It's totally three more pounds gone. Woo-hoo!! I'm down to 37 total lost. Yippy!! And the quote is from Ghostbusters. Love that movie. I went to the Dr. today and my OB was super happy that I am losing weight and sticking to it. That makes me happy. Especially going there weighing under 190 pounds for the fist time. That was incredible feeling. She also noticed that my hair was a different color and different all together. She is awesome. I haven't seen her since October of 2010. I love her. We talked a lot about what I'm doing to loose and how it's going. When I told her how much I've lost her jaw dropped on the floor. Mine did too this morning. hehe!! Of course I had to tell her all about Sarah and how wonderful she is. I wish I had cards I could have left. Next time as Sarah said.
The boys got to spend time with two of their cousins and my parents house while I went. They had fun and Siko was super tired when I got back. he got to swim so he was in heaven. I just finished watching High School Musical. I love those movies. I'm such a dork I know but hey, that's what makes me me and fun. I think of my friend Thad who worked on I think two and three. He's living his dream in Cali. Rock on Thad!! Love you!! Thanks everyone for reading and encouraging me to keep pushing forward. None of you know how much it means to me. Enjoy your evening. I really want some ice cream. It might be a frogurt night.!! ;)

D 77...."It's so FLUFFY"
I had to quote Agnes from Despicable Me. We've been watching that a lot today. Like three times. hehe!! The boys love it right now. And if they're happy, I'm happier. hehe!! Do today was a good day even though DK had a very rough night. Adam slept on the couch again, but I don't think that helped him much. Unfortunately. So I didn't get up this morning like I should have but I got my workout in. I watched Ellen as I walked/ran. DK was napping so that made it much easier. I decided to try out Netflix for a while. Of course the reason I wanted to didn't matter after I couldn't find the movie we want to watch. Boo!! Hulu didn't have it either. So now we will have to do something else.
I am finally feeling tired. It's my bedtime. I have a busy day tomorrow. A weigh in, followed by cardio, followed by breakfast, followed by getting the boys up and ready and etc. I will have more details of course tomorrow. No need to bore you anymore tonight. I grilled my chicken today. Some of them got a little crispy since they weren't still a little frozen. I hate that. I had the families dinner ready before mine tonight. hehe!! And then the swampy had to come on because the oven made the house horrible. I hope you are enjoying nice weather in your neck of the woods. There were crazy storms on the East coast today. And some in the mid-west. I hope there were no tornadoes there today. Have a great night or day!! Depending on where you are in the world.

D 75&76...Spoiler Alert: Snape kills Trinity with Rosebud.
Holy moly!! Hopefully I can get on a somewhat normal schedule starting tomorrow. Yesterday we went to Spring City with my parents and two of my sisters and their families. It was a blast. I haven't been down there in years. It's such a great old city. My dad took us by the house our grandpa grew up in. The people living there haven't kept it up at all. My poor dad was heart broken. There is a beautiful vacant house behind it that I would love to buy though. hehe!! We also stopped in Moroni, which was founded by my great, great, great grandpa. George Washington Bradley is his name and he also helped settle Nephi City and Manti City. Awesome. I love learning about my heritage. Like how his wife wouldn't put up with Indians that wanted to rob her home but helped those who needed it. She would hire and pay some of the local Indians to help her around her house and land. Awesome. Then we got stuck in I-15 traffic but mostly because people are afraid to drive in the construction zones. You just drive slower people. You can do that. lol!!
Today I could not get up. I was so exhausted from the weekend that I fell asleep on the couch last night and didn't know how long I was asleep before I woke up. So ya, I wasn't going to get up this morning. But I got my resistance in and cardio so that rocks. I have been super ornery off and on the last few days. I wonder what's on it's way. Argh!! It's days like this I wish I could eat a ton of ice cream to help myself feel better...until I started to regret it. hehe!! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend filled with great memories.
Here's a link that goes with the title of my blog today:

