Exercise!

Well, today I got up, and I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to push myself and to go exercise. I actually did it!!! I took an hour walk around my neighborhood, then came home and worked on my elliptical, then I did a full body stretch, and a 10 minute ab workout! I believe that if I keep it up that I should be able to lose some weight. I really want to lose some weight and get back to the weight I was last year around this time before I worked at eBay.

My goal weight is between 100- 110 pounds, right now I am at 140, so I have a ways to go, hopefully I can do, and I will update with any weight loss.

Update on my New Year's Resolutions!

Well it is almost April, so I have been working on my New Year's Resolutions for 3 months now. Here is my update on how I am doing. So far, I have not lost any weight, but I have not gained any weight either. I just recently was able to stop taking the medication that made me gain all the weight, so I should be able to start dropping the pounds soon. It has been hard to get into an exercise routine because my medical problems have not been getting any better.

Lately I haven't been able to get any good quality sleep. The sleeping pills I have been prescribed have not been helping me sleep lately. This had made my depression worse, because I have been in more pain and not able to do things, so it makes me more depressed. My Doctor just prescribed me a new sleeping pill, but a side effect is possible weight gain, so I am not excited about that. But my Doctor says if I can get some good quality sleep, it will help my depression and my pain. Hopefully I can get some good sleep here soon.

I have been drinking a lot more water, which is good for me. Recently I have cut down on Diet Coke a lot. I used to buy bottled Diet Coke with Lime every few days, and I would buy a few bottles at a time. Now I have no bottles in the fridge, I just have some cans of diet coke, in case I get desperate for a drink. If I go out to eat, which we do a few times a week, then I will probably have a drink then. So I have been doing good on that.

I also started going to Church more often. I found a singles ward just 5 minutes away from where I live. I started going 4 weeks ago. Since then, I have been to Church 3 times out of the 4 weeks, which is really good, considering the one week I was sick with shingles, which was horrible and painful. But I am over the shingles now, thankfully.

I think I am doing OK on cursing. I don't curse that often, but there is room for improvement.

I haven't been on any dates yet, but I just started going back to Church and they don't have Family Home Evening, so it is hard to meet people. They have activities, but not very often, but hopefully I can make some friends soon and go on dates as well.

I also have started working for my Brother, Jeff. He sells credit card terminals and salon software, to Beauty Salons. Since he lives in Arizona, I can work for him here, and go to salons here where I live. It has been hard to get started because of my medical problems and because they have been holding me back. My headaches get so intense some days that I can hardly do anything, let alone get out of bed. It is also only based on commission, so I only make money if I can get people to sign up for accounts. But Hopefully this week, I will feel better so I can get out there and go to some more salons.

Well, that is about all that is interesting for right now. Easter is next Sunday, me and my parents thought about going somewhere, but couldn't come up with anything. So probably just me and my Mom and Dad having a nice Sunday dinner together, and that would be about it. Also, my brother and his family are coming up in the middle of April from Arizona, and will be here for about a week. My sister and her family will be coming down from Idaho while my brother and his family are here, and we will get to spend sometime together. All of us have not been together, all of us, for like ever, so I am so excited to see them all together and get to spend some time together. I'll update later when there is more.

The "Meeting" of A Lifetime!

Well, I have made this Blog, so it can be like a journal for my life, so I try to document moments and memories in my life that I think are important. And this is easier to post on this blog, than to write things down in a book, because I can type really fast.

About a week ago, on March 13, 2010, me and my Mom and Dad went out for a normal dinner, to The Little America Hotel, in Salt Lake City, they have a nice restaurant we like to eat at. Well, on the way in to the restaurant, in the middle of the hallway, a bunch of people were standing around blocking the entrance to the restaurant, just talking, seemed to be for no reason. Then when I decided to look closer at the people standing around, I noticed someone very special standing there. The person turned out to be Thomas S. Monson, the Prophet and President of The Church of Latter Day Saints! This is the church I am a member of, and not every member will ever get to meet the Prophet.

So my Mother and I walked up to him and introduced ourselves. My Mom shook his hand, and introduced me to the Prophet, and he noticed how much I liked pink, since my purse was pink, my coat was pink, and the extra coat that I was carrying was pink also. Then because I was holding a few things, he also called me a Pack Horse. I just thought this was funny, I will never forget that he noticed those things about me, and never forget that the Prophet called me a Pack Horse. It was a really neat experience, unfortunately I did not get a photo with him, so I don't have one to post. Just wanted to right this down, and remember the date and all the details, so I never forget, but I don't think I can ever forget that.

Pictures From My Dad's 60th Birthday!

Me and my Mom and my Dad went out to Tepanyaki, one of our favorite places to eat at. We had a great time. I love you Daddy and here is to another long 60 years!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

My Daddy is about to turn 60 on March 20th 2010. I just wanted to post some pictures of me and my Daddy from when I was younger. I just want my Dad to know how much I love him and appreciate him. I appreciate all he does for me and for my family. You are one of my best friends and a great Buddy! Love you Daddy, Have a Great Birthday!

My Grandma's 80th Birthday Celebration!

So me and my Mom and Dad went up to Pocatello Idaho for my Grandma Norma Clark's 80th Birthday Celebration! We had a good time. My Grandma enjoyed the party and enjoyed getting to see a lot of people there.

We also went out to dinner the first night there at The Mandarin House, which is a Pocatello favorite of mine. And on Saturday night after the party, we went to Texas Roadhouse and had dinner there. The only thing wrong with the Texas Roadhouse was the service there was horrible, I should know I use to work there, it took us two and a half hours to finish dinner. We couldn't sit at a table all together because there was 11 of us, and our server was horrible, and slow, and I don't think he knew what he was doing. All well, still nice to get together with my family.

While we were up there we also got to see my sister and her family. It was nice to spend time with my sister and my niece and nephews, I miss you guys already. I'm glad we were able to celebrate as a family, and I'm glad my Grandma has had a nice long life, and hopefully, she will still be around for quite a while, she is the only Grandparent I have left. While I was there, before the party, I did her makeup, and we had a really nice chat that I enjoyed a lot, just the two of us.

I remember, ever since I was 6 years old, my grandma has come and stayed with us at our house almost every single Christmas, it has been really nice to spend all those Holidays with her, and look back on the fond memories.

So my Aunt Julie and Aunt Jill and my Uncle Jeff, and my Mom planned this party for my Grandma and did a wonderful job. The decorations were great! They made a really cool book of pictures of my grandma and her family, it turned out so nice. Also they made a video of pictures of all the family, which was awesome as well. My cousin Jenessa sang a couple of songs at my Grandma's Birthday and she is an amazing singer and plays the piano very well, she did a great job.

Well I guess that is it for now. Now I'm just waiting for my brother and his family to come up and visit us this Spring, and my sister and her family will come down during that time too, I'm so excited!!! I think they are coming in April, hopefully the weather will be good. Well I'll post more later.
