D139..What's spell check again???!!!!

I really have to remember to spell check my posts. haha!! I woke up with an expected but unfriendly surprise.  I bet you can't guess what I'm talking about.  I had the worst cramps but forced myself to just get on the treadmill and I'm glad I did. For the first time since I've been working out, I worked those cramps out the door. Thank goodness.  I also managed to get my resistance in with Jillian this morning.  I haven't used one of her video's for a while. I was time.  I just love them.  I'm trying to keep it all rotating.  One because I have too and one so I don't get bored.  I nearly ran the whole 50 mins. I had to take a 1 minute break for my heart to rest but that was it.  I'm really trying to push myself. No more Mrs. nice workout lady.  It's on!!

Tonight I am having a dolTerra party. I love their essential oils.  I use them on my feet, thighs, in the air, and in a glass of water.  So if you're reading this and would like to come over at seven do.  If you need my address, I am happy to give it to you.  Just to learn more about them is worth it.  I need to get ready for that so have a great evening what ever you are doing.

D137&138....Sweetness!!

Yesterday was buys and tiring.  I just wanted to go to bed at 6 but didn't make it till after 11.  I hate that.  We were supposed to go to a missionary homecoming yesterday but couldn't find the church and by the time  we got home I was wiped out.  I did make it to choir practice and we went up the Walkers for dinner.  I told Sarah about my awesome run on Saturday and she's talking 5k again.  EEK!!  I don't know if I am really ready for that yet.  Someday soon though.  A 5k I can probably handle.

Today I got up early and wasn't expecting a great cardio but I ended up burning 718 calories.  Awesome.  I got some house work done and hopefully tomorrow I can finish my laundry.  Ariel took the washer and dryer over today. hehe!!  tomorrow I hope I can get my resistance in before my nieces get here.  Nothing else really exciting happened today.  We're watching men's Olympic gymnastics.  Gees's almighty. Some of the stuff they do.  Have a great night everybody.

D135&136..."I hate it when food touches."

haha!!  I love LL Cool-J and that is a quote from the movie Toys.  I watched that today while running.  Yes. Notice I said running and that is because I only took one 1 minute break today.  I ran 39 minutes and then 14 after that.  It was awesome.  My upper body was tired before my legs were.  hehe!! But I digress. Yesterday was a good day too.  I was only able to run 4-1's and I think one 9-1.  But I got on the treadmill early in the AM before I had food in the old system. That makes a big difference.  We also went to the dentist and Ariel has two cavities and the dentist has to fix one of my fillings.  GGRR!!  I love to go to the dentist and Siko did so good but he also has some spots they'll be watching and we'll have to have those filled because he won't loose them before then.  Boo!! I hate filling baby teeth. Ariel had one too when she was little.  The opening ceremonies for the London Olympics were amazing.  Beyond what I could have imagined.  I really want to go there now and to Switzerland so badly.  I was late on every meal yesterday asd well.  crap. I hate that.

This morning I got up ate breakfast, mowed, weeded, ate my snack, did my awesome cardio(I think I was channeling Sarah on her half marathon today), did my resistance because I didn't get it in on Thursday, ate lunch, and now I'm blogging. I need to eat my snack and then get out and cook my chicken so I can shower and go visit the new Target by our house.  Phew!!  I am beat though.  I need to start laundry some time today as well.  Who knows if I will make it though.  Where's my laundry fairy?  Someone stole here.  Boo!!  Although Adam did the dishes for me today so that was super great of him.  He was about to fall asleep on the couch so I asked if he would wash them for me.  I am listening to Enya right now. I love her.  It relaxes my mind.  And I try to harmonize with her.  Awesome. Love to sing.  Have a great rest of you day.

D133&D134....Wow and Finally!!

