th of July celebration, and it was so much fun. I will post those pictures as soon as I get them, but here are a few pictures of our trip to Schiller Park. It was a really beautiful park so I can't wait to go back, hopefully on a day with a little more sun haha.
Here is Cory & of course he is wearing those boots. This same day I took him to try and find some new shoes he would love, since nothing is as cool as these boots, haha. We found some new crocs and he bought one of those pins to go in the shoe. The only way to make these Crocs cooler was to get him the Bumblebee (Transformer) pin for the Crocs.
Coltan & Nana:

Hope everyone had a fantastic 4th!!

Hello Tooth Fairy!
Ok, so here are some of the pictures I promised!
Please excuse his fruit punch face, I tried my best to get it off! If anyone knows a good way of getting those off of a kid's face, I would love to know. I tried water and then baby wipes.... oh kids!
And another of my handsome hamm! I still can't believe he has lost his first tooth!
And of course what post is complete without pictures of Bam Bam! This is when he first opened his kitchen/grocery kit. He could sit and pretend eat and make things for hours!
Gotta love these chubby cheeks!!
I think that is about it for me. I am at work to make up for our date night on Tuesday, so only a little bit longer and then I can go home!!
We are thinking of having a movie night, just trying to decide what movies to watch. I have never seen Star Wars, so that is a possibility. Or maybe we will watch Harry Potter.... or who knows! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

and just when I was doing well!
Sorry folks, I promise I am still here!! As soon as I was done working night shifts my life became all sorts of busy again.
What is new?
Well, the biggest news is Cory lost his first tooth! I have pictures and will post them very soon. It was a hard and very emotional time for me. At first I thought there MUST be something wrong because he is only 4, then after doing some research I found 4 is not necessarily uncommon. Then, I hit this emotional obstacle I needed to overcome. My first baby is not so much a baby anymore. He will forever be my baby, but he is growing up! Yikes, this is hard. My mom has warned me that it does not get easier, ever.
Coltan is doing great. He is growing so much. He is such a funny kid. He lives to entertain, haha. His new best friend is the grass, it figures that now he loves it!
The girls are also doing great. Summer is here, full force. I had so much fun doing their hair last week. I am not sure if anyone is familiar with "rags" but basically you cut up a towel and you can roll their hair up in these "rags" and in the morning it is curly sue for the hair, haha. They looked so adorable.
Dustin and I had a night out last night which was UHHHHHH-mazing! We haven't had a night out, like that, in far too long. We went to dinner down at the Arena District which was surprisingly good, I wish I could remember the name of the place haha. Then, it was off to the Offspring & Dropkick Murphys concert which was absolutely fantastic! Then we ran out of there and made it to the theatre for the midnight showing of the (new) Transformers movie, which was also magnificent! Then we made it back home around 3:00 am.... only 2 hours before Dustin would usually have to be at work, haha. Poor guy, but he was a trooper and I think he also had a fun night. Of course he did, what am I saying!!
Well, just a little family update. I hope everyone is having a great week!

Late nights mean way too much thinking.
My LAST NIGHT working audit, at least for the time being. YAY!! I love the peace and quiet but working this late shift has really messed my whole entire life schedule. Tomorrow will be a rough day, but then Wednesday morning we are back to normal!
I received my Biggest Loser books today and I am hooked. The books are just as good as the show except they explain everything a little bit more, which is perfect. I am ready for my schedule to get back to normal so my life can resume as normal again, and then I can start this program. I am going to try and get my family in on a competition too, Lord knows it is so much easier to keep motivated when it is a competition.
Well, I need to finish our 3 week menu and finish all my stuff up here at work. Only 55 minutes left. I can't wait to hit the bed!!!

Blast from the past!
My lovely parents sent me these pictures, which I thought I would share with you all.
This is my father... the face says it all. (Love you Dad, you are awesome!)
This is my gorgeous mother, the best a girl could ask for.
The first Hagerdorn Family photo circa 1983 or early 1984.
My dad holding me at Niagra Falls!
Look at my cheeks!! That is my beautiful grandmother holding me!
Of course I had to post this! This is me, in avaitors, hanging on the training potty... lovely, I know =).
I hope you guys enjoyed my blast from the past, they are so fun to look at. I wish I could say I remember these days, but obviously I don't, but it is fun to reminisce!