D 73 & 74..They say you are what you eat, but I don't remember eating a sexy beast this morning!
Saturday was so busy. Got up, ate breakfast, did my cardio, ate my snack, showered, painted my toes, put makeup on, dressed, had lunch, got stuff ready for the afternoon and then it was off to the store to get flowers and other things. Then we went to Valley View Memorial to visit Travis, Annie, and Shawn. It was really hard to visit Annie and Shawn. The hurt is still so new. I couldn't stay long at Annie's grave. It was so sad. But it was good because of all the fun memories I have of all of them. Then it was off to Salon Mousse for my nail appointment. My mom was there finishing up her pedicure that I'm sure we gave for Mother's Day last year. hehe!! Oh well. It got used. It may have been for her birthday too. In that case it was only five months old. But I got my nails done and some hand me down Sarah clothes, so now I'll be fashionable. After that we went over to her house and we had so much fun eating yummy dinner, frogurt for dessert, and an awesome game of Settlers of Zarahemla and Sarah totally kicked butt.....again. Go Sarah!! Then it was home and to bed.
Oh I forgot. Sarah measured me before we ate. As of yesterday, in just over 10 weeks I've lost a combined total of 23", 2.8% body fat, and my BMI has gone down 5.5. So awesome. I've lost 6.5"in my hips alone. Awesome. It makes me so excited and proud of all the hard I've done. So thank you again for helping on my journey. Today hasn't been as busy. I had sharing time and it went really well. Our Primary kiddo's are so smart and cute even when they are rowdy. Then I did the dishes and ate and had a lovey visit from my visiting teacher's and then it was off to meet two of my sister and their families and my parents at the Holladay cemetery to visit my grandparents(my dads parents). It would be nice to some day get to go to Switzerland and visit my mom's parents grave. Someday. Someday. Right now I am watching Siko make paper ball baskets at my in laws while trying to stay awake. I hope everyone is having an amazing Sunday and Memorial Day weekend. Be safe, happy, and have fun. Tomorrow we are off to Spring City. More family to visit.

D 71 & 72....Happy Towel Day!!
I have been so busy this week that I was just exhausted last night and this morning. I didn't remember that I hadn't posted till this morning at like 2 and then the bouncer went off, that we need to sell, and scared the begeebies out of me. Dang DK. He likes to play with it and I don't always realize that he's turned it on and it has a motion censor. What made it go off I have no idea, but creep!! So yesterday started early with a weigh in. Two more pounds gone so that's a total of 34 pounds. I was hoping for 3 or 4 but I will take 2 any day. I was able to get some more laundry done as well. We had my little sisters daughters over last night. Well all but the baby. They ended up spending the night which was fun.
I was going to get up early and get my cardio in but I couldn't get out of bed. I finally had to force myself out to eat breakfast. After that I made homemade pancakes for the kids and they all enjoyed them but Siko. He wasn't feeling like pancakes. And I didn't even hide any veggies in them this time. hehe!! I got the house cleaned as well as getting in my resistance. Phew!! I've been a busy beaver. This weekend won't be any different with it being Memorial Day. Oh well. Time for my pedi. I can't wait. Have a great evening and night.

D 70...The only difference between Martyrdom and Suicide is press coverage.
I totally got to incline my treadmill this morning. I started of slow with 1% for 15 mins and then 2% for 23 mins. Ya, my butt and hammies are a little sore. It hurts to bend down and walk up the stairs. Yes!! I love that my treadmill is back. I hate all the splashing that's going on in the bathtub. Why is that I'm the only one that can do anything and am always the one who's fault it is all at the same freaking time? It's super aggravating and I hate it. Argh!! Is this really what love is??? I wonder!!!!!!
Me and the boys had a great visit with Annie, a friend in the ward, and two of her kids and also Lilly. It was fun and good to get away and have some grown up talk. The boys were pretty good. Tomorrow is the great weigh in. Wish me luck. I'm just tired and have had a enough today. Sorry. I hope everyone is having a better evening.

D 69....I stopped believing. Journey is going to be PISSED!!
When I got my treadmill I decide to get the Nordic Track Incline Trainer and we got it the end of 2009. About a year it ago it broke somehow and stopped inclining to the full 40% and all the other inclines were wrong so I have just been putting it to 0% incline. Well this morning after I got down it started inclining like normal when the key is out of it and guess what? It went all the way up to the 40% incline. I had to ask Ariel and Adam if I was going crazy. So I totally get to try out the incline for the first time in a year tomorrow. I also have to take my lappy downstairs because DK shoved something in the PS3 and we can't get it out. Argh!! Dang kids!! Why do they do stuff like that?
I need to get some lazy pants that fit. I'm struggling to keep pants up these days. I'm not complaining but holy cow. Some of my around the house shirts are getting big. Sqweeee!!! That could be the holes getting bigger too though. haha!! I got all my snacks and meals in today. I also got up early after a hard night of sleep and did my cardio and then got my resistance in. I also got my laundry done and the flower bed and park strip watered. I really deserve a pedicure some time this week. I do get my nails done Saturday. Woo-hoo!! Enjoy your evening and night.

