tis the plan stan!

so, after all this hard work of losing weight i have been trying to come up with a plan in order to keep the weight off.. since i have seen some people go off this thing and gain it all back, and then i have seen my sis-in-law who has lost over sixty pounds and has been able to keep it off. oh, and when i say hard work, i mean it! no, i'm not going out and working my butt off, but eating the same food day in and day out with hardly any flavor and resisting the temptation to eat bad food has definitely been tough.. i dunno if it's just been that way for me since i love candy and potato chips, but this has been no walk in the park! near the beginning i came close to quitting, but luckily i have kept with it, and occasionally i'll get a little thought in my head that maybe it'd be easier to quit and just try and work out, but i am determined to finish this!!

okay, so back to my plan to keep it off! i figured the number one way for me to actually do this was to write it down so i would be able to see that i am going to try and make this commitment! okay, so i have heard quite a few girls talk about the work-out dvd thirty day shred and it's done by jillian michaels and they all say it's awesome! apparently it's only a twenty minute workout a day but i hear it's an awesome one so i figure it's worth a try and it'd be easy to fit in my day, because who really can't squeeze in twenty minutes? also, i am planning on eating pretty decently healthy, although i am also being real and know that i will want to eat some not so healthy stuff.. so i am going to give myself a cheat day once a week.. probably a saturday, but it will also depend on my work schedule! so i think with eating healthy most of the week and doing a twenty minute hardcore workout a day i will hopefully be able to mantain the weight that i lose and possibly shed another extra pound or two before the hubster gets home!!

oh, and can i just tell you how much i love general conference?! yep! i do! the past two times i have been in california and the only way for me to watch it was to watch it on my computer and i love that in utah you can just turn on your television and there it is! i love that next year rey will pretty much be out of the marines since he gets out october 15th 2011 and that we can be here in utah watching general conference together! it will be amazing!! plus, the past two times rey hasn't even been able to watch since last time he was out on the ship training, and the time before that he was at bridgeport! oh the lovely marine corps! he should hopefully be able to watch in the spring, but once again we will probably have to watch on my computer which doesn't seem all that much fun.. but it will work! ooooh! perhaps we could even get tickets next year and rey and i could go in person.. i think he would love that!! well, that's all for now!!

peace in the middle east,
