First picture at week 4

What is kinda scary is I have a picture of me in this same shirt when I was 5 months pregnant with Tyler and I do look skinnier, but still scary. We weighed in this morning and I lost 3 1/2 lbs even though we ate at Red Robin and Olive Garden, I really did good.
So all in all I have lost 19 1/2 lbs since I started losing weight. To all of you out there you can probably see a difference but for me it will probably take a few more weeks before I feel it. I am working out and eating better, its paying off!
PS I did want to put both pictures up but I didn't like how close they actually looked so I didn't.

My birthday week

On my mission I called it my birthday month but now its a birthday week. (too many other people with birthdays) I got an mp3 player from Karl and I got picture stuff from my parents. We went to my mom and dads for my actual birthday and then we went out with Superwoman and her clan and the Gordon's and a half(lol).
Thank you to everyone who made it great for me. You know who you are.

Week 3 Weigh in

I totally shocked myself when I weighed in. I knew that I had lost but I wasn't prepared to see that I lost six pounds this week. Yes you saw it 6 LBS!!!!! What I am worried about now is not back sliding and gaining next week. We will see what happens. I have lost a total of 16 lbs and I know I have worked hard for this.

If I Were in Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world,
I'd cancel school and boys,
and friends,
street lights, Eli
and also
police and haters.

If I were in charge of the world,
There'd be Disneyland in Auburn,
more toys, treats to,
and
eat all the times.

If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn't have school.
You wouldn't have boogers.
You wouldn't have timed tests
Or clothes.
You wouldn't even have haircuts.

If I were in charge of the world
ice cream
would be a vegetable,
Chocolate
would be ok.
A person who sometimes forgot to flush,
and sometimes forgot to eat,
Would still be allowed to be in charge of the world.

When I was in second grade my teacher read us the book, If I Were in Charge of the World, and as part of an activity to it we had to write our own poem so the words that are in bold are the answers that I put. I knew I did this poem but I didn't know until we went to Oregon to see my Grandparents that I sent the origional to my grandmother. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, my weigh in tomorrow and I will definitely post on here what I lost. Lets just say I ate at Cheesecake Factory, Red Robin, Claim Jumpers and McDonalds (more than once) this week and I still lost weight. Wish me luck.

Memories..Like the corners of my mind...


My friend had this on her blog and thought it might be fun...

The directions are as follows:

1. As a comment on our blog, leave one (or as many as you like) memory that you and I had together or a memory of our family. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Weigh in Week 2

We weighed in yesterday and I lost 2 lbs. I was happy because I thought that I lost less than that. It has been a pretty good motivator for me to lose weight and I have worked out alot more than I was. This morning I woke up at 5:14am and I was so worried that we slept in that I had a dream that Chris came to our house to tell us that it was ten minutes to eight and we were late. I could have gotten up and worked out but I went back to sleep.
So far thats 10 lbs in the last two weeks. I hope I can get myself down to what I was when I lost weight before.

Losing Weight

Hey everyone. I know its been awhile since I have posted so I thought I would let you know whats going on. A group of us at work have joined together and we are all trying to lose weight. There are eight of us specifically who are in an eight week competition. In this competition we weigh in every week and if we lose we pay nothing. If we say the same weight as the week before then we pay $1.00. If we gain weight we pay $2.00 for the first pound and $1.00 for every pound after the first. So if I gain 2 lbs I have to pay $3.00.
In my first week I lost 8 lbs!!!!!! I was so excited. I am doing weight watcher homestyle version Karl and I did a few years back and I am looking forward to wearing my skinny clothes again. I will keep you all updated.