D 68..Sharks aren't so bad. If someone came into my house wearing only a speedo, I'd attack him too!
I got up on time and did my cardio. I was going to do resistance today as well but some of my muscles were still sore from Friday's training session. So tomorrow I will have to do it. It'll be fun since Tuesdays are my super busy days. It was a hot day. I had to keep motivated to move but didn't want to so I could stay cool. But I was able to get a lot done. Still having munchies off on on. But nothing sounds good to munch on other than gum or an apple. I guess that's a good thing. I am tired. I'm trying to think of anything that was fascinating that happened today and I don't think there was. I just got done putting pink and blue color in Ariel's hair. We're watching Nightmare Before Christmas. It's distracting. hehe!! Siko finally fell asleep. He was up all day. No nap makes for a cranky boy so I'm glad he's asleep earlier than usual. Now it's Dk's turn. He's going through a spitting phase. It's gross. Any idea's on how to stop it? He'll grow out of it eventually but it's just taking too long. hehe!! Well sorry for a short and boring blog tonight. Sleep well and don't let the bed bugs bite!!

Day 67....The cake is a lie!!
Today progressed awesomely. Is that a word? It sounds awesomely!! The spell check like it too. Awesome!! I got my morning snack ready while making and eating my breakfast. I like it when I remember my snack for church. It's makes church longer not having it. And yes people look at me funny while i'm eating it, but I chalk that up to it being stinky since it's asparagus. What's with certain veggies just smelling bad, especially when cooked, but tasting so yummy? I need to write that one down on my list of questions for God when I see him next.
The eclipse was this evening and there wasn't supposed to be clouds and there was so we got to see the moon starting to pass in front of the sun and just as it was moving out of the way. So complete cloud cover for us during the total eclipse. Now I want to download that song on spotify. And the title of the song, if you have no clue as to what I am talking about is "Total Eclipse of the Heart". I'm pretty sure that's it. Love it. All versions of it. I did enjoy a few good game of croquet again and the in laws. I didn't win because my father in law totally kicks butt, but he only won one game. Adam won the other. I also enjoyed a low calorie, low carb Popsicle. It was super good. And the boys didn't even want a taste. Awesomely awesome!! Have a great night and watch out for mosquitoes.

Day 66...Holy sore muscles today!!
Oh ya baby. Thanks Jillian Michaels. Nothing like being sore after a good resistance training. Except for the fact that it hurt to clap at Ariel's recital. And I can barely move my arms. Awesomeness!! So last night we went to the drive in to see The Avengers. Oh my heck. It was so so good. I can't wait till the next Iron Man and Avengers comes out. And it was directed by one my favorite writers/creators/directors of Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, Joss Whedon. It was so fantastic. I got so revved up that it took for me to get into bed to feel sleepy. I did have some red vines and a few sour patch kids. See, I'm weak and eat the things I shouldn't but it's not the same. I don't eat as much as I used too. I can't explain it but it's just not the same. I crave it and want it but without the same satisfaction as before.
Today has been a good day and I still have a lot to do. Like go and make my snack and get on the treadmill and there's that pedicure I've dying to give myself. I better get off this lappy and get it done. Have a great rest of your Saturday and if you're in Utah, enjoy the weather.

Day 65...What was I going to say again???!!!
Holy cow, I've gotten a lot down today. Thank goodness. But now I'm ready for a nap. No nap for me. So I worked out with Jillian Michaels this morning. We did a Yoga Meltdown and it felt good. The last time I did her Yoga I was over 200 pounds. It was a big difference. If you're looking for a good hard workout, grab Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown. Holy cow. I'm hoping I won't be too sore tomorrow. After that I ate my snack and then it was treadmill time. I had to stop once to help Siko go potty so I took to running around in a circle while he went to keep my heart rate up. DK got a kick out of that and Siko has gotten into the habit of asking why and what are you doing. Garg!!
I need to get my chicken marinating and dinner going oh and those dishes. A women's work is never done. I had to re-vacuum again today. If you walked into my house you would never guess that I've spent the better part of the week cleaning it. Anyone feel my pain out there? Oh ya. You know what i'm talking about. It takes an hour or better to clean the top or bottom half and 30 seconds for my toddlers to destroy it. Awesome!! Have a great Friday and be safe. Thanks for being awesome and reading my blog!!

