Another Day, Another Walk.

Well I have been trying to work out, I go for a walk just about everyday and hopefully I will start losing some more weight. The other day when I weighed myself I weighed in a 135, so that is five pounds down from my starting weight! Yay! Hopefully I can keep up the exercise and lose even more!

I got a new purse from Victoria's Secret the other day and it is so Cute! I am very excited about it, I had to get a new one, which I only buy maybe one a year because my old one got dirty and has black all over it.

The weather has been pretty nice lately, good for walking and getting some sun on my skin, but it is fore casted to rain for like the next 7 days or so. But that can always change. Well I guess that is all the news for now. Everyone here is doing ok, my Mom just isn't getting better but she isn't worse. Here is some pictures of my new purse.

Family Visit April 2010!

So my sister Joni and her family came down on Saturday and we did a bunch of activities. My brother Jeff and his family were supposed to come down too, but plans feel through with them, and they couldn't make it. We missed them. When my sister and her family got here, first we went to check them into the hotel they were going to stay at, but me and my Dad had to go get them on the side of the freeway. They were one mile away from the hotel, and their tire blew out, and completely shredded. So first stop they had to be towed to Big-O Tire to get a new tire. That was crazy!

After that we all went to Boondocks, a family fun arcade, and played games. Me and my nephew Jaden went miniature golfing, and I beat him, but only by 5 strokes. My niece McKenzie went on the Bumper Boats and my other nephew Spencer and his Dad Daniel went on the go carts. Then I watched Jaden go on the kiddie go karts all by himself and he had fun. Then we all played arcade games to win tickets. Later me and Jaden got to do some mini bowling and played air hockey too. We all had such a blast there!

Today before my family left, we went to this really cool park, that had an awesome playground. The playground is designed like a castle, with lots of swings and slides. The kids really enjoyed it. Then we went back to Boondocks and me and McKenzie got to go on the go carts together, I enjoyed it and so did she. I just want to thank my sister, Joni and Daniel, Jaden, McKenzie, and Spencer, we had a great time with you.

Also we celebrated McKenzie and Spencer's Birthdays with presents. I took some photos, so I hope everyone enjoys them.

Getting Out!

So yesterday I went to my first Church Activity, since I joined this new singles ward, that is closer to home. We did a service scavenger hunt, it was very fun! We split up into groups of four and we went around to people's homes that we knew and did random things in their home to clean up. It was great helping other people out, and I made some new friends and met more people in my ward. I had a great time and I'm glad I went.

Also, when I started trying to lose weight, I weighed in at 140, and now I weigh 137. So I have lost some weight and I haven't gained any! Go Me! Hopefully I can just keep losing more and more. Well that is all for now.

Happy 8TH Birthday McKenzie!!!

Happy Birthday to my neice McKenzie. She is 8 years old today! I just wanted to wish her a Very Happy Birthday and tell her that I love her. I also wanted to share some pictures of her, from her 8 years of life, I hope everyone likes them. Enjoy. I love you McKenzie!!!

More Easter Pictures 2010!

I found a couple more Easter Photos from the past, so I wanted to post them.

Past Easter Photos!

I thought I would post some past Easter Photos for fun. Everyone enjoy!!!

Happy Easter 2010!!!

Well, Happy Easter to Everyone! Nothing too exciting going on here. Just me and my Mom and my Dad. We will be having a yummy Pot Roast for dinner, and watching the LDS Conference, that is about it for today.

The Holidays make me miss my brother and sister and their families. It would be fun to be with my nieces and nephews, all together on every holiday, but I am thinking of you on this day. I love all of my family.

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.
