Next Thursday, March 5, the California Supreme Court will hear oral arguments to determine whether the sovereign will of the people should be upheld, and whether marriage between only a man and a woman will stand. </div> <div> This is the most important legal issue impacting families in a generation. The outcome of this case is “do or die” for traditional marriage. If the California Supreme Court were to overrule the vote of the people (for the second time) it would not be long before homosexual marriage is the law of the land across this country. </div> <div> ProtectMarriage.com, the committee responsible for enacting Prop 8, urges you and all our supporters to take action. We are declaring this Sunday, March 1, to be a <strong> Day of Prayer for Marriage </strong> . </div> <div> Proposition 8 was supported by over 7 million voters, and we call on those who support traditional marriage to pray for it to be upheld. Please ask the Lord for wisdom for the Justices of the California Supreme Court. Pray, also, for those who oppose this amendment to our Constitution, that they would understand our motivation is to affirm traditional marriage, not to offend any person or group. </div> <div> Activists who oppose Prop 8 are organizing a candlelight vigil in several cities for March 4, followed by a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court building in San Francisco on March 5. Organizers against Prop 8 are calling for a march of 100,000 people to the Court building ( <a href="http://link.smartcommunicator.net/?135-233-244-45355-1502" shape="rect" target="_blank"> click here </a> to view their events list). It has come to our attention that many Prop 8 supporters are also making plans to appear at the steps of the Supreme Court building on the morning of March 5. <strong> We welcome your participation </strong> , but request that all messages on homemade signs affirm traditional marriage, avoiding offensive statements regarding alternative lifestyles. If you are in close proximity to San Francisco, plan to arrive by 8 a.m. at the court, located at 350 McAllister. We do not wish to provoke or permit any kind of confrontation with our opponent s. Please avoid any such activity carefully. Our only purpose is to remind the media, Californians and Americans everywhere that support for traditional marriage is the majority position in the state. Twice now voters have supported traditional marriage and rejected gay marriage. We won the Prop 8 election. The constitution has been amended. The will of the people should now prevail. </div> <div> ProtectMarriage.com is the only group that will appear before the Supreme Court to uphold the vote of the people enacting Prop 8 and affirm traditional marriage as the law of the land. The upcoming <strong> Day of Prayer </strong> will provide a vehicle for all our supporters to express their own support for traditional marriage and to call on God, the author of marriage, to bless the arguments our attorneys will present to the Court and to grant the justices wisdom as they consider the arguments. </div> <div> Thank you for your support of Proposition 8. Please participate in the <strong> Day of Prayer </strong> this coming Sunday and, if you are in proximity to San Francisco, come to the steps of the Supreme Court building at 8 a.m. on March 5 to show your support for Prop 8. </div> <div> <strong> To make a financial contribution to the Proposition 8 Legal Defense Fund, </strong> <a href="http://link.smartcommunicator.net/?135-233-244-45355-1506" shape="rect" target="_blank"> <strong> click here </strong> </a> <strong> . </strong> </div> <div> Thank you so much for your attention and support. <br /> <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> <br /> Ron Prentice <br /> Chairman <br /> ProtectMarriage.com, Yes on 8 </div> <p style=""> <span style=""> <a href="http://link.smartcommunicator.net/?135-233-244-45355-1504" shape="rect" target="_blank"> www.protectmarriage.com </a> </span> </p> </div>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621504363921066182noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671463231733223623.post-51773375738359173202009-01-01T14:06:00.000-08:002009-01-01T15:18:53.601-08:00A New Begining Starting Weight 362.1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNxjV9UklKt6Q74E-hl4Omz5RL3rIzm2sR2ZbaQKLNO6MQYpFRzR6r2dcXKv6zLTjWw8HOOUODXiFEDHGpX4PaQJ88Unz7USX4lA1vpNf5GeD0Ym5Vj3Qss_BJmSUPOZzBEaoU0safnTM/s1600-h/Julie+Mexico+290.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNxjV9UklKt6Q74E-hl4Omz5RL3rIzm2sR2ZbaQKLNO6MQYpFRzR6r2dcXKv6zLTjWw8HOOUODXiFEDHGpX4PaQJ88Unz7USX4lA1vpNf5GeD0Ym5Vj3Qss_BJmSUPOZzBEaoU0safnTM/s320/Julie+Mexico+290.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286452523113764722" border="0" /></a><br />So I am back. This has been a great few months of eating since I stoped writing on the blog in May. I ate alot of fast food, full strength soda and and did I mention soda. I think I have a little problem. On our recent cruise to Mexico I think that they lost money on me when it came to my soda card. I cost $48 dollars for the 8 days. I got my money worth. The guys at the bar got tired of seeing me every few minutes or so. I am happy to report that I have put back all the weight that I had removed at the beginning of 2008. I think I even added a little more. You can never say I am not a giver. Any way sorry for the let down of the previous year. I am going to try and try and try again. A little back ground on the picture, when we got to Cobo it was so hot and so alot of the other nice looking gentleman had there shirts off so I thought why not. I think I brought it.