A Sick Christmas

This Christmas has been very interesting for me because I was so sick. I went to the Doctor for a simple infection and then ended up in the ER that night because I had been throwing up and fainting all day. After 4 hours at the ER and a few pokes and prods later I was sent home to get some rest and take it easy. Luckily there wasn't anything too major wrong with me just some bad reaction to some medication and one body sick and tired of drama.

I still managed not to gain any weight this Christmas week and I was pretty happy about that considering I couldn't really eat for about 2 days and then only ate what I could get down for the next few days. I am feeling much better now and am so glad to have my life back.

I am so grateful that Levi was able to stay home and not have anything going on so he could take care of me and Clark and I am so grateful to my friend Penny for tending Clark while I was in the hospital.

Thanksgiving

As you all know that sometimes when you are on weight watchers and are trying to change your life challenges can arise. One of these challenges can be thanksgiving. I prepared as much as I could for the event using tools that I learned at weight watchers . Like making sure I bring lots and fruits and veggies with me while out of town for the big day and packing yogurt and other low point foods. I also made sure I exercised every day, except for Thanksgiving day, so that I could feel better about eating a little more. I packed my smallest pants for the occasion and tried not to starve myself before the big meal. Finally the moment arrived that I was to eat. Everything looked so great but I was determined to lose weight this week especially since I was only 1 pound away from a huge goal. Well I didn't pack my plate too full but I still tried most everything and enjoyed it. I loved being with friends and family and hearing about their past thanksgivings and what they were thankful for. It was a good dinner and I still saved room for pie later that night. Well today I had to face the scale to see if my hard work and determination paid off. It did! I lost 1.8 pounds that week and I feel great. I achieved my goal and I can't believe it.

To all you weight watcher believer keep going, you can do it, just don't give up and you will achieve your goals.

20 Pounds Lighter

Well, I did it! I am 20.8 lbs lighter and 10 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight. I feel great and I am going for that last 15 lbs. I would like to get there and stay there for about a year before we have another child. To celebrate I bought this new outfit at old navy.

Get out and Vote

After a long morning of running errands I was finally able to vote around 2 p.m. I am glad we are nearing the end of this election but it has been interesting.

Super Saturday

It was my wards Super Saturday last Saturday and I had a blast. I had so much fun getting to know a few more sisters in my ward and I love crafting. As pictured I made a cute Christmas board that turned out 100% better then I expected, and I made a Recipe book holder. I also had a chance to make a cute jewelery holder for a friend. It was way fun and I wish I could get together and craft more.

A Mommy Break at the Spa

Today I finally cashed in my spa gift card I got for mothers day. I went to a spa not too far away that had really good prices. I tried two new services and I was really surprised at how much I liked my facial. I was really nervous for some reason but it was really great! I just had an express and I can totally see why people get the works, it makes your skin feel so soft and healthy.

I also got my first pedicure at a spa. It was the very basic one but it was nice and I love the nail polish I chose. I have to admit I didn't enjoy it has much as I thought I would. I guess I like massages better. I think the next time I go to a spa I will get a deep tissue message:)