Day 64
Well I'm sure you can guess. I didn't get up this morning. Argh!! But I did loose 2 more pounds so I'm up to 32 pound gone and down to 193. I'm super excited to see those pounds gone. Since I didn't get up on time I worked out after lunch hoping DK would go to sleep again before I got on. No such luck. While I was on the treadmill I had cars, trucks, wooden balls, and what ever else they could find to throw at my feet from behind. Oh ya, that wooden ball felt lovely has it hit my calves. GGRR!! Thankfully they stopped before I tripped on a toy. They DK fell asleep just before I was done. hehe!! I did enjoy watching a part of Ellen today while on the treadmill. I don't get to watch her as much as I used to or would like. Which sucks because I love her and her show. I also got some watering done and am so thankful for the cooler weather and I'm hoping that the pending thunderstorm tonight won't keep me up and I'm excited for some rain. It'll be a nice weekend. I better get some weeding in. Have a great night all!!

Day 63
The big weigh in tomorrow. I'm excited but scared. I always feel like I've either gained weight or not lost any but somehow I always loose even if it's just one pound. I'll take that one pound over none, any day. I am out of veggies. Argh. So a trip to the store is on our plans tonight. It's super exciting. My day was good today. I still have those munchies and the feeling like I want to eat everything I see. I hate that. It doesn't happen as much and maybe I just need to eat more veggies. I also need new bras, but who's counting. I need a lot of things. Clothes, money, shoes, money, veggies, money.....
I also need to stop watching movies that make me cry while I'm on the treadmill. It's terrible. I suppose you may have already guessed it, but I'll tell you anyway. I finished The Lord of the Ring Trilogy today. Dang the ending of The Return of the King kills me and then the song that plays at the beginning of the credits with all the main actor's pictures, killer for me. I'm a such a boob. That has gotten worse since having DK. Oh well. It's who I am and I sort of like. Helps me realize I'm not just an ornery mom. I do have emotions out side of angry. Sometimes. Everyone enjoy your evening. It's off to the store for us we go. But no yellow brick road, in case you were wondering. lol!!
Day 62-busy, tired Tuesday
Oh my. After getting to bed late on Monday I did get up Tuesday to cardio. The day progressed with me being super tired all day and the very warm day didn't help. I did get the watering done in the morning, thank goodness. I had to find shade yesterday to sit in while Ariel was at dance. It's easier to stay and wait then to unpack, pack, and unpack the boys just for 45 mins. lol!! And most of the time they are asleep so it's perfect. Yesterday I just wanted to snack all say. I chewed a lot of gum to help that feeling. Maybe it was because I was so sleepy. But garg!! I hate those feelings and I wish they would stop. I guess I'm still me. hehe!! That's good.
I had a baby shower to go to and it was great. I got lots of compliments from the wonderful ladies in the ward so thank you so much for those. It's feels good to hear it, especially on days where I feel blah!! After I got home we played some PS3 and then it was bed time. Although, I didn't get to sleep till after midnight. I just couldn't get to sleep. BOO!! We'll see how the rest of the day goes.

Day 61
I am so looking forward to Thursday. I know that's my weigh in day but I'm excited to get to my half way mark. I'm also excited to go to Lagoon, if we get a chance, and see how many seats my butt fits in now. hehe!! It's sort of scary going on rides feeling like you're going to fall out because you don't feel like your butt fits or that the safety bar can't go down as far because of your pooch as I like to call mine. On the other hand will it be the total opposite feeling when I reach my goal weight? Instead of being too heavy I'll be too light? Yikes. I don't think I can win. hehe!! Oh well!! Can you tell I saw a Lagoon commercial while on the treadmill? lol!!
Today was a good day. I got a lot done along with a lot of late meals. Tomorrow I plan on getting more done. I hope. Tuesday's are super busy for me. I don't know how I survive them. A cute thing happened while I was stretching after the treadmill. Siko and DK were on the treadmill and Adam was pushing the belt so they went down it like a slide. The cute part was that DK was behind Siko holding on for dear life while saying hi and then bye to me and giggling at the same time. So cute. I just love precious moments like that. What I hate is the fact that my dang calves won't stop itching and they start now while I'm on the treadmill. I hope that ends soon. It's not as bad as it was so that's a good sign. I have found myself really wanting chocolate today. BADLY!!!!!! I get weird moments like every so often. It's hard not to just start eating a bar of chocolate and then finish it. hehe!! But I deal with it and let it pass. It eventually will. Sleep good all and have wonderful chocolate dreams. ;)