<br /><br />P.S. The picture at the top of my blog is dedicated to my mother-in-law. I knew she would want to see it every time she came to my blog.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">These are some of the things that I will be doing this year to stay in shape.<br /></div><table style="width: 371px; height: 592px;" align="center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" align="center"><strong>HIGH BURN ACTIVITIES</strong></td> <td style="background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" align="center"><strong>CALS BURNED IN 30 MIN.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">aerobics: low impact</td> <td align="center">170</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">aerobics: high impact</td> <td align="center">238</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">elliptical trainer: general</td> <td align="center">213</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">calisthenics: vigorous, jumping jacks, push-ups, sit-ups, pullups</td> <td align="center">272</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">weight lifting: light/moderate</td> <td align="center">108</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">weight lifting: vigorous</td> <td align="center">207</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">running: 6.7 mph (9 min/mile)</td> <td align="center">374</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">walk: 4 mph (15 min/mi)</td> <td align="center">170</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">stretching: mild, hatha yoga</td> <td align="center">85</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">ice skating: moderate intensity</td> <td align="center">238</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">sledding, toboggan, bobsled</td> <td align="center">238</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">skiing/snowboarding: downhill, moderate effort</td> <td align="center">204</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">operating a snow blower: walking</td> <td align="center">153</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">shoveling snow: by hand</td> <td align="center">238</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">vacuuming</td> <td align="center">119</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">cleaning house: general, light</td> <td align="center">87</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">decorating Christmas tree</td> <td align="center">85</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">food shopping: with cart</td> <td align="center">78</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">christmas shopping</td> <td align="center">78</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">playing w/kids: moderate effort</td> <td align="center">153</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">baking and food preparation</td> <td align="center">136</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">Unloading car</td> <td align="center">102</td></tr> </tbody></table> <p> </p> <table style="width: 369px; height: 223px;" align="center" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" align="center"><strong>LOW BURN ACTIVITIES</strong></td> <td style="background-color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" align="center"><strong>CALS BURNED IN 30 MIN.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">reading: sitting</td> <td align="center">44</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">standing in line: light, holding items</td> <td align="center">68</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">sitting, watching TV</td> <td align="center">34</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">writing Christmas cards</td> <td align="center">61</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">wrapping gifts</td> <td align="center">51</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">socializing, standing</td> <td align="center">61</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">playing cards</td> <td align="center">51</td></tr></tbody></table>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621504363921066182noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671463231733223623.post-25794220358512145272008-05-14T10:53:00.001-07:002008-05-14T14:44:08.767-07:00Nick Week Nineteen 313.5 {-9.9} Total Loss 47.6<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0aHQ6oYtslhWWPP0ziBb8jb2VpX3aXw6nz9MiYYnZ5bCZcBzcuwhAw6F_r_g6iRtsLNQjvXdp-jL2yjKaJ4cwG1cLPTex0Kzo8kTRnG2ajGJbywd56LknMzh6jcgMkybpGkzF_E8raJMe/s1600-h/DSC00646.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0aHQ6oYtslhWWPP0ziBb8jb2VpX3aXw6nz9MiYYnZ5bCZcBzcuwhAw6F_r_g6iRtsLNQjvXdp-jL2yjKaJ4cwG1cLPTex0Kzo8kTRnG2ajGJbywd56LknMzh6jcgMkybpGkzF_E8raJMe/s400/DSC00646.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200293499653759506" border="0" /></a><br /> Well it has been a while since I have posted. I just have not been into taking the time to post. I am still felling good about my weight. I have just decided that this is the way that I am going to live my life (losing weight) so I am not going to post pictures for the rest of my life, so I thought that I would do it every couple of weeks. I do need to get out and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">exercise</span> more. I have been using the excuse of golfing as my form of exercising. It is good <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">exercise</span> walking for four hours. I have been doing that at least once a week. and sometimes more if Nicole <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">allows, I mean time</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Anyhoo</span> not that anybody cares but there it is.