One word for each day. hehe!!  So yesterday was a pretty busy day so sorry for no post.  When I was on the treadmill I pushed my self again and I did one 14-1, then a 9-1, then a 14-1, and then a 9-1.  Awesome. I'm learning how to breath better while running and my body is trying to keep up with me and actually doing a great job.   I have been feeling super tired lately.  That usually means one thing.  Another week of freedom and then a cranky visitor will arrive.  But yesterday I also got some laundry done and my sisters kids were really good so it worked out.  The heat however is killing me and I can't believe it's almost August.  Ariel will be in school soon. I'll miss having her around all day.

Yesterday I didn't want to get on the scale today.  Lately I just don't want too be anymore depressed.  But I did it anyway.  I am now three ponds closer to the half way point, but that wasn't enough to keep me from going back to bed.  I'm telling ya, the tired thing is killing me. I have more energy after breakfast and before my morning snack to get my workout in.  Today is also resistance day and I can't decide what I want to do. hehe!!  The rest of today will be busy.  My sister's kiddo's will be here again for a few hours, I need to finish laundry so I can start cleaning, and maybe I'll throw in a shower if I have time.  Well I better shower I have a visiting teaching appointment this evening. hehe!!  So for those of you who aren't sure.  As of today, I've lost 49 pounds and have one to go till I get to 50 lost.  I start my 20th week today.  Thank you for all your support.  Here's to 51 more pounds lost in the next 20 weeks.  

D132..Oh my holy freaking cow! I can't believe I did it!!

Woo-Hoo!!!!!  I decided today when I got on the treadmill, that I would run for as long as my watch said I could and I did.  I ran four 9-1 minute increments.  The last 10 mins I had to do two 4-1 minute increments.  I burned the same amount of calories as I did yesterday but it felt so good to just go and know that I could do it felt even better. Awesome.  Last night we decided to go to the drive in to see Brave. It was playing with The Avengers but we left in the middle because we were all tired but mostly because DK woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep.  He did once he was in his bed. hehe!!  Brave was awesome.  Both of the boys sat and watched the whole time. Well DK was locked into the stroller till he got tired.  They both did fall asleep towards the end.  It was past their bedtime.  It was past mine too. hehe!!

Today was a pretty good day.  I've been late on all my meals though.  That's what happens when you got to bed after 1 in the morning and wake up just before 8.  So far I'm not too tired but i'm slowly getting there.  Happy Pioneer Day to you all.  Be safe with whatever you may be doing.

D130&D131.....It rained! Yippy!!

I waited all day and on our way home from Adam's Parents it was windy, thunder, lightening, and rain.  It was a crazy beautiful thing.  Most of my friends on Facebook enjoyed it too.  We came home to a very hot house.  But over all yesterday was a good day.   Got all my meals in on time but I feel the chocolate cravings coming on super strong. I hate that.  A cute sister in our ward asked me yesterday how much more I needed to loose and I told 54 pounds.  And she said 54 more pounds? There will be nothing left of you.  We won't be able to see you and I said sure you will. It'll all be muscle. hehe!! Which is true.  For me to loose 100 pounds will put at 125 which is right in the middle of where I should be and it's be a healthy 125.  I think it's funny that people think that's super skinny.  It'll be awesome.  I will be able to keep up with my boys for once.  I can't wait.

Today started with me kicking butt on the treadmill but waiting for it to be done. hehe!!  I burned the most calories yet.  Then I ate, fed the kiddo's and did some resistance.  Holy cow.  My shoulders and upper back are sore.  i'm feeling super tired and have to stay awake because my nieces are here and I have the baby today.  I really wish I was taking a nap while she is. hehe!  DK has Oreo smear on his face.  I hope it rains again today. I love the rain.  Everything smells so good during and after a good rain.  I getting distracted by Cloudy with a chance of meatballs.   I hope the rest of your day and mine goes fantastic. Oh. DK is getting sleepy.  Till later all!!

D129....Creeeppyy!!