Days 59 and 60
I totally could have posted last night for yesterday but forgot what I needed to do before shutting down my lappy!! Lame!! But yesterday was a steady busy day. I got my cardio and resistance in before noon which was awesome but meant that we didn't go to the store till the afternoon. It was busy but not too busy. Just enough to slightly annoying. hehe!! We did forget things we needed. I hate that. If it's not on the freaking list it doesn't get bought. GGRR!! Now we'll have to go in the next few days to get what was left off. Ryan with OMG Landscaping, and family, came and fixed up our sprinkling system. He rocks so if you need a landscaper, I can hook you up with a great one.
Today is Mother's Day, so Happy Mommies day to all the mommies reading my blog. I hope you had a great day. I remembered my snack for church today so that was amazing. Today was a good day for me. The boys seemed pretty off and on ornery but other than good. We got to sit in a Skype with my sister and sister in law and baby Bea and I totally won a croquet game at Adam's parent's house. There truly is a first for everything. hehe!! We had yummy Salmon for dinner and I had "chocolate cake" in the form of an apple and string cheese for dessert. It's amazing that I can eat my snack while wanting something else and then finding that I don't want that something anymore. I hope everyone had a fun safe weekend. Have a great Monday tomorrow!!

Day 58-yesterday!!
Yesterday was super busy. I will start off with where Sarah and I went. She totally surprised me. It was awesome. She's awesome. As we were driving to Draper she asked, "So other than eating, what's my favorite thing to do?" My reply, "Shopping." She got all excited as she answered yes. So we went to Kohl's where she got me a new workout outfit and a nice shirt. It was so much fun. Then on the way back to her house we stopped and got frozen yogurt with fruit. It was yummy. So Sarah, thank you so much being such a sweetheart and such and amazing friend. I don't think I will be able to thank you enough for everything.
My day didn't start as early as I wanted it too but we had dumpsters for neighborhood clean up and we have a backyard that needs some cleaning and with the help of my dad, who is a work horse, and Kyle, Adam's youngest brother, and also my mom we got so much done. So thank you West Valley for the dumpsters. Adam and I got a little burned but nothing major and my butt is sore. I did get on the treadmill but not till after we went to Cyprus High School's Show Choir concert for their upcoming summer tour. It was awesome. They did such a great job. I wish I would have been more out going and more confident when it came to plays and trying out for Madrigals in High School. But the past is the past. Have a great day. I need to finally get mine started. Talk to you later!!

Day 57...Must read this one!!
So I got up earlier than I wanted but the bladder wouldn't wait any longer. I also planed on going back to bed after I weighed, but found myself unable too since I was wide awake after the scale said 195. Hooray!! I lost three pounds which means date night tonight with Sarah because I hit the 30 pound mark. Woo-hoo!! I am a little tired though. I started watching The Fellowship of the Ring extended version today. I love those movie's and my friend in New Zealand reminded me that The Hobbit will be out the end of this year. So excited!!\
Siko asked if he could go to Disneyland today. Boy I wish we could. That will be a trip for us to save up for to go in a few years when the boys are a little older. I just looked at the cat who is sleeping and I got jealous. hehe!! I hope I will be okay driving to Sarah's and back tonight. Oh boy!! I need to go put some makeup on. I have a reason to wear it. hehe!! I'll let ya'll know where we go for my 30 pound treat!! Have a great evening.

