LIghts in Vegas

Its nice in Florida even if it is 45ish degrees

So yesturday was one of those days that you are just so thankful for. I found a nice part-time job ( i have been one often to have a couple part-time job instead of one full-time job) the employer is then more flexiable with you. Also more understand if you have illnesses or anything like that. I had to do my first of two major fingerprintings. The place I had to go was all the way in Melbourne Beach area which is a good 40miles away from where I live. Ron and I both saw the weather and knew that it was going to be very cold so he decided to go with me. I of course had to make sure that I hit the gym and do my Zumba class which is going absolutly wonderful! then I came home had a shower blowed dried my hair and then out the door. We arrived at the beach took a couple of pictures. The waves where great and decided to take a walk along it. It was very nice. We knew it was going to be cold so we were dressed for it!! then we decided that we would leave the beach and see if there was any cute little shops we could walk around and we found several there was a great little thrift store, a natural food store that we spent a good amount of time in since we are really wanting to change our eatting habits and how we look at food, there was a great fresh raw food market and a couple cute little resturants...then we walked back. It was nice to just betogether and explore. we then went to do my fingerprinting and then on the side of the road we found a really fun place called Burger Inn. It is all out doors but they still have a waitress and we think she is also owner but not too sure. I had made my own food because I'm on a special diet. Next was our drive home and then we had to get ready for Kyles wrestling banquet. It was a really good even and made me so very thankful for the wonderful family the Lord has blessed me with. I unfortantly dont always look at it like that and more then I wish I did I think about what is wrong and what could be better. But i truly am very grateful!

Today was not as evenful. LOL...instead I did some laundry, cooked a little and of course did Zumba. But I did spend time with Kayla and that is important. It is so very hard for me to believe in just 4 months she herself with be 18. I swear it was justyesturday that I held her in my arms for the first time. I think what Im getting at is think of every moment as something to cherish cause it all moves aloong so fast!!!

Test blogging by texting it in??

Up and Down!

Today started on a very good note. Me and my most of the time Amazing husband ( unless I'm mad at him) went to the Orlando Temple. We missed doing a session by about 10mins. (UUUGGGHHH) and Ron really need to get to work. So unfortunately we could not wait until 11 for the next session to start, which was an 50mins away. But the nice brother at the front desk suggest that we do sealings. What a great idea. I dont think in the past 8 years Ron and I have even done sealings. Plus i have a bunch of family names to boot. Perfect! It was really was kneel across from one another and hear the words that was said for us. Also am amazing feeling to get to do this wonderful work for someone else. When we went into the temple it was kind of cold and when we came out it was a beautiful day.

I then came home and spent a couple of hours with Kayla. I took Kyle to get his haircut at this really great Barber Shop here in St. Cl9ud, FL that every Wed. does haircuts for just $7.00 and you get your choose of either a polish sausage or BBQ pork sandwich. NOW how is that for a deal. so I take Kyle to get his haircut and I pull out my debit card to pay the bill and the very nice lady informs me that one of the ways they can keep it cheap is they don't take debit or credit cards. well small delema, I don't carry cash. I tell her and she says don't worry just come back later and give me the money. I tell her that will work out fine because I will be bringing my younger son in when he gets out of school for his haircut. and so I do it. ( how nice and trusting, hardly anyone is like that now a days. It was very refreshing.

For dinner I made a great shepherds pie. I guess not so great if you dont like shepherds pie. My Family and I sat down and read scriptures. Kayla and I headed off to the gym to ZUMBA ( which we absolutely love to do) While i was gone my wonderful husband ( one of those times) made sure our youngest got a bath, brushed his teeth, said his prayers and went to bed!

WOW! I'm beside myself two great days out of three days. I do live a very blessed life. For that I am very grateful.

My kind of DAY!

today was a really good day i would have to say. I took Kyle to seminary came home slept for another hour then got up and took Zebediah to school. Then Ron invited me for a walk to the park we live by. The weather was perfect for such an endeavor. Over-casted with a very light rain. We had an enjoyable time just being with one another. We decided that when we would pick up Zebediah that we would take him to the park on the lake front. Zebby was so excited to learn that we were going on a side trip to the park instead of straight home. We had a good time doing kinda yoga posses on the beach area. Zebediah even made one up called the "arrow". Ron practiced doing pull-ups and I just enjoyed being with them. When I got home I reminded Kayla that today was monday and that we had a date at the gym for ZUMBA totally love that class and the instructor today ( i wish i knew her name) really gets ya moving. Her class was great!!! we came home and ate some soup i made yesterday. Ron decided that we should have scripture reading and that was very nice!!! Zebby got ready for bed and then Kyle and Ron decided to go to the store to pick up popcorn and hot coco mix. Our families favorite! To end the day Zebediah declared that he is going to be only good from now on. ( we will see how that goes...LOL) And Ron, Kayla, Kyle and myself sat and watched a movie together. I know that everyday can not be like this one. But boy was it wonderful in so may ways!!! i do kinda with i had been smarter in my food choices but other then that all and all it was a perfect day!!

a new idea for myself on blogging

so i have not been so great at the whole blog thing...well really i have not been to great at much of anything. Anyways i have decided to change up my blogging just a little. I have over the past year lost 60lbs, while that is a great amount i still have a whole 100lbs to lose. I have not lost much in the past three months. i have lost and gained the same ten pounds over and over. But i am done with that. It is making me really mad. So i was thinking that maybe if i blog about what i am going to do everyday to lose weight that this will somehow help me to be accountable and lose more weight. I am fighting a HUGE bout of depression and i happen to think that depression is mostly just made up in the head. But when i try and i MEAN try HARD...i cant kick it!!! I have so many things that I need fixed about me. I want to be the person Heavely Father wants me to be. Yet I am having such a hard time.

Anyways back to the weight loss. As most of you know to lose weight I have been on the HCG diet ( google it if you dont know what it is) It does really work but it is a very hard strict diet and it is very hard to stick to. I have done 2 rounds my first round was really good...my second round i did not load right on and i am about 3 weeks into my third round and my weight is right where i started from on it. Because I have not been following the strict 500 calorie diet. I do think that has to do with my depression. But again i am just done with excuses. I can and WILL do this. I HAVE to! i have to for my health, for my children, and for my husband. this is so very important...i am hoping that somehow blogging about it will help me. we will see....

OK really!!! this is going to be done!

ok so life is moving along as it always does. Life does not stop for anyone. no matter what the mins just keep on ticking by. This is hard from me sometimes like i am sure all of you. I am about as serious as i have ever been about losing weight. I can not and will not continue the past that i have been going down. It is unacceptable. My family deserves better and so do I. so far i have lost about 25lbs since dec when i started this. that is better then gaining but from jan-jun i was not actively doing anything to lose weight. Now it is on. I am ready and i am not going to use time, life or money as an excuse to be fat any longer. the past week i have gone to the gym ever single day. (woohoo) and while the scale has not been my friend at all. I do feel better because i am moving forward. I am excited to do a 5K with Kyle in October as a birthday present to myself!! i am hope by January to do a 10K. and we will see from there the next goal! this is my life and i am taking it back!! not to mention that i am sooo going to be hot!!! that is a woohoo for Ron!