Well last night we went over to Sarah and Chris's for dinner, movie, and Lego playing. Of course Sarah and I watched the movie, "Water for Elephants" and Adam keep most of the kiddo's happy by building Lego's with them.  He was in heaven. hehe!!  And I loved Water for Elephants.  Rob Pattinson is yummy.  Oh sorry!!  (it's true though)  I could not get up this morning.  I slept in till almost 8.  I think I needed some extra sleep.  After the kids were up, fed, and dressed we went to the pediatrician.  Siko has an upper eyelid infection.  He has and antibiotic and eye drops. She said it wasn't contagious which I sort of figured since his eye ball isn't red and pussy.  The freaking cat is just chilling on our book shelf. hehe!!  She's has some issue's.  Now here is the explanation for my title.  After the dr we went to the restroom and while I was finishing I got a phone call.  I of course ignored it and then checked it in the car.  Oh and DK hates the elevator while Siko jumps and it starts and stops. hehe!!  So I checked my missed calls and there was the one for the dr's office from yesterday and my phone.  Ya.  My phone called itself.  Freaking creepy.

I should have watered my flowers today but it looked like it was going to rain so I didn't.  If it doesn't rain by the early afternoon I'll have to go out and hose them down.  Hot and windy equals dry ground.  Although our grass is looking better after that awesome rain we got last week.  And the weeds just won't die.  Boo!!  Ariel is waiting to say the prayer and get back on Facebook.  DK is destroying a coloring book....or two.  And Adam is watching a Sienfield rerun.  I had an awesome cardio and resistance today.  I'm planning on being sore tomorrow.  Good night all!!

D127&128....Sigh!!

Yesterday was a very discouraging day that ended worse than it started.  That's one of the reasons why I didn't blog last night.  First I got up and weighed and the scale didn't move. Which is good in one way and only one way. It didn't go up.  It seems like it's taking forever to get to 50 pounds down. In the last three weeks I've only lost 4 pounds and half of those I had to re-loose.  Second: a spider laid eggs in one of the holes in my radio handle that I keep in the bathroom and it hatched the night before last so baby spiders every where in there. I'm still killing them.  Third: after I kicked butt on the treadmill, cleaned half the house, and did a butt load of dishes I also had to trim the lawn. I was hoping Adam would step and do it since I've been super tired this week, but no. Apparently I don't get enough exercise.  Fourth:  I took my anger on him out on Siko.  Not remembering that he hadn't napped yesterday and was super cranky last night.  So he was sent to bed because he was being uncooperative and belligerent.  He has a way of making my teenager seem easy some days.  I should have just went on a walk to calm down.  I thought about it but didn't do it and Siko paid the price.  I am a horrible person.  Staying positive is hard for me lately in more ways than one.  If I didn't know my meal plan and workout plan work, I would stop it all together, but I can't. I have to just retrain my way of thinking.  That's the hard part.

Siko woke up this morning with a swollen right eyelid.  Not sure what that's all about. He may have been bitten by a bug.  His eye isn't red but his poor eyelid is having issue's.  If it doesn't look better tomorrow I will take him to the Dr.  It's not as swollen right now as it was first thing this morning.  His eye closes when he smiles.  He's like a pirate at that point and I should get him a patch. hehe!!  And he only says it hurts when I ask how his eye is.  I'm hoping to get the rest of the house cleaned today so I can "relax" tomorrow after I water my flowers, unless we have to go see the Dr.  Oh and balance the old check book too.  Boo!!  I hate doing that.  Doesn't help the positive thinking.  Adam is scout day camp today.  I hope they have fun and stay safe.  Everybody....have a great day.

D126...Oh my heck. I'm exhausted!!

I couldn't wake up this morning to save my life let alone to get on the freaking treadmill.  So I got on at 9.  It was rough too.  I felt like my legs would fall off and I couldn't keep my heart rate up to have it matter much.  It was bad.  This afternoon I got my resistance in.  oh crap. I forgot I needed rice.  I guess it's quinoa again.  MMM!!  Yummy!!  Anyway.  I'm just tired of being tired all the time.  Another weigh in tomorrow and I just don't want to do it.  Right now I am being distracted by UP.  I love this movie.  "But it's a talking dog."  lol!! I made some tea because my tummy is just not doing well this week.  I love herbal peppermint tea.  And I know you are thinking, tea when it's a million degrees outside.  Yes. It helps the old GI tract. hehe!!