Day 56 and end of week 8
Two months down and I can't believe it. I'm almost in tears but that's probably crazy hormones talking. I can see the finish line, though just barely, but I can see it and can't wait to get there. Some days I just want to quit but I don't and I keep pushing on. Mostly because I don't want to be a failure with this. I have given up on so many things in my life and I don't want to add another to that list. Strength in numbers right, so keep helping me fight. I need all I can get and I thank all of you for that help. I noticed today that my "old" workout pants are nearly falling off. Holy Cow. It's exciting. I need to hold on to them for a while longer though. But they will be replaced shortly.
I'm a little afraid to step on the scale, but mostly because of the water weight that I have in excess of and not because of the cheeseburger I ate. Haha!! Just kidding. Don't text me Sarah. I didn't eat on of those. I would be puking instead of blogging. I haven't had fast food since March 10th. Well besides those to fries that wandered into my mouth a few weeks ago. Needless to say I will be getting on the scale because I'm curious. I can't wait to get to that 30 pound mark so I can look forward to the 50 pound mark, and so and so on. I have to pee.....again!! Have an amazing night.

Days 54 and 55....two days again!! Argh!!
I swear I am loosing hours in the day. I always feel like I have more time than I do. Why is that? Yesterday was an okay day. The boys were okay. My dang legs won't stop itching but thanks to my wonderful mother in law I have some essential oil that helps and smells like Christmas. That's because it's mostly peppermint. hehe!! Adam's youngest brother came over last night to play one of out favorite computer games. It's called Hero's. It's super fun!! By the time he left and all the kids were ready for bed so was I. Sorry. I'm getting really lame about posting everyday. I promise to do better. I was going to post earlier but today was dance for Ariel so that takes time. So yesterday while I was on the treadmill I was watching the Half Blood Prince and by the end of the movie I was a mess. Dang hormones. Of course I can't blame it all on hormones.
So what do I do to myself this morning? That's right. I started the Deathly Hallows. Oh my heck. I couldn't even wait till tomorrow to finish the first DVD. So I ate my breakfast downstairs and then the boys woke up during the second part. DK was funny. He woke up ornery, ate, and then went back to sleep for like an hour and a half. lol!! But I lost it during that part too. Oh my heck. But I did get two baskets of laundry folded after I put DK down. I have to thank the random power bump we had for that. hehe!! I went to hear Sarah do her presentation she did for my ward last week, for her ward today. She is brilliant. Truly!! And then I came home to freshly mowed lawn, thanks Ariel, so I could water and then I started on some much needed weeding. Luckily Aunt Flo finally came so bring on the less ornery and the loads of bathroom trips. Night all!!

Day 53
Yesterday starting at 5AM, which is just wrong for a Sunday so I truly feel for those in the LDS church that have to be up for early meetings every Sunday. The meeting I went too was great. A lot of important info for our Stake and ward. Lots of thinking to do. I was tired however by the time 4pm rolled around. hehe!! Plus it was fast Sunday so that doesn't help. But thanks to my meal plan I don't over eat when my fast is over. Although I really wanted ice cream last night. I know how much all of you are tired of hearing that and I should just stop whining about it already, but hey, you read this blog so I want some ice cream. hehe!!
Mother's Day is Sunday if you can believe it. It's almost the middle of May. That is just insane. Time flies as you get older. Is that because you are always doing something? I remember when I was in school, the school year seemed to drag and then the summer was woosh. Weird. So that was my random thought for the day. We dropped my Sarah's yesterday to drop some things off and we got to chitty chat for a while and that was awesome. Adam was entertained by Sarah's daughter. She loves to talk and Adam was just eating it up too. It was great. It was chilly yesterday but I'm not complaining. Have a good day. I'll write later!!

Day 51 and 52
I really need to get this done earlier so I'm not so freaking tired at night and don't get it done. Yesterday was a busy day just catching up on laundry and other things. I did get some painting in which was awesome. I really enjoy painting even though I'm not that good at it. I must get that desire from my grandma. It's pretty relaxing when the boys aren't needing me at that moment. hehe!! Sorry. I had to answer some texts. My phone was in my purse. I tend to forget about that thing when it's not by me. Anyway, I did eat too much dark chocolate yesterday. I was pretty grumpy and it helped calm me. I know Sarah. I know and I'm sorry. By last night I hadn't been on the treadmill so I was happy to get on it and watch Fringe. Oh my I love that show. It felt good to get my cardio in.
I was planning on getting up early to get my resistance and cardio in but I didn't get to bed till late. So I got my cardio in and I'll get my resistance in later. Busy day that just keeps getting detoured. I have an early meeting tomorrow for church. So hopefully Adam and Ariel can get up on their own and get the boys ready for church. Sometimes I hate being the only one that knows and does everything. But enough of my ornery. I will be going now. I need to get to cleaning. Have a good rest of your day.

