It has been awhile since I wrote. I had a new granddaughter born June 11. My youngest child got married. He is 22 but he is still a child. ALL my children where at the wedding and it was totally awesome. Then back to work and eating good and exercising and all that jazz. I am now in Washington state visiting the baby and the rest of them. It has been really crazy couple of weeks. I have been able to keep up with my exercising and eating. It really is not as hard has you would think. I have been running while here in Washington. There is a really fabulous park with a running trail. I was a lot hesitant to go running on it because there are so many trees and bushes. My son said the only thing I need to Worry about is the deer. Sure thing. I see one each time I go running. We have been eating lots of chicken and we even ate some tilapia. Fresh from the ocean. It was so delicious. FRESH rasberries are on and they are so good. Of course you have to add a little shortcake and whipping cream. It gets budgeted into the day.

Alot has happened over the past few weeks. I have been a bit nutty.

My baby who is 22 got married June 30. I have a son that lives in Washington state that showed up. His cute little wife had a c section June 11th so i was not expecting them to make it. Surprise. My daughter that lives in Chicago safely arrived with husband and two boys and one still in thewarmer. My daughter that lives in Spanish Fork also made it safely with husband and two critters.

I turned in my eating habits today. Wow, I really suck. I don't even eat all my calories. It is no wonders I am tired all the time. It totally amazed me. I can eat more of the right things and be fine. I tend to eat well at work and then at home I am terrible. I have been crock potting alot to have left overs. That has helped. I have gained weight, which is really not a bad thing. I am excercising more. I am just amazed at how crappy I eat. This is awesome for me. I am learning alot about what my diet needs to be like. Thsi has actually been the hardest part for me and I am still struggling with breaking it down into carbs, proteins. calories and such.

I have met with my trainer twice. WOW, I am a bit stiff today. I like that he pushes me but the next day I do not so much like it.
The hardest part for me in all of this is the eating. I struggle with the grams, carbs and figuring it all out.
I do feel better, even though I am stiff alot.

First day

I have weighted in, had my cholesterol checked and given the rules. I am ready to go. I had to go grocery shopping right after for a Bridal Shower. Bad. I did not go down satan's ( the cookie isle), but they but the candy bars right at the check out stand and if you have to wait in line you are in big trouble. I am making mini cheesecakes for the shower. I could eat ten, but I did not.
I look forward to this adventure.
