Little by little

Sorry we haven't been posting. My excuse is I struggle with the spelling of the password. I have begun to cut out Dr. Pepper and haven't had it for over two weeks. I also have been sampling oatmeal for breakfast now and again. I walked three miles on Saturday, with Adam thinking he was the trainer from Biggest Loser. Can I just say that I HATE that show. I had to take Advil afterwords so that I would be able to walk in the morning. I go to the doctor in one month so I am trying to be good, you know one good day one bad day, now I am workin on two good days one bad day.

Feel The Burn!

(Sorry guys; I couldn't find a picture of that body-building Cassy that the boys like to talk about. No Adam, I would prefer it if you DIDN'T find one for me. Thanks anyway.) Is it just me, or does this guy look like he’s trying to poop?

Now that I’ve classed up our blog with a word like “poop,” you know this has to be Hillary posting. So, I’m wondering how we are all doing and thinking that we might need to issue a little family challenge. I mean, I’ve been doing my shred and will hopefully be attractive someday as a result. I have started edging into a smaller pant size, so that is a small miracle! How is everyone else doing? The silence is starting to make me think I’m in this by myself! Lindsey has to hold off for a bit while that little baby is living inside of her, but what is everyone doing? Are you so exhausted from your efforts that you cannot post? I just want to know how it is going, what you are doing, and if we should have a family challenge of some sort. So, how are you doing?

Any ideas for a family challenge?

Today is a Holiday!

Since today is a holiday no one at our house had to work, we woke up, ate breakfast, put Montanna in a backpack and went for a walk this morning. It was so nice to get out in the fresh, cool air and go for a walk. We started out going on the 3 mile route, but ended up only doing about a mile and a half. It was fun to be outside, see all of the airplanes, hear all the dogs barking and just chat as we walked. Hopefully this is a good start to a new week!

A slow start

It warmed up in Denver this week so I walked outside on my lunch 3 days! That didn't used to effect me at all but it make my legs really sore. Just a reminder how fast we get out of shape. I think I actually ate more, thinking about eating less. So this week I'm just not going to think about food but think about walking and blogging! I think Frank should try chasing Darby on her bike. I'm definitely not ready for the shred....yet!

Hurts So Good

Well, today found me wanting to skip my workout, but feeling really guilty about it. I decided to just get it over with, but Darby refused to let me use the big t.v. So, I had to put my video on my computer and put my computer on the kitchen island. The computer apparently wants to punish me for something and it wouldn’t play anything but level 3 of the shred. During the super-man moves, Darby laid on my back and made it so much easier on me, so that was awesome. I am so sore I can hardly move! But man, it hurts so good, right?!

Last night I made teriyaki chicken, broccoli, and a home-made rice pilaf. It was awesome, so if you want the recipe, let me know. I have a hard time dieting because I love to eat and eat a lot, so it helps if my food is super flavorful. What are your dieting secrets?

Britney's Disaster and Some Hope

Day 2
I went to all the trouble of making a healthy lunch and then I forgot it. I hate it when that happens. So naturally I had to go to subway, there goes the no fast food goal for the day. On the other hand I didn't drink pop yesterday. I just learned how to spell exercise, and now I might try it soon.

Our Day 1..... and 2

Well.... Yesterday wasn't as productive as we would have liked it to be. We thought we had a plan, but then when lunch time came, we decided we really didn't and broke down and ate a pizza, mac and cheese, and spaghetti. Not all of us ate all of that, it was kind of a free for all. Anyway, Monday was sort of a diet disaster. But, last night we sat down and each wrote down what our eating goals were and our exercise goals. Hopefully we will get on track here soon. It is a lot harder said than done! Adam has decided that we need to get all the pop out of the house and the only way to do that is to drink it. I offered to throw it in the trash, but that idea was quickly shot down. We will not be purchasing any more of that stuff for a while. We are planning on going hard for a month and won't have a cheat day until the first week in Feb. Hopefully we can keep each other honest here, and it will help us succeed!

I had a heck of a time getting out of bed this morning and didn't get to do the workout video before Montanna woke up, but I am either going to workout with Britney when she gets home, or.... I will be up at 6:00 am doing P90X with Corrine. Either way, I will update my status tomorrow. Good luck and happy dieting!

Day 1: A Tragedy

Well, the day has scarce begun and I (Hillary) am already feeling weak. Not weak like I worked out so hard this morning that I am feeling weak. I mean weak like I made 6 dozen cookies yesterday and only delivered 5 dozen cookies to people in the ward and man those cookies are good and man I want to eat one. Or 5. My resolve is waning, family. How is the first day shaping up for you?