The boys have been good today.  They're just so cute and naughty at the same time.  Today while I was on the treadmill Siko picked up the magnadoodle and drew a perfect upper case h.  Then he drew a x.  Later he drew a H and a j and then a Q.  I love being home to see him pick up on new things and get new interests.  Hopefully it's worth the stress and unknown.  "Where's Kevin he's wandered off."  haha!! Sorry.  "Kevin's a girl?"  Okay, I'll stop.  But Siko is an amazingly smart boy.  Hopefully I can keep his interests up so he keeps writing.  I hope everyone is having a great day and will have a great evening.  It's bath time in our house.  Yikes!!

D125...."Ah. Tayler's my best friend."

This is what Siko said after he found Tayler went home. hehe!!  We had a fun busy day.  We went to the zoo this morning with Annie, a friend in our ward, and her kids.  Ariel stayed home with her two older cousins.  The otters were a no go again.  But the other animals were up and busy.  The tigers were super active.  The seals were swimming and basking in the sun and that silly polar bear was doing his thing.  And I forgot my snack this morning so I was hungry by the time it was lunch time.  DK loved the train so much that he tried to get on it again after we were done. hehe!! I also wore Capri's that I haven't worn for 6 years and a shirt that I didn't fit into a month ago that I got from Sarah.  I will post a pic later.

I thought I would have to give those Capri's away but I'm glad I hung on to them.  They still look new.  Which is sad but good.  I miss the cool rain from yesterday.  Oh Fall, I can't wait for you to get here. Of course that's also because Halloween is in the Fall as well. hehe!!  DK hasn't been a good eater today.  His schedule got messed up. Now I have to run to my little sisters to deliver her Mary Kay that I forgot to give to her hubby when he picked up the girls.  Have a good evening everyone!!

D124...I was singing in the rain. Well not literally. hehe!!

It rained today and the temperature was so nice.  I loved it.  So did my lawn and my car which I moved out of the carport to get a little bath today. hehe!!  It looks a lot cleaner than it did. hehe!!  I went to bed so late that I couldn't get out of bed to do a nice cardio this morning, so I did after lunch.  It was awesome.  We had my little sister three oldest girls here today.  Ariel is watching them over the summer for her.  So Tayler was having fun playing with the toys that are piled behind it.  I need to take a picture of all the stuff back there. I have to dig the treadmill out. lol!!  Siko's been going through a Wipeout phase. He'll watch the video's on youtube and he makes his own courses, while i'm on the treadmill. Well today he would jump over the fan cord and say, "sucker punch almost got me." or "sucker punch knocked me in the mud mommy."  hehe!!  I love that kid.

Right now we are watching Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs.  We love this film.  A favorite.  I'm feeling tired right now.  So I didn't know what to make for dinner so the family got a treat and went to Wendy's.  It's great knowing that I can go with them to order and not get tempted to order anything.  I did have issue's when we got home.  But it was time for my dessert.  Now I'm full and ready to go to bed.  But we'll have family home evening first.  Siko didn't nap today and fell asleep when we were almost home.  Have a great Monday evening all.

Days 122&123....I confess. I'm lazy!!

I could have blogged last night but by the time Siko was done on my lappy I just didn't feel like it anymore.  hehe!!  Yesterday was a fun day. I got up to workout, a half hour late because DK changed my alarm the turkey, and then it was time to get ready for haircuts.  We buzzed DK's hair in hopes that it will grow out a little thicker because he has so much fine baby hair still.  Now that mines been cut it's time to cover the grey. hehe!!  Hopefully I'll be able to get it done in the next few days.  Then we went to Wal-Mart for a few things, but mostly it was just a nice easy relaxing day.