I'm back after taking a week off of blogging. I guess I just got busy. Last week I did weigh in and I was 339.8 so I lost a pound in week 16 and 2.2 more this past week. I've been doing really well and I just CAN'T WAIT until I am back down below 300 lbs. I feel really good but I know I will feel amazing when I get to my goal weight of 250. <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I did have a bit of a setback 2 weeks ago. I was playing basketball, as I usually do every thursday night, and my foot came down hard on someone else's foot (poor guy) and the next morning I could barely walk on it. I was hoping I just bruised it but everyone is saying that it is probably plantar fasciitis. Which means I probably won't be able to play basketball for a few weeks which sucks really bad because it was the only really HARD exercise I got. I bike 40 miles a week but basketball is a lot more intense. So I'm pretty bummed but I guess I just have to make up for it by eating even better than I am.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Since this blog is our story about our journey to getting "sexy" I thought I would share a funny story from the other night. I DJ the youth dances at church and a girl from a different stake came up and I thought she was going to request a song, but instead she asked me to dance!!!! I didn't know what to say because she had made the trip from her group of friends all the way up to the stage and I felt really bad but I said " Uh...I'm married" and she said surprised "YOUR MARRIED??!!" and I said " I have 2 daughters" and so she turned red and ran away back to her friends. It was pretty funny but also pretty awkward. <br /><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671463231733223623.post-45114809105031225742008-04-17T19:17:00.000-07:002008-04-17T19:31:55.856-07:00David week 15...340.8 lbs.

I know! I know! Where have I been for the last few weeks. I have lots of excuses but I will not bore you with them. I do have to say sorry to all my loyal fans, who check the blog weekly and then they get nothing. I will be better. Shout out to Big Dave for doing so well at losing weight and also getting his blog on every week. If only we could all be that committed. I have not exercised much lately but have been working lots. The working lots has probably been the reason for the weight loss. I know that I need to get back to the gym. It is so hard taking that first step after not going for so long. You would think I would go since I am paying for it. I just like to know it is there if I want it. I get home from work so tired and then the thought of having to go work out when I feel like I have worked out all day just does not sound great. I Have to say Nicole suggests it often but I always have an excuse. I SUCK! Just do it dummy. I will, just shut up about it all ready. Sorry just a conversation I was having with myself. Well off to the gym, I mean to watch T.V.

Today Kenji said he thinks he's going to try to do a triathalon in August and it got me thinking that that would be a great goal for me to try in 2009. So I think I'm going to shoot for it. I guess I better start swimming.

This past week was awesome for me. I only lost about a pound, but it feels good. I rode 32 miles on my bike last week. 24 to work and back and 8 with my brother James on my day off. I really am enjoying it. It's not the most intense exercise, but its good for me right now at the weight I am. Jogging is just too hard on my knees. I also bench pressed 285 lbs. which is more than I could lift in a long time. My goal is to bench press 350 lbs. I also timed myself in the 40 yard dash and didn't do too bad. My goal for that is to run a 4.9, which is fast for a big man.<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>As far as eating goes I did really well. I've been drinking protein shakes a lot and just eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Easter was hard.

I did eat the same as usual. Nicole says that I did not put the most effort into this week but if you call eating a lot less and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">a lot</span> healthier than I used to no effort, then I guess I did nothing. I have to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">admit</span> that I did not do much <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">exercising</span> this week. I was real busy with work and frankly I just could not get the motivation to go. I guess I have those weeks. I am sure this next week I will go more.

