Adon

We were up late last night washing floors. The older kids get to stay up and help. They actually enjoy the time together and they get to stay up late! At about 10:00 I ask Adon:

"Adon are you tired?"

Adon "Nope, just hungry" :) "Are you tired Mom?"

"Yep, I'm really tired." I was sitting in a recliner nursing Travis to sleep.

Adon "You have to be really tired if you're going to be the best mom in the world."

I love that boy!

16 days

Yep that's how long it's been since I posted that I would be posting every day! HA! Well I should know better by now! But I am posting to update on how things have been going.

I haven't worked out enough in the last week but I've worked alot. We have been very busy here and I'm fine with that. So many things have happened in our home that have needed to very badly.... like the school room and the under the stairs storage area.

Last night Adon and Emma joined 4h, and I am so excited about it. Adon will be doing Rabbits and Emma will be doing poultry.

Okay onto fatso business!

I have lost 7 pounds! I'm so excited. I am now 170 pounds and I haven't weighed this much since before I got pregnant with Adon!!!!

Okay here's the real amazing thing! We were cleaning out the stairs last night and my wedding dress was in there.... yes it's stuffed into a garment bag and stuffed into another bag and stuffed under the stairs. I GOT IT ON!!!!!!!!!!! I could barely breathe, but it zipped up!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am now 20 pounds away from my goal and have lost 35 pounds since Travis was born!!!

I haven't been having Dairy which is great. Some days I've had too many carbs but for the most part I am so happy with my eating. And I'm totally fine that I had french fries for dinner last night while sitting on our bedroom couch with Dalen and watching the Duggars.

I've discovered that we cannot keep this family in enough fruit and I really don't like munching on veggies.... but I will keep trying.

I found a great webpage.

http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/

I'm not gluten free but she also has some great vegan recipes which mean they are dairy free.

Well there's my update... maybe I'll get Adon to take a picture of me later to add or something? What do you think?

Dalen has lost 5 pounds already! Crazy guy I've got my work cut out for me. I've got 24 pounds left to go and I'll be getting myself and new wardrobe! But... he's pulling out the big guns... He has stopped drinking COKE! Can you believe it! I don't know how long he's planning on not drinking it and if he's just going to have one every now and then, but he's not bringing them to work in his lunch anymore and I haven't seen him with one for a few days. I just don't know what to expect next? We're going out for dinner tonight so it will be interesting to see what he gets? I think he'll have a coke.



I am planning to have this yummy pasta dish that they have that has no dairy. But I'm going to ask for half of it to be packed up right away. Then I guess I'll try a salad. I don't know which one though (we're going to Mr.Mikes) I can't have any dairy, and I don't like sea food.. so I guess I will wait and see what they have.


I did 1/2 an hour of aerobics yesterday and I'm going to go do it again today with some crunches and pushups.


Here's some eye candy.

Adon's Christmas present from my parents.

They shared a milkshake and fell asleep in a pile of socks watching modern marvels. I love them!



And I love them!

Diet Blog

Well I know I've not been on here a lot lately... I'm okay with that :) Life happens like that. But now, I will be here everyday! Unfortunately it's going to be my diet blog. I will be going back on the Exchange Diet and will be using the blog to keep track of my exchanges and exercise. Dalen and I are competing against each other to see who can get to 155 first. Can you believe he's only 5 pounds lighter than me! Men.

Anyway he's three pounds ahead of since I've been sick and haven't been able to exercise but that will change today. For those of you who are interested in things like dieting and such I could sure use the encouragement, for those of you who aren't, I won't be offended.. I'll throw in some cute kid pictures every now and then ;)

Alrighty then! Today will be my first workout day and meny planning day and tomorrow I will weigh in and measure up ;)
