Bright Spots, on a Dreary Day

So....today has totally been a dreary day. Not just because it is dreary outside either. I have had a MASSIVE headache all day. It is probably just from staying up too late last night and getting up too early today. By the by, P90X was okay today but is still kicking my butt!! That is okay. I am sticking to it, and to my diet. Yay! I didn't think that I would make it through. I can barely walk and, let's face it folks, I AM HUNGRY! *sigh*

Then...the book that I have been waiting for finally came! It is a replica of an 1830's Book of Mormon and I am totally pumped! I heard that it is absolutely awesome to read and so, I bought it for myself as an early, way early, birthday gift. Thanks hubs for not being too mad. ;)

My other bright, shining spot today was hot chocolate. I am thankful that I stuck to my diet so that I could reward myself with an afternoon snack of Chocolate Mint Truffle hot chocolate. Yum!

Maybe this day isn't so bad after all! Even the boys are playing quietly...miracles DO happen.

BLAH...

So...I did it. I got up at 5:30 this morning and worked out. I haven't been doing very good this last month or so but I am going to start again. I also haven't been sleeping very well so I am hoping that getting up early, working out , and NOT taking a nap will help me sleep better. : ( We will see.
Anyway, the workout TOTALLY KICKED my butt but I stuck with it. I have done really good about eating today. However, the munchies are starting to seriously kick in and Mike isn't home to stop me and the kids are being....annoying!! AHHHHHHH!!!!! Ok, I can do this. But...why...why...WHY does it have to be so hard! Grrrr! These last "few" pounds had better be worth it!!

My sweet little man

Ok--so I am into the colored text lately....get over it.

I was laying my baby down for a nap today and just decided to give him a little extra snuggle, which is fun when he is tired because he will actually hold still and let me love him. Anyway, I just felt a little overwhelmed by the love that I have for my boys. I can't imagine my life without them, even though it would be easier, it would be so lonely. He started to get giggly and wiggly so I knew that it was time to lay him down. ( I LOVE HIS LAUGH) AS I put him down I was so thankful that my babies are being raised in a home of love and comfort. It breaks my heart to think of all of the babies that don't have all the things that my kids have. Even the basic things like love and comfort. I pray that I can be a blessing to my kids.

Happy New Year!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!!!

I am very excited for the new year! First of all, I love even numbers. I don't know why but I do. Secondly, I love new starts and a new year just feels so clean. I especially love that we start the new year with snow. It always feels so fresh and peaceful.

Soooo....last night was a bad night for the diet. Oh well. I did good until M got home from work. Then we had nachos for dinner which is one of our favorite meals. It was awesome and delicious. I tried to only eat a little but it didn't work. Then we had cinnamon rolls, candy bars and milk to celebrate the new year. We didn't make it to midnight though. The kids were in bed by 9:30 and we were in bed by 10. Guess we ARE getting oLd.

I cleaned house all morning to avoid food. My house is so clean AND I haven't snacked at all!!

Today has not been a good day. :(

Yeah....okay....I really want to do good on my diet but then I see something that I really want to eat and...I eat it. Sick, I know.

Maybe I should just give up!! What do you think? Should I keep trying? Are the last five or ten pounds really worth it? I worked out this morning but I don't think it will do me any good.

Confession....I at about four pieces of pizza. Yeah they were small but that doesn't really matter. Then, of course, I couldn't resist a few pieces of Christmas candy and a piece of M's Bday cake. Then I had to have some milk to drink.

I guess that I will just have to try harder tomorrow. I don't want to give up and be like this forever but IT IS HARD. I hate not being able to eat what I want, when I want to.

Sigh....double sigh.

Fat Busting 2010!

Ok...I know that losing weight is like, the number one new year resolution. So...ok...I am not original, who cares!! I do not think that I am fat but having my precious little ones has, let's say, changed me. I WANT TO GET AT LEAST SOME OF IT BACK!!!!
So...this year I AM GOING TO LOSE 10 POUNDS. That is all, just ten. I am realistic. My other goal is to exercise every day no matter what. I am going go to the gym 3 days a week and lift weights and do some cardio/ weights at home every day. I am. I will be a new slimmer me before we know it. JUST YOU WAIT!!

Brigham City Temple

I can't believe that we are getting a temple!! I never really thought that we would because we have so many that are so close to us. I mean, Logan and Ogden and both 30 minutes away and Salt Lake City is only 1 hour. However, I am so excited!! I know that it will probably take a few years for the temple to get here but I can't wait. As soon as I heard the news, I got my boys and we all held hands and said a prayer of gratitude. I was so excited that I cried. It sounds small but having the temple here will cut an entire hour off of our temple time, which is huge when you have kids. Especially when you have a baby. It is hard to get someone to watch 3 boys for 2-3 hours. So....taking an hour of is HUGE!! I can't wait. I love gong to the temple and the feelings that I get when I am there. I love that my family can be together, forever if we are faithful. I can't wait to find out where they are going to build it. I can't wait!!