So I was about 376 lbs.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq1JkKNy5lPA2Vsi2kZZZBALFnsxr6OYWxY718qhDwia-fjiSYNQqrPBUBV1eAp2fkyEmLN60mMMD0FHNaCO6spxYCNAR5Uaxh9akyjaAlzDsOvLXs0ufEq9fmhCKS46G61daKKyJgwCy4/s1600-h/1+mommy+and+daddys+engagement+photo.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq1JkKNy5lPA2Vsi2kZZZBALFnsxr6OYWxY718qhDwia-fjiSYNQqrPBUBV1eAp2fkyEmLN60mMMD0FHNaCO6spxYCNAR5Uaxh9akyjaAlzDsOvLXs0ufEq9fmhCKS46G61daKKyJgwCy4/s200/1+mommy+and+daddys+engagement+photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168740810571289922" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDEEVgXvHZ3i1a8OpTSX9DlD1XeFSdgNeaUtCZRBV2uHiaf1NVKY6rklAMUopFO3JVB-mf3-BhVBEb4qQExQXX3g3aC-Uj0I7dYxanzxtqGKk1-SfWwN4GX5SvyP45FpH4vdoNAsIoIgS/s1600-h/IMG_2615.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDEEVgXvHZ3i1a8OpTSX9DlD1XeFSdgNeaUtCZRBV2uHiaf1NVKY6rklAMUopFO3JVB-mf3-BhVBEb4qQExQXX3g3aC-Uj0I7dYxanzxtqGKk1-SfWwN4GX5SvyP45FpH4vdoNAsIoIgS/s200/IMG_2615.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168738388209734962" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671463231733223623.post-40276980919715161912008-02-19T07:07:00.000-08:002008-02-19T08:39:28.165-08:00Nick Week Seven 335.7 {-.9lbs} Total Loss 25.3<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNkhDMsTBayMwYROzsifPK6NfFi3qdYZ4DkInSHoKHJuaI2KuP1Q5dJk1jT4VhyiKOOWRm9w71Xt02g0WKUU5cGtsxCDvVpMwB7EEE4TIPpMTnS-eR9z51dDb9l1imW4pHp5OOR3XfjuEr/s1600-h/DSC00314.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNkhDMsTBayMwYROzsifPK6NfFi3qdYZ4DkInSHoKHJuaI2KuP1Q5dJk1jT4VhyiKOOWRm9w71Xt02g0WKUU5cGtsxCDvVpMwB7EEE4TIPpMTnS-eR9z51dDb9l1imW4pHp5OOR3XfjuEr/s320/DSC00314.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168712104704393298" border="0" /></a><br />Well not the biggest weight loss number that I have put up since I started eating healthy. I have to admit that it is pretty good considering the food that was in my house weekend. Nicole's family was in town for Kristine's first trip to the temple. it was also Hallie and Avery's birthday party. On Saturday I had my protein shake for breakfast and then did not eat until dinner time. By that time I was so hungry that I could have eaten a house. So we went to Jack in the Crack and I felt like I needed the biggest hamburger on the menu and then 2 tacos. Not the best decision that I have ever made. Then on Sunday I snacked a little more than I should have. All in all not the way that I used to eat but more than I should eat. I still need to get control of myself in the party settings. At least I had a loss and not a gain like someone else. I did not get to the gym once this week. Need to do better. Happy birthday Hallie.

Total loss 19.4 lbs.Well at least I didn't GAIN this week huh?? YEAH!!! Playing basketball has saved me because I hadn't got into an exercise routine until, finally, this week on Monday. I have been riding a bike for cardio and lifting weights. Today was the first day I tried to ride my bike to work. It was a nice ride there, but the freaking wind came out of nowhere in the afternoon and it was HELL riding home! I think I could have walked faster than I was riding it was horrible, but hey I probably burned twice the calories. I'm doing okay with my eating habits. A lot better than before, but after the first month it seems my cravings are getting worse not better which is pretty annoying. I've had a cold this week and I hope that is why I feel drained of energy because usually exercise and dieting give me more energy, but I have been feeling sluggish this week. I NEED A RED BULL!!!!

