The weekend was nice. It snowed pretty heavy on Saturday morning so I didn't think it would be very reasonable to go for my walk. So, I jumped on my trampoline and did some other things to get a workout. I made Cimaron promise that he wouldn't come downstairs while I was working out... I have a phobia of people seeing me be out of shape. Ok, it probably isn't a phobia, I just get embarrassed when I'm breathing like a fat kid after 5 minutes of doing something anyone else would consider easy. Anywho. It was nice to get some type of workout but I can't count it toward my 300.... unless I add jump to my list. Is that legit? I'll hold off on adding it to my total until someone tells me it is.
Today's walk was annoying. The sidewalks aren't shoveled wide enough for the stroller so most of the time I walked on the street. If the sidewalk was wide enough for us to fit, the end of the street wasn't shoveled so it was difficult to get out. I'm sick of the snow. I'm usually one who doesn't complain. I like having an excuse to hide in layers of clothes. Maybe someday I won't need to hide anymore and Summer can be my new favorite time of year!
My total: 4.5/300
If I count jumping... 5.5/300

1% down...
Today was nothing special. I'm starting to think that I probably will only update weekly unless anything super weird happens on my wogs. Since I don't live in South Salt Lake anymore, I'm wondering if that will happen.
I did slip on some black ice... but caught my fall. I looked like the burglars on Home Alone. haha. I was hoping nobody saw but there was a guy stopped at a stop sign. I hope it made his day.
Anywho. 1.5 miles again. I was thinking it would be more like 2 but it wasn't.
That means I'm at 3/300.
I've thought about setting a route before I leave home but I like the randomness and not knowing how far I've gone. It seems easier to just think "to the corner" instead of "to the corner will be one mile, then I still have 1 to go! Shiz!" (lets be honest, I have a potty brain and as hard as I try not to, I think the real thing ESPECIALLY when I'm working out.)

1.5/300
Today I walked/jogged 1.5 of the 300 miles. It's almost laughable to think how many more I have to go but I'm determined to do it.
On my walk, I listened to some old music on my ipod shuffle that I haven't listened to in years. It was nice to hear those songs and think about who I was when I uploaded them. One of them was "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse. I thought it was kind of weird that she sang about people telling her to go to rehab and how she was fine and then she ended up overdosing on drugs. Silly Amy.
Other things that happened?? I waved to two old guys as they drove by and tried to go as fast as I could as I walked through the apartment complex.
The only thing that saw my butt jiggle up close was a dog off it's leash that decided to sniff me. YIKES! (for the dog).
Ella seemed to enjoy the ride. She was a little angel... no complaints there. Until next time....

300 Miles
I gained about 50 pounds when I was pregnant with Ella. Yeah. That's what I thought. 8 of it was her, and a lot of it was water weight, and the rest of it came off by nursing. I'm back to what I was before I got pregnant but I DEFINITELY don't have my body back. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin again. Anyway, I think about the way I look too much and it's about time I do something about it. I've thought about so many different ways I could do it...
-weight watchers
-fitness pal
-starving myself... hahaha me... starving. I love cookies too much to do this.
Then BAM it hit me. Exercise. Exercise? Me? Yes. It's happening people. The girl with the booty is putting on the tight pants and wogging around a neighborhood near you. I've always been self conscious about my butt jiggling when I run and I've finally decided that if it bugs anyone they can look away, and try to find someone's who doesn't bounce cause I bet their's does, too! In other words, I'm embracing it. And maybe if I embrace it like Beyonce does hers, it will become famous or something.
So what's the plan, Stan? (Sometimes my friends call me Stan. Ok, ok, they never do.)
I saw a group of Facebook that had a goal to reach 300 something miles by next year. This would mean walking, running, swimming at least 1 mile every day (except sunday) until 2014. Since they started in January and I only know two of them, I'm going to start by myself and blog about it. I'm going to post my experiences about my "adventures" here. Down to the old people waving as they drive by or the sketchy guy who hocks (spells) a loogie and throws his arms up at me like, "wanna go?"
So here it is.
{I, Carli Neugebauer, am going to run, walk, jog, wog, bike, rollerblade, or swim 300 miles by January 2014. }
Ugh. Is it just me or did anyone else get a knot in their stomach when they read that? I almost added drive in there but I guess that would be cheating.
Cimaron has encouraged me to use my blog to hold myself accountable before, and I said "but... nobody reads it." I'll be honest, that is part of the reason why I'm using it. Another, is that I don't want to post it on Facebook. I have 10 more friends on there... compared to 2 or 3 readers on here. I'll take the latter. So, blog readers, whoever you are, this is my goal. And if I don't do it you can comment on this in a year and say "so car, I see your butt bounces even more now" and I'll be like "yep.... AND my arms have taken on flapping!"
Butt really. This IS happening.

Ella's Blessing Day
Ella's blessing day was more stressful than I ever thought it would be. I am a worrier though.
In the end everything turned out to be fine. Ella was nice and quiet during her blessing and everyone got enough to eat. Most importantly, Cimaron gave her a beautiful blessing. Cimaron also blessed Ella's cousin Ambrose. It was a great day that we will never forget.
Here are some pictures from the day!

{Cim's tie is tucked in and Ella looks like she smelled a fart... I'll take it.}
{Smiling at Grandpa!}
{Silly Cim}
When we got home Ella was a little cranky. When we changed her diaper she was super happy. So we took her clothes off and let her hang out for a while. She looked so cute we had to take some pictures!!
