Fun night

I had an absolute blast last night. Went to a youth event at another SDA church. It was to raise money and food for the surrounding charities and food banks. All in all I would say the did pretty well. There were lots of ppl there, but the coolest thing was... they brought in snow and they had a snowboard/ski competition (and yes even sledding for the little ones). It was fun to watch them. The food was fantastic, the entertainment was fun, and music "ROCKED", and the body art was exciting! I was talking to a lot of ppl I havent seen in a while, it was good to catch up. The Summit church has a thriving bunch of youth. I was very happy to see how invested they were in "their" kids. If only every church was that "great"! I was glad I went. Thanks for inviting me LEXI!

Its sad

I think its really sad when ppl from different parties cant get along. We all have our own opinion on why we think is best and maybe, just maybe if we talked instead of being HOT under the collar and listen to each others reasons "why" then we would have a better understanding! But since no one is willing to do this, nothing ever will get done! The fighting and hurt feelings will cont. to go on.

Health Care

I am NOT in favor of the new health care reform bill they just passed. I was so depressed last night after they did. This means big changes for my company and hubbys too. This was a HUGE mistake and its going to be to late once the ppl who voted for it, finally figure this out! I sure hope they find out that out STUPID president is NOT an American and they can reverse EVERYTHING last thing he has ever done. He has put our economy in WORST down fall and it isnt going to recover.... this president is NOT what our country needs. What we need is someone who thinks before he acts... who thinks of others first and doesnt put HIS wants before the countries. Florida and Idaho will be filing suite on this bill.... it is going against OUR rights as stated in OUR states.. I know that other state are also following suite. LET stand up for what is right, don't let the government RUN everything part of our lives, don't let them take our freedoms that our ancestors fought so hard for and WON!!!

Day Twenty-two

YEAH..... I am happy to report that I am now down to 184#~ I have lost a total of 6 lbs since I started this no candy and no pop diet adjustment! I am happy. I know that I will be loosing more when I start running and being more active as the season progresses along. I am going rock climbing in a few weeks and I want to loose as much weight as possible before I go. The lighter I am, the easier it will be to lift my butt up on the rocks....lol.

knee

Brett wrecked his knee yesterday, he was just walking along when his knee gave out and now he cant hardly walk. He is headed to the DR this morning to see whats wrong, hopefully its just a quick little adjustment and poof, good as new! He thinks though that something tore... I surely hope not! :o(

Costume

I am in the Easter Drama again this year and this year I didnt have a costume... I am a bigger girl (not just in the waist but tall as well) so the costumes they had just didnt work for me. My mom, Gramma and I all went to Jo-Ann Fabrics yesterday and bought a pattern and material and today my costume will be finished! I love it! Its brown, ya I know, not so pretty but the shall and head dress pieces make it all work together. I LOVE IT! I am so excited that I have my OWN outfit and one that I got to pick out! :o)

School

I hate feeling like I am at a crossroad and if I dont do something soon, all my oppertunities will pass me by. I talked it over with Brett and he said NO to school for now.... not for GOOD but for now. He said I have to pay off my current loan and then I will be able to go to school, so MAYBE (cross my fingers) I will be going to school in the fall/winter!!!

APRIL

I have decided for the month of April I will also be having NO CANDY and NO POP... PLUS I will be running ONCE a day EVERYDAY!!! I am trying to be healthier... I want to look how I used to look... THIN!!! I DONT want to see FAT when I look at my self in the mirror.... So One day at a time, I will eventually reach my goal... My ultimate weight goal is 150... I would LOVE to be 145 but not sure that will EVER happen, but i know I can make 150...

Tattoo

I have been giving in to the idea of a tattoo... I want a butterfly (something way cool) on my lower back...I havent completely decided on this yet, but am considering it. I have wanted one for a long time, But I am not crazy about being poked a million and one times with a needle! Plus the costs are outrageous! So for now I have a plain ordinary back... for now~

Freefall

I have started the 3rd book in the series, tunnels! It is very good. This book is 600 pages, and I am hardly through it. Its taking me some time now since things have gotten a little busier! Cant wait to see what happens. This book JUST came out this month, and they are currently working on book 4 THE CLOSER! They are also say that these books are going to be a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE (soon)! Lets hope! So I reccomend this book and the other 2 previous one to the series, Tunnels and Deeper!

Day Seventeen

I feel like I have failed, I know I havent "cheated" per say, I havent had pop or Candy, but I have had Ice cream.... Too much this week too! My weigh in is at 185# today! I believe it would of been better if not for the ice cream, but well thats in the past.... So YEAH, I lost another pound and am excited to continue to loose weight! Its coming off slowly, so I am hoping this will be permanent!

