Yesterday

I have been dieting/ working out for two weeks and I just thought I would share an average day for me. I am down about three pounds in two weeks. Slow but steady, right? If you want to join me in my ten pounds or bust effort I would love to have you along with me. Maybe we could share workouts/ideas.

Thoughts
I love Costco chicken and so does my family. One chicken usually makes it two nights around hear, so we are having it again tonight. The desseret was light and sweet, perfect for a diet dessert. And SUPER easy to make. Ava didn't like it , but Grace did. Brett and I will be having another slice tonight while we cuddle and watch our shows.

My chest and back are sore from working them out on Monday. I was supposed to work my arms last night, but with YW I ran out of time, so I will do them tonight. I love 6 week. The first time did it I counldn't breath the next day.

Tonight

My car smells like throw up . . . again for the eighteenth million time (I know that's not a real number, but it's my blog and I can say what I want.) But tonight I don't care. Last week a family in my parent's stake lost their baby in the middle of the night. They just woke up to find that their youngest child had passed on in the middle of the night. I drive by this house on the way to my parent's and every time I do it makes me sick to my stomach. I can't even imagine the heartache being felt inside that home. My heart sincerly goes out to them, espically the mother. Before I heard about this family I was trying to preapre my YW lesson for next month, ironically it is on Eternal Families. If there is any comfort in this horrible tragedy it must be that families are forever, that not even death can seperate us. I wish I could explain how important that is to the YW. I am not sure you really understand how important family is until you are a parent and the depths to which you can actually love another person. I am gonna try to though and I am probably gonna cry (I hate to cry in front of people, particularly the YW ). So tonight I don't care that my car smells like barf, or that the sink is covered in toothpaste and that no one liked dinner. Tonight I am going to go bed happy that I have people to love. Tomorrow we can just go buy an airfreshner. . . .again.

Bowling

Last week we went bowling with Brett's family. It was a blast!!! Kris turned out to be the best bowler of the group with Big Dot coming in a close second. Jayden and Ava tried out some different techniques, and were mighty succesful. Brett, as usual, just threw the ball as hard as he could. Sometimes into the gutter. Mckenzie looked fabulous, as always. Bammy, Meagan and I just did our best to stay out of the camera lens, and we succeded. All in all, greasy pizza, bowling and the Barkdulls are a good combination.

Waiting

I already miss Christmas break. How many more days until summer?

Hmmmmm

Yesterday Ava walked by, slapped me on the butt and said, "Your bummy giggles when I do that." Yeah, guess I know what my New Year's resolution needs to be. Crap. Just when I was starting to really enjoy my diet coke and chocolate diet.
