Hello!!!

Hi there! Nope I didn't drop off the face of the earth :) I did however drop off the "loose weight" band wagon over our little vacation. Funny I worked out with my mom while I was down there but I drank about 6+ Dr. Peppers in a 3 day period- WOOPS!! And then I got home and I don't know if it was post vacation blues or weighing myself and realizing that I had gained weight over vaca, BUT I slacked off last week in a bad way. Which brings us to this last week! I'm getting better and back on the wagon! And although Vegas put some weight on me we had a great time! We went to the scary suspension bridge over the Hoover Dam- AH!!!!!!! I am not a heights person- I only got out there about a 1/4th of the way before I was ready to scoot back onto solid land! And there is about a 4 1/2- 5 foot railing on this thing! That's it!!!!!!!! SCARY!!!!!

We also went to my parent's Friday night date spot- the pinball place! I seriously think we need one here in Utah because it was way fun! I am planning on saving up for my own lord of the rings pinball machine for my basement someday...when I have a basement... :D

We also went to the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef and saw all the fishies and petted some Rays- they were slimy, but oh so cute!!!!! I think Daae got a good kick out of the whole thing, and Jax enjoyed it when he finally woke up! Daae and the Big blue fish!

And fortunately both plane rides were very mellow and easy going... except when we were delayed by 3 hours going to Vegas- PAIN!!!! We were sad to go home though :( I REALLY wish my parents lived up here! REALLY! and my mom sometimes reads this blog so I am hoping she sees this! Hi Mom!!!! :D

Week 3- Woo!

Well I am getting pretty good at posting each week thanks to the attempted weight loss. I can say that I worked out more consistently this week and I have my personal trainers to thank for that AKA Daae and Jaxon! They are dancing FOOLS!! LoL Daaelynn is always asking me to do dance exercises with her and she is sure motivating! It was a better week this week for the emotional eating. I totally gained back the lb and a few after I posted last- conference eating! Doughnuts killed me! But I think I am back to the 1 lb lost- still haven't got the scale thing going :P and I probably will gain some more this upcoming weekend and not have a scale still LoL We are heading to VEGAS BABY! WooHoo!!! We really need to go visit my parents and with spring break and all it was a good time. But it seems like whenever we go down there 1/2 the trip is based on what we want to go eat! We don't have some of our Vegas favorites up here so we tend to try to get all those goodies in while we are down there. My mom had the wii dance game as well though so we will have to play it with her. So there it is my friends and on a very RANDOM side note I have a picture to share! This was taken a few months ago and it is seriously just awesomely fun. We were talking some friends about it tonight and I thought it would be good for a laugh- Jax will WAY hate that I have this picture later in life hehehe! have a great week everyone!!!

Week 2 and Conference

So week 2 was kinda rough! I was having an emotional up and down week, and that didn't bode well for my weight loss efforts. Yes...I am one of those emotional eaters. There is no feeling sugar cannot heal...well except the feeling of being too fat LoL You only think it helps till you're done eating a gallon of sherbet then the guilt- OH the GUILT! It wasn't too horrible though. I am still down 1 lb, but I need to get a better way of weighing myself. At work there is a scale we cheat and use, but it is a scale for laundry LoL Sooooo I really need to get my wii fit game up and running so I have a scale here at home. But all in all I've been doing better than I have in past, and my lovely sister in laws and I are going to do a self made weight watchers thing with each other, AND my hubby hopefully is buying a bike this weekend and we can pull the kids around and go biking about the neighborhood. So we are still on the way to a healthier Meggie! Second is I just got done listening to part of the 1st session of general conference. I only caught the very last talk all the way through, and I loved it. I have felt the stirrings of wanting to do service and implement it into my life consistently for quite some time. I think soon I will be on the hunt for something I can do each month that will serve others. One that I wanted to do when Jax was little was Meals on Wheels- they take meals to widows and home bound people, but Jax was a newborn and I didn't think dragging him around int he car would be fun for him lol But I think I'm going to re-look into doing that. It is one of those things that touches my heart, but also makes me get out of my comfort zone. But that is what makes us stretch and grow like a muscle. You gotta tear it up a bit, but it grows back stronger each time! I'll have to keep you updated on that project too. I look forward to what the next 3 sessions bring- I'm excited for conference! I must be growing up! :D Hope you all can listen in too! Peace out!!!