Day 50. I can't believe it
Today also starts my 8th week. Almost two months under my belt. Unbelievable. I lost a total of two pounds this last week so 27 pounds gone. It's crazy to think that that I could loose that much weight the right way. The healthy way. It's exciting. Three pounds to go to reach 30 and then 20 more after that to reach half way to my goal. I've been craving sweets today, bad. Aunt Flo is coming....boo!! But thank goodness all at the same time. I know, i'm weird. I'm proud of that thank you. hehe!!
Today was a good day. I got up and did my cardio early, but then DK started to cry as soon as I was ready to shower. I just can't win with that kid. I actually put makeup before we went to the store. I know, shocking. the boys were super good while we went to Michael's and Smiths. Even after DK had been asleep for 45 mins prior to our trip to Michael's. My Mother's Day crafts are coming along nicely. And the day ended with a baby shower for one of Adam's cousin's and his wife. They are having a boy and he has another cousin that's having number two in August. It makes me happy to see people happy at times like this. It's great. I hope Paul and Erika will get to have that joy next year. It'll be good to have another baby in our immediate family again. Just as long as it's not my baby. hehe!! Have a great night all. Happy dreams!!

Day 49....I believe.
Oh my heck!! I'm posting early...or on time. lol!! I didn't get up this morning thanks to the boys going to bed late and the thunderstorm and heavy rain. I just can't do it if I don't sleep well. So I had to deal with a crying 1 year old. Argh!! I must get up early. But I did remember something that I've been wanting to mention today, as I was coming back up the stairs for the 100th time today. Sigh!! I don't get as winded going up and down the stairs mulitple times anymore. That is incredible. I love it. Talking while on the treadmill or laughing at the movie I'm watching is another story. hehe!!
Got another blister today thanks to my sock. It's on the side of my big right toe. Argh!! Dang blisters. Go away. But I guess no pain no gain right????? I had to change my music. I needed something fun and fun!! hehe!! Phineas and Ferb soundtrack will do fantastically. After I showered today Siko was kind and helped lotion my legs, arms, and the part of my back I can't reach. hehe!! That kid. He can be so sweet and so naughty. DK took a 3 hour nap today. I'm eating dinner and then I will be getting ready to go introduce Sarah at the Relief Society Mini Class tonight. I can't wait. She will be fabulous. Have a great evening all.

Day 48
I need to start taking notes for this blog. Especially when the boys do super cute things that I want to say and then I forget. hehe!! But they did sleep in their own beds all night last night and woke up happy this morning. That was nice. Both were good while I was on the treadmill until DK stubbed his toe on a toy. Then he cried for the last 15 mins off and on. Poor kiddo. There wasn't even a mark, blood, or bruise. It's this phase he's going through. It's sort of frustrating. I need to get my resistance in tomorrow after my cardio and then a shower because i have to be ready for the day early. Sarah is doing our mini class for relief society tomorrow and I am super excited. She is going to fabulous.
I just remembered what I was going to say and I wish I would have been able to get a picture of it. I let DK have a cupcake yesterday and he had it all over his hands, face, oh and hair. hehe!! I will never have a memory of Siko like that. hehe!! He's my clean one. so the boys are bathed and I'm ready to get ready for bed. Have a great night all. Hope your Tuesday was good and I hope your Wednesday is even better!!

Day 47
Yesterday was such a horrible day. Sunday night Siko woke up screaming and then after a while woke of DK. They both were really restless for like an hour or so. So no sleep, no getting up early to cardio, and I was tired all day. I got some crafts done which is good since mother's day is coming up fast. I did get my cardio in last night which was scary since I was half asleep. hehe!! It's a good thing I'm not going too fast but any speed is scary if you fall asleep. Thank goodness for a key that is super touchy!!
The boys were actually really good yesterday so that was nice. They both got to paint a pictures and I proudly hung them on the fridge. DK is going through the "I want what you have" phase and "if i don't get it you'll pay" phase. I hope it gets over it quickly. Have a good day and I will get on to update for today. I was so tired last night that I forgot to post and then while Adam was talking about the Hobbit movie that will be out soon, yeah, I feel asleep and woke to him giggling at me. hehe!! Talk to you all later!!