Day Ten

Today I feel wonderfully alive. I am NOT tired, I feel happy, cheerful and just all around good! The weigh in today is 187#! Yeah on the down ward slope again. I love feeling great. It totally crazy how the pop and sugar messes with you, and how much caffeine makes you MORE tired and less awake! I woke up today for the first time since summer, awake, not groggy like usual! I have been drinking more water too. :o)

Time Travelers Wife

When the movie came out after the book I was bound and determined NOT to watch the movie, cause the books are ALWAYS better, but my aunt watched it and said I needed to watch it, so yesterday I rented it and I LOVED IT. I like the ending SSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO much better in the movie. So if you havent seen it yet, GO WATCH IT~

NEW BOOK

I go to the library wanting something to read... have NO idea what so I start looking at the books pick up the ones that look interesting and I come upon a book called Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams.. it looked and sounded interesting, but the book was HUGE (well for me it was) it had like 400+ pages. I took it home and couldnt put it down. It took me a week to read it cause of everything else that was going on. At the end of the book was a cliff hanger, I hated the way it ended... Last week I was in the mood to read again and remembered that there was sequel to Tunnels, so I went to my beloved book store, and bought a copy of the sequel DEEPER!!! I have had a hard time putting this down. This book is 643 pages long and I am at the 500 mark. I have only had this book for a few days. I think this is the fastest I have ever read a book. I am very proud of myself for doing this. I found out when I bought the new book that there is a 3rd book to the series that JUST came out this month and so back to the book store I will go when this book is DONE! I love the way they write. So good, I feel like I am right there with the kids in the middle of the earth. Oh fun! :o)

Busy Busy

Oh my goodness... I was so busy today! Had a MILLION (ok.. not really) customers today and a 1000 (ok so I am exaggerating again) to pull and send out, it made me happy. I love being busy. Sitting here all day in the office is NOT fun!!! I am tired, hungry and sore now but very happy to sell my materials! :o)

Im Sick

I havent been sick with a cold or sore throat in ages and last week and this week I have this awful sore throat....Feels like there are lumps on sores.... hurts awful bad. Cant wait til its over!

Day Eight

Today is day 8 of my new search for a healthful body. I feel great, no withdraws from the caffine and unless I see the candy I have no desire for it. All in all I am happy that this is going well. Now for a weigh in 188#! I am at a stand still in the weight department but I know soon that will be on the drop again and that is what I am looking forward to! :o)

Stress

Why oh why is there a thing called stressed? WHO INVENTED IT? Ahhhhhh. I hate feeling like my life is falling apart, that things are out of my control. I dont know how to release my stress....

wrestling

B has started wrestling.... He loves it. I think this is a great outlet for him to get his "manly" aggressions out. This is his first week and 3rd day. He says he is having fun! Im glad.

Day Four

Today is going great, No pop, No candy! I did however have a cup cake yesterday but only one and nothing else sweet! I still managed to loose another lb. I am now down to 187# I have been loosing 1 LB per day. YEAH! If this keeps up, at the end of the month I will be at my REAL goal weight! I really want to be like 150 but will settle for 160. But I am happy at this point with ANY lost weight. Hope I dont find it again! :o)

SICK?

I have thought for the last few months my kids have been sick, turns out its really BAD allergies... Both A and D have red sore noses. We started them on allergy meds and nose spray, hopefully they will feel better soon. :o)

Doctor Visit Update

Took D to the doctors yesterday and they said he isnt depressed, BUT he is extremely STRESSED~ How does one 10 year old get so stressed? We were recommended to go see a counselor for him to release his stress! I hope it works... Poor kid!

Day Three

Day three on my new adventurer and guess what? Unless I see candy or pop, I have NO cravings for it! YES!!!! I also weighed myself this morning and I am happy to report that I lost one pound! Now as long as that continues then I will be super happy!

Doctor Day

Today I am taking D to the doctors... it has come to my attention that he too, is depressed. Now 3 out of 5 ppl in my family will be on "Happy Pills" because of depression! Who knew that depression was just a big thing!? Did you know more and more people are getting on depression meds every year? Thank goodness for pills! Ah, to have happy children again! :o)

Day ONE

For the month of March I have decided to give up my bad habits of POP and Candy! Day one is done and working on Day two. I feel pretty good for not having any caffine or sugar. I am needed to loose weight and this is the best way I know how to do it. I will give posted up dates once a week on my progress... as of March 1st I weighed 189#~ The goal is to weigh some where in the 170s! Even if I were to loose 10 lbs, I would be HAPPY!

New Career

I have been thinking really hard lately on what I want to do with my life, I just dont know.... I have been thinking about going into the medical field, but I am not super excited about it... so I am taking baby step and going to work on my CNA, well maybe... its not set in stone yet but this is where I am leaning to for now. Its so hard to know what you want to become when you grow up! (lol)