Today I had sharing time in Primary and I decided to sing "Reverence is Love" for the kids instead of having them sing it.  It went really well although I about  peed my pants before doing it. hehe!!  I can give a talk no problem, ask me to sing a solo and I freak out. hehe!!  Although I did it to myself and loved every second of it. I should have recorded it. hehe!!  That was an after thought.  After choir practice, where I learned I will have a small solo in our September song, we went to Adam's parents.  It was fun.  We brought our Angry Birds game and grandma, Siko and I had a blast playing it before dinner.  Then we talked and played Scategories and then I went clothes shopping in Grandma's closet.  Now keep in mind Adam's mom has great taste in clothes so I didn't mind that they are "grandma's" clothes.  Although most of them may not fit and we brought home like 10 grocery bags full.  So most of them will be given away. hehe!!  I can't wait to start trying them on tomorrow. Yee-haw!!  Have a good night all!!  Oh boy it's late!!

Days 120&121....Well that explains a lot!!

Sorry i didn't post yesterday.  It just was a horrible day that ended more horribly than it started, so I didn't want another rag post and started to clean my house.  But I did re-loose the 2 pounds I gained plus one.  So I am down to 179 and 46 lbs gone.  I also went over to my parent's and my mom should me her budget and now I am terrified to get it started. But I will be gathering the stuff I need to do so.  It's raining right now so I opened the windows a little more to listen to it but now I am sweaty.  What is wrong with me? hehe!   So last night I went to close window's and there was a potato bug at the end of the stairs so Ariel got all excited and picked it up.  As I started back up the stairs I found a camouflaged spider on the stairs. It was huge and yucky.  Thank goodness the vaccum was already downstairs.  Now I have the heebies again.  

Today I slept through my last snooze for 20 mins so I decided to sleep in.  When I got up I ate breakfast and then it was finishing cleaning the house, then sorted and started laundry, and then watered my flower bed and park strip.  The only place that isn't apart of the sprinkling system.  I need to try to get out and weed tomorrow.  I did get my resistance in before I got on the beast(treadmill) and I thought it was a good idea. Ya not so much.  Well the first 15 mins I was okay. The next 20 mins I would struggle but then ended pretty good.  I am super tired now.  And I need my snack.  So after that snag spider I did some research just to make sure it was a wolf spider.  Thank goodness it was. hehe!!  I wish DK would get his 2 year molars already.  Gees!!  He's ornery and snotty.  Blah!!  He's my worst teether.  and my ankles are swelling.  What the heck?  I blame humidity right now for that. hehe!!  Have a Happy Friday the 13th, The reason for my horrible week.  Today wasn't so bad.  haha!!   Peace!!

D119.. What's the point in trying?!

Today was okay. I was so exhausted again that I couldn't get up this morning.  So I was really sweating when I did my cardio this afternoon.  Oh boy!!  I'm not expecting anything grand tomorrow morning on the scale.  It has been an awful week of me be angry a lot and trying to control it.  There is something wrong with me.  I swear I have depression but the symptoms come and go. I was feeling really good for a long time and now I just don't care.  There is so much going on in my life and I feel like I'm the only one worried.  Sometimes I really hate being married and having responsibility.  Is it really worth it?  Some days I wonder.  I hate balancing the check book and I hate seeing bills come in the mail.

I thought things would be different when I lost my job. I knew it would be hard but I thought someone would step up.  It's just frustrating.  And sorry this isn't a marriage blog so i'll shut up.  I have been good about my meal plan so no worries there.  I will be really upset and sad if I don't see the scale down a lot tomorrow.  Like I said. it's been a rough week. I have dishes and laundry to do.  Night all!! And before someone says, I know someone most likely is having a harder time than us, but I bet they qualify for food stamps.  Just saying!!

D118...."No, I said a dart gun not a far........okay."