I think that I only missed a couple of days. I started using the eliptical machine. It kicked my butt at first but I got used to it and I love it. It makes the time go by faster than when I rode the bike. I have kept up my good eating. It is starting to just become the way I eat. I did drink a couple of sodas this week but it was not what it used to be. I will have one once in awhile but stick to water. I like the water because I love the fealing of flushing out my system, I just have to pee every ten minutes . I just feel so much better about myself. I can really tell that work is getting a little easier with the pounds that I have shed. I just want it to all be gone and have a clean slate. I guess it will happen just not as fast as I want it. Happy Valentines day Nicole, I love you.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11215316147819715280noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671463231733223623.post-29465557908031421092008-02-05T14:35:00.000-08:002008-02-05T14:43:30.849-08:00David week 5..360.6 (+2.2lbs.) Total loss 16lbs.DANGIT!!!!!!!! It hasn't been a stellar week for me. I did pretty good until Saturday. The Amavisca's had us over for their daughters birthday party and there were all sorts of snacks along with PIZZA. Lets just say that I enjoyed myself. Then on Sunday my family came over for the Super Bowl and I had hot dogs, chips, baked beans, and cheesecake. WOOOPS!!! I guess I deserve those 2 extra pounds. I have no excuses...I am ashamed and I plan on doing better next week.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671463231733223623.post-44852674753627278232008-02-05T07:45:00.000-08:002008-02-05T08:32:59.781-08:00Nick Week Five 338.1 {-5.5lbs} Total Loss 22.9<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqZHJSnVpag4KljVn64ZWZCUB-plDNIL4a2IjRdPS7KZu6YosPFpNfB6kAMrIR1XoB005gdU-NaeO3H7dBQTs5uMQtnw5_55yl4oRKp241QnwIRVNJvdzfhpkRM0AIFprxXf1oHVtqS2Ax/s1600-h/DSC00218.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqZHJSnVpag4KljVn64ZWZCUB-plDNIL4a2IjRdPS7KZu6YosPFpNfB6kAMrIR1XoB005gdU-NaeO3H7dBQTs5uMQtnw5_55yl4oRKp241QnwIRVNJvdzfhpkRM0AIFprxXf1oHVtqS2Ax/s320/DSC00218.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163531542091495234" border="0" /></a><br />Turned out to be a good week with weight loss. I thought that it being Supper Bowl Sunday would cause me some problems but it was fast Sunday so that helped. It left room for all the crap that I ate Sunday night. I still feel like I need to get control over my eating at party's. I don't think that I went totally crazy but I did not use a plate and I just hovered over the food and snapped at anybody that came close and told them that it was all mine. I think that people were offended. I worked out a couple of times this week but I ate really well. The way I eat is starting to become a habit and I think that I somewhat have control over it. So to end I need to work on my party manners. Get a plate and fill it up and then that is it. Be happy with what I have. I am starting to see some differrence in how my cloths fit. I am just so fat that 22 lbs just is not as noticeable as if I weighed 150 lbs. Till next week good by and good day.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11215316147819715280noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671463231733223623.post-41865163683471198732008-01-29T16:42:00.000-08:002008-02-05T08:34:42.507-08:00David week 4 -358.4 (-4.2 lbs.) Total loss 18.2 lbs.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It's been a good week. I was able to run 2 days and play basketball 2 days as well so I think that really helped. I did pretty good as far as eating goes. Yesterday I did have a Costco hot dog...mmmmm... but atleast I didn't have my usual chicken bake and slice of pizza to go along with it. Once again...yes, I'm serious. It feels kind of good confessing my old eating habits. It really comes down to trying. It's pretty simple... burn more calories than you take in and its like magic the weight comes right off. What I'm most excited about is that this is the first time that I don't feel like I'm starving myself or anything. I really think I can keep this up for the rest of my life. I sure hope so.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671463231733223623.post-63899632779956599702008-01-29T09:52:00.000-08:002008-01-29T20:56:17.487-08:00Nick Week Four 343.6 {2.8 lbs} Total Loss 17.4<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVLRqYFyAQ3wL5WV1o0x6EvcHJuiV-cQAj5wsMxsxH50nhBfPVDqHEbaCjsLoBv1yrV5RQPFJz1xitpm8AzB4D5xhI6ABPIYnH4briSMyxAawUHic_V0otzho_XVbREpYddw2EWJ55NBbQ/s1600-h/DSC00215.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160963628389857026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVLRqYFyAQ3wL5WV1o0x6EvcHJuiV-cQAj5wsMxsxH50nhBfPVDqHEbaCjsLoBv1yrV5RQPFJz1xitpm8AzB4D5xhI6ABPIYnH4briSMyxAawUHic_V0otzho_XVbREpYddw2EWJ55NBbQ/s320/DSC00215.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Once again another challenging week. Nicole's grandmother died this last week so the funeral was last Saturday in St. George, UT. So she took the two older girls, Hallie and Avery to Utah with her. I was left at home with the little ones, Hayden and Jaxton. I have to admit that I was a little nervous to be by my self for the first time since I started eating healthy. There would be no one here to hold me accountable for the things that I ate. I did it though. I ate really well. The only thing is no one was here to watch the kids while I went to the gym. So I did not get much working out in other than chasing Hayden around cleaning up her constant mess. I know now that I can do this. It will take a while but it will be worth it. Nicole is going to be out of town for a couple of days this week with all the kids so I am going to go to the gym, for sure. I have no excuses. My goal for next week is to be in the 330's. That is only 3.2 pounds, no problem.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11215316147819715280noreply@blogger.com3
