So Hard

This is why dieting is so hard.  I have done really well this week.  I exercised for seven and a half hours this week.  I thought that was pretty good, about what I did last week.  I definitely ate less.  I was not expecting almost five pounds like last week, but ONE was a huge disappointment.  One pound, I couldn't believe it!  Oh well, I won't give up just yet.  I'll press on for another week and see how it goes.

A cute picture of the kids that we took yesterday.  We took them out for King Kong cones after the girl's play.

A Brave Tale

Daniela and Krista performed in the play A Brave Tale.  They have been practicing all school year.  They were pretty excited and did a great job!  Way to go girls!

Our Little Giraffe

Ma and Pa

Ali and I got called in to meet with a member of the Stake Presidency tonight.  My only guess of what it could be was that they were going to ask us to be a Ma and a Pa for the Stake Youth Conference this year. Sure enough, that's what they wanted.  So, we will be joining the youth this year for 3 days at the end of June.  It will be a new experience for both of us, but I'm sure it will be fun.  We are excited.  We have some amazing youth in our ward, so we hope we get some of them in our youth conference family.

Barbeque Chicken Pizza

I don't know if I can make homemade pizza anymore while I am on a diet.  I like it too much.  Tonight I had Becca tell me how she made barbeque chicken pizza.  It was so good!  Grant and Brandon really liked it also.   I cut up the chicken into bite size pieces.  I baked it in Sweet Baby Rays barbeque sauce.  I made that Almost Like Papa John's pizza dough, spread some Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce on it, put on some mozzerella cheese, the chicken, and red onions on part of it.  I really liked it with the onions, but I knew Brandon and Grant wouldn't.  It was really good, you should try it.

Another Week

I guess I'll stick with the diet for another week.  I lost 4.8 pounds this week.  I have to keep going and hopefully do just as well this week.  I need to do as well at eating less and exercising.  I do not expect to lose as much weight this week.  At least it has been my experience that I lose that much maybe the first week, but then it goes slower the rest of the way.

$539.50

Over the past few days I have looked through $539.50 in quarters, that's 2,158 quarters!  My mom and dad are looking for a North Dakota and a South Dakota quarter from the Philadelphia mint.  I found some North Dakota ones. I did not find one from South Dakota.  I found plenty from South Dakota, just none from the Philadelphia mint.

Oh, I did go to Curves yesterday, but I did not do the treadmill. I did do it today.  I am excited to weigh myself tomorrow.  Hopefully I have lost some weight.  It would be pretty discouraging if I haven't. We'll see!
