I can't wait for spring, this winter has been long enough!

ST. Patty's day

So today was St. Patricks day. We had a busy day! I went running this morning at 5:30am, came home showered and got ready for the day. Then after the kids were up and after Brent was off to work, we made green pancakes and had green milk! Actually the kids had pancakes and milk, I had green eggs and ham! After we were dressed and ready we went to the dreaded Walmart and it took us almost an hour and a half because we were looking for some special items for some kid concoctions we saw on IPTV. So we went home and put the things away, then went to the mall and the kids played at the play place. We then had lunch, I had a green salad, Megan had subway, Joseph had chicken and fries, and Sarah ate off of all of us!

We then came home and made some of the kid concoctions. We made gooey gunk and squishy people! The kids had a lot of fun. I then prepared a dinner and took it to my visiting teaching companion because she just had a baby boy! Then we came home I made dinner, chicken patty on a whole wheat bun, berries, and yogurt for everyone but me, I had turkey, tomatoes and cheese because I am doing just protein and veggies right now. Then we had family home evening, played for a while, got the kids ready for bed and now this.

It is 9:45pm right now and I am soooo ready for bed. I feel good about the steps I have taken today, 15860, and about what I have eaten today. Hopefully I can keep all of this up and start losing weight. I really believe that excersing and eating right will help. I need to start taking my camera along and post more pictures. I will for sure tomorrow. We have a big day planned again tomorrow. We are going to the science center so I will take pictures. Later!

weekend

So this last weekend was not so busy, except for me having to teach unexpectedly on Sunday for sharing time. At least I was notified the night before. Saturday the kids played all day, Brent started on our taxes, and I cleaned and made cookies! I was very good though, I only had one cookie. I didn't put my pedometer on until after 10:00 but my steps were still in the 7500 range for sat. Sunday was church as usaul and then I came home made cookies again for a baptism and then went to the baptism. The kids enjoyed themselves and Sarah especially liked walked the halls of the church and eating a brownie! Brent gave a great talk on baptism and we had a good time. I put my pedometer on before we left for church and my steps at the end of the day were 8796. And for the life of me I can't remember what we ate yesterday!