Some many movies have such great lines. hehe!!  So I remember what DK was doing yesterday that was so cute.  He was looking in an ABC book, pointing to the H, and saying H.  Awesome.  Today he was copying Despicable Me, where my quote is from.  It's fun to see him picking up new words. Today he also picked up his asparagus bowl and said all gone.  Awesome.  Siko has been making stairs with the Lego's and then having help him by giving me direction on how to build Lego stairs.  Love my kids....when they're not driving me crazy. hehe!! Na, even then.  The heat is killing us.  The swampy just does not work midday.  We're going to have to vacate to the basement till the late afternoon.  

Our Costco trip was awesome.  I love it when Ariel ask's to get fruits instead of junk.  She likes making smoothies for her, Adam, and DK.  I had another successful day on the treadmill and did my resistance this morning too.  I'm waiting to be sore tomorrow.  Hopefully a lot in my abs.  Sarah if you are reading this good luck tomorrow.  I pray you will get the answer's you need and are looking for.  We love you.  Have a great evening everyone.  Stay cool and/or warm.

D117..Love days that start rough but end super!!

I nearly posted this without writing anything.  Last night on the way home from Adam's parents Siko was helping DK with the alphabet.  It was so cute.  Today we had a rough morning but the boys took long naps and I even got one in. I needed it.  Holy cow.  I had an awesome workout on the treadmill this morning.  I
tried out my limbs and went a little faster when I ran today. It was awesome.  I think my hip flexer is starting to be more flexible. hehe!!  It's not hurting as bad when I run.

The boys did some other cute things but I can't remember what they were.  Dang memory.  I need to make notes.  How sad!!  I love watching Twilight while I'm on the treadmill.  Anything to keep me interested.  hehe!!  I hate this heat.  It's driving me banana's.  I need to go shopping tomorrow.  I'm almost out of food.  Today I was feeling like I was sick of my food.  I blame the heat.  I also feel like I've gained more weight instead of loosing it.  Again, it's the heats fault.  I have been getting wicked headaches since Friday.  I thought it was my contact prescription change in my left eye but I don't know. I'm drinking more water than normal to stay cool and help with the cravings that I've having lately.  I thought my nap would help but it made it worse.  Dang body.  What's your deal already??  It's not answering.  Boo body.  Boo!!  Have loverly evening people!!  I think I will watch My Fair Lady tomorrow. Love that movie!!

D116...Boy I feel stupid!!

So I'm eating what I think is dark chocolate the last few days and low and behold....it's not.  It's milk.  I thought it tasted different but it's also a different kind that what I've been getting.  Gees.  Adam and Ariel were excited though.  I'm glad I didn't eat too much of it.  Gees!!  Good think I have backup of an approved treat. hehe!!  Today was a good day other than my silliness.  It was a good day at church and the boys were pretty good.  Ariel stayed home though. She went to Seven Peaks with a family in the ward and got a little too much sun, not enough water, and on not a lot of sleep.  She got pretty burned.  I'm enjoying silence right now.  All the lids are napping and Adam is down on the compy.  I need to get my snack ready and we need to head out to the in-laws. Adam is making dinner tonight. It doesn't take long to make but still.  I will keep this short today.  Have a great rest of your Sunday.

D115...So much to say. So little time.

Well last night we went to the drive in to see The Amazing Spiderman and Men in Black III.  Both amazing movies, especially Spiderman.  So we didn't get to bed till about 2 and I woke up at 4 with the worst charlie horse in my right calf. I haven't had one that bad since i was pregnant with Ariel.  It was so bad that my right foot was flexed and I couldn't move it to stretch it out.  I woke up Adam hoping he could help but just as he did I felt it release and I was able to stretch it out.  I could feel where it had been at this afternoon. That's how much it hurt.  Then I got up at 6:30 to eat breakfast and then had the a phantom gall bladder attack for like an hour.  I even came out to the couch hoping that I would get relief if I sat up a bit and it eventually did. I was afraid to eat after that so I didn't eat again till lunch.  I did okay the rest of the day. I got my cardio in and  resistance as well.

