Day 5




Hi Everyone!

I lost some points yesterday.  Well after 8:30pm I saw that Hank had left his muffin top on the table when he went to bed and I ate it. I had been at sprouts to stock up on vegetables and got them these really unhealthy muffins.  So I lost my don't eat after 8:30pm points.  So sad.  It was really good, though. I counted the muffin top as one of my negative food freebies.

I've been enjoying a lot of roasted vegetables but I'm so, so sad that blue cheese isn't on the neutral list.  It's on the limited neutral list and I want it every day on my vegetables. It gets all melty and delicious.  So I'm going to see if I can find a low fat blue cheese. I'm not sure it's out there.  Today I used Feta, which will do, but my love of blue cheese has grown so strong the last couple of months. It adds so much flavor with just a little sprinkle.

I sent you all invitations to this blog so you can post on it. I thought I had done it earlier but I  don't think I did it right.  So I sent them out again last night.

To answer JQ's question about the spiritual side of things, it's going well for me.  I have had a hard time with regular scripture study in my post kid life.  Mostly because I'm so tired at night so it's not a good study and my mornings are crazy.  I've started the Book of Mormon again since it is part of personal progress.  I have still been doing it at night but I've been trying to go to bed earlier. I've been having good success and I'm feeling the spirit.  I told Jayleen that I have to stop all or nothing thinking as far as scripture study goes.  If I can't get in a solid half an hr of intense study then I have to do what I can do. Some is better than none.  So though my reading hasn't been the best in my life, I am doing it and I feel really great about it.  My prayers have been good too. I'm trying to pray out loud and kneeling, after a lesson we taught the young women about prayer.  It really helps me stay focused and be more present.  Sometimes Lula is with me in the morning and in the evenings I do it while Willie is playing guitar in the basement.  So I'm feeling good and feel an increase in the spirit.

My trainer is moving and I'm starting with a new trainer after next week. I'm hoping it's a good fit.  I have had three trainers so far and I really liked my first one best.  I switched when I was pregnant for an easier class then kind of got stuck there. I'm hoping to get back to something a little more challenging.  I really like a hard workout.  Jayleen, I'm going to start up with John Ball (Teddy's trainer).

How are you all doing?