The boys stayed at Adam's parents over night and we went and got them this evening.  We had a nice visit and Adam helped his dad with the deck.  I was being lazy on the couch. hehe!! I deserved it.  On our way home we were driving by the Lays chip factory and I was watching some fireworks out my window, we were in my car and Adam was driving btw, when I hear Adam say oh my gosh, he hit the brakes, I hear a loud bang and feel a jerk, I scream and see a deer flying off the road on my side and hit the ground. Then Adam says I hit a deer.  He pulled over to check damage and said there was a little dent that we could push out.  I was super shaky and told he can't drive anymore.  He said the deer was running across the road.  That is the first accident my car has been in and he was driving.  No more people.  When we got home I saw the dent he saw, some deer poop, oh and where my hood buckled a little on the passenger side.  So the dent is on the driver's side and the worst part is no where where the deer hit.  Awesome.  Can't fix that till we have too.  GGRR!!  I hope on top of it I don't have whip lash from looking the opposite way.  It was small deer and Adam said he saw it get up and leave but I don't know. Poor thing.  I hope everyone had a better day/evening than me.  Good night!!

D114....Why couldn't the cool weather stay for a while? Boo!! :(

So after I posted my blog I talked to Sarah who suggested I take an extra rest day yesterday.  So I did.  I felt a little lazy for not getting on the treadmill but I think I needed the rest.  It felt really good to get back on it this morning.  Although I forgot to stretch my poor hip flexer again.  I started watching Twilight again.  Somehow I got one of the songs from the movie stuck in my head. hehe!!  I'm crazy.  So today we went to the zoo.  I didn't think I got too hot till about the time we left.  It was super busy.  Parking was a joke.  Ariel's friend Kyler came with us.  We got there about lunch time so we ate first.  DK helped me eat my beans. Silly kid.  I was pretty exhausted afterward.  It's still pretty warm and when you're pushing kids up hills it's trying. hehe!!  I was going to do my resistance today but my thighs were burning once today so I will rest them till tomorrow. hehe!!  I need a nap.  And I need to finish laundry!!

I had the best visit with Brenda yesterday.  The boys enjoyed having a friend close to their age here to play with.  Although Siko gets rough at times.  They did pretty good though.  Brenda and I talked about everything and anything. I love it.  Sorry Brenda if I said some TMI's yesterday.  I sometimes forget to be cautious. hehe!!  My poor blistered toe just had it hard today. I had to pop it.  It felt so good to do it.  It's almost time for my dinner.  Have a great Friday evening everyone.

D112&113...I should not have done that. :(

Well yesterday started out early with little sleep.  I got my cardio in, followed by watering and then house cleaning.  I tried to take a little nap before getting ready to head out for the party we go to every year, but Siko kept jumping on me.  So I got up and finished my brownies and then got ready.  We had a good time at  Alis and Dickey's, well except Ariel.  Well her and Adam had fun drawing for a long time, but that was before Taylor got home with the friend that Ariel doesn't like.  They all used to get along great, but people change and when it's just Taylor and Ariel they get along okay.  Alis made her famous spinach dip and I did have two tiny bites and that was it.  It just didn't hold same yumminess to me as it once had.  I brought my dinner and my dessert and enjoyed it.  Dickey made bacon wrapped burgers.  Holy cow they were huge. Add bun to that holy moly.  Huge.  I ate before everyone else but brought the brownies out just as I was eating my dessert.  They went fast thank goodness and Alis kept the left overs.  It's a good thing. I couldn't have those things in my house. They are so gooooood.  They it was off for our 2 mile each way walk to Murray park for fireworks. They were awesome.   We got home after 11 and I got to bed just before 12:30.

So what I shouldn't have done is weigh myself this morning after listening to an almost dead cell phone going off all night, weird dreams, and only 5 hours of sleep.  I got on the scale still feeling super bloaty from being out in the heat and walking in it yesterday and quickly regretted it.  Remember I am also having a visitor so that doesn't help and Sarah's told me a few times to skip the week of that visitor but I haven't listened.  Stupid scale said I gained two pounds.   There's no way that is fat pounds.  Not after how many calories I burn just from my cardio, not to mention all the other calories I'm burning from my boys. hehe!!  I haven't gone to get a pint of Ben and Jerry's yet because I know those pounds are water weight pounds and don't count.  Right Sarah?  But I do need to get down and cardio while it's still wonderfully cool outside and shower because I have a friend coming today that I haven't seen for few years.  Can't wait for our visit Brenda.  Have a great day all.

D111..I'm feeling super sick. It's just like being sick but I wear a cape.

Well it's more like very crampy, but I ask for it every month. hehe!!  But it hasn't been this bad in a very long time. On top of that I slept in this morning and have been so, so sore all day.  I'm glad I did resistance yesterday though.  Hopefully it won't be as bad tomorrow.  I will be up early to treadmill because I have house cleaning and watering to do.  It's so dry that I saved it for tomorrow. I'm afraid the neighbors are going to set or lawn on fire.  Scary!!  I did make it to the store today.  It was a good trip.  Not a lot of people.  This evening and tomorrow may be a different story. hehe!!  

I am so tired.  I am doing this early because I want to just watch Percy Jackson and fall asleep on the couch tonight.  I know I'm weird.  We're supposed to get rain later this week but it's still supposed to be super hot. Then again, I haven't watched the news since Monday.  This post is going to be short. Sorry. Not a lot happened today.  So happy 4th of July tomorrow.  Have a safe and happy day with friends and family!!  

D110...The ultimate test!!!

It is my oldest sister's birthday today do we went up there for cake and ice cream.  But that wasn't the test.  They live in Bountiful and that is where Adam works so me and the kids met Adam at his work and then we went to Wendy's.  I do not recommend going to that Wendy's.  It's the one off the 2600th exit, just an FYI.  It took 15 mins to get the order in and a lot of people left while waiting.  It was horrible.  But I had to sit in front of the frosty sign with all the different kinds you can get, awesome.  Then there was the yummy smell and then the food arrived.  I had already eaten, of course, but the smell of the yummy food is so inviting.  But the hard part was how slow DK ate and his frosty and cheeseburger and fries were right in front of me.  But he ate so good. Of course we haven't had that kind of food for months so that's probably why. hehe!!  It truly was a treat for the family.  Well everyone but me. hehe!!

But I survived dinner and then my sister asked if she should ask if I wanted any cake and ice cream. It was sweet of her.  I had my yummy dessert with me so I was all good.  We had a great visit and the boys had fun playing with their cousins and the new puppy.  Now we're just finishing up baths.  Siko is finally eating dinner and his cake. hehe!!  Silly boy.  It's  bedtime.  Have a great night.  

D108&109....Feeling hungry!!

Fast Sunday can be really tough for me these days.  I need to find a way to keep myself busy till 3 when I can break my fast and eat my snack.  But let me talk about yesterday first.  Got up early to do my cardio.  Awesome workout.  We had stake baptisms at ten and my ward was in charge of the program.  I got to lead the music.  I only got nervous a few times.  There weren't a lot of people so I had to try to sing out more.  EEK!!  But it was fun.  We had another baptism for our ward at 1:00.  I wasn't to go and Adam had a talk on the Holy Ghost.  He said it was really nice.  Then I had my pedi and Sarah fixed my broken nails and then we went to her house for dinner, frogurt, and games.  Well on game.  Settlers of Zarehemla. hehe!! It's awesome.  Adam and Sarah trade off winning.  Chris, Sarah's hubby, is now taking notes on how many times each of us win.  He hasn't won yet either. hehe!!  It was so much fun.

So today I had sharing time about fasting and prayer.  It was pretty good.  I enjoy teaching.  I got a little snarky at the Senior Primary but mostly because they have a hard time listening sometimes.  They were really good after so......  Siko is having a moment and I need to cook some chicken for the week.  Have a great rest of your day.
