I'm being such a bad blogger latley.  I just haven't been feeling it. I just haven't been in the mood to blog. PLUS I still can't find my camera with all of my PFM, Christmas, New Years and everything else on it. I'm pretty upset. Not so much about the camera, but the pictures. It has to be at my parents…but where at is the question!

I had the day off on Friday and was able to go to the gym in the morning. It was great. I wish I could go to the gym at 9am every morning.  It is much more fun than 5am or 4pm…its perfect timing.  I cleaned the house when I got back and did a little relaxing.

I've decided that I'm interested in loosing a few lbs and am currently working slowly to make it happen.  I don't want to revert back to my "OLD" habits or over doing my exercise or restricting my food intake, instead i'm shooting for moderation and consistency.  For the past six or seven months I have not focused much on weight loss. My main focus has been figuring myself out. Learning how to eat when I'm hungry and work on becoming stronger physically through exercise.  All I have ever done for what seems like my entire life is "try and loose weight" so when I started making healthy changes, I decided I'd put the goal of "losing weight" on hold until I learned more about my body, understood how it worked and was confident in my choices.  I feel I have reached that spot. I am in a really good place, and am ready towork towards loosing a few lbs.  I'm not in a hurry, I have no time constraint or ridiculous goals…Loosing a few lbs is just something I'd like to achieve and have set out to do. 

OK back to our weekend….

Dave and I went to eat at our favorite restaurant "Tonys". It was AMAZING…no..it was better than amazing. After we ate, we ran some errands and went shopping and then headed home to watch a movie and snuggle on the couch.

Saturday morning we headed to the gym again and got in a great workout.  Did I tell you we joined a new gym. I think I did. Although I don't LOVE the gym…I do love this new elliptical machine. I'm not sure what it's called but its great. I get a great workout and am able to really work my legs and arms at the same time…I really like it.

We went shopping the rest of the day and I got to exchange some of the scents of the lotions I got for Christmas. I now have enough lotion to last me a few years. I got a ton of different scents and am having SO MUCH FUN smelling really good everyday. Later that night we walked across the street (literally) and hung out with our new neighbors. I love them. They are so much fun!  We get along so great, it feels like we've been friends forever.  On Sunday we were asked to speak in Church, it was good to get that out of the way.  I introduced us since we are new and told a little about the two of us and how we met la dee da… Dave talked about his conversion story to the LDS church. I'll have to post it on here one time. Its such a powerful story and he always does such an amazing job sharing it.  I've heard it a million times but never get sick of it. He is so awesome…..i'm feel so lucky to have him. I'm having another one of those times….where I am really really in love with my husband… like a lot. Do you ever have those times? Not like you don't always love them…but sometimes its just different.

This week is looking pretty gloomy.  Dave's grandpa is in the hospital and his mom told us she doesn't know if he will make it through the week. He is 84 years old (although he seems so so young, mentally he is 100% WITH it which makes this so much harder) he has been fighting colon cancer for quite some time now and is not doing well. These types of things are so hard. Dave is heart broken which in turn breaks my heart.  Please keep Dave and his family in your prayers.

I don't have much to blog about…which is why i've been so horrible about posting.  Don't hate. I guess i'm a little burnt out.  But I still love you.

QA: Do you ever get burnt out on blogging?

Hi with a heart over the I means Hi and I luv you! I slept in this morning until 6:50am! That is really great considering I usually get up around 5:00am.  It felt so good, I needed it BIG TIME!! Last night Dave, my Mom, Dad and I spent over 4 hours cleaning the new house.  I didn't think it was going to take anywhere near that long, but oh baby there is a lot to do! We got SO MUCH done, but still have a quite a bit left!  It was so fun to be in the empty house and try to imagine us and our things living there.  We were supposed to close on Thursday or Friday of this week…but it seems like there is always something that comes up with the stupid mortgage company, it might not be until next week now…(tears).  I'm crossing my fingers and praying super hard that we can close on Friday. I already have EVERYTHING lined up for moving on Saturday, so if i have to change it all I might will start crying.

Off subject
Do you ever have days where you realize just how much you love your husband or significant other? Every other day you love them, but some days you just really really really love and appreciate them? In a way you never have before? I'm having one of those days. When I felt Dave next to me this morning I felt warm, comfortable and safe.  When I hugged him goodbye before he left for work, I felt extremely thankful for his hard work and his daily dedication to work so hard for me and our little family. When he emailed me this morning happy as ever with excitement in his words, I felt thankful for his positive attitude and his sweetness.  When I stop and think about him today, I feel happy, safe and excited to see him this afternoon.  I just really really love him today.  I think more than ever I ever have before.  

On a less happy note, my foot is still hurting! I'm so bugged at it!  Saturday we went to the doctor and they took some blood work to test me for Gout.  The blood work came back yesterday and I definitely don't have gout…THANK GOODNESS, however now I am left super confused because I did nothing to hurt it, and it seriously hurts.  Weird thing is there have been two days where I have woken up and the pain was all but gone, then by the middle/end of the day it is hurting again full force! I just can't figure it out. If it keeps going like this all week, I'm going to go get an x-ray.  The doctor gave me a walking cast type thing that helps with the pain when I walk and allows me to not injure the rest of my body by limping, but it does not take away the pain.  I'm starting to get a bit frustrated as it is putting a HUGE kink in my exercise routine.  I feel like I've been the biggest slacker not able to do any cardio, but in the same breath I can't help it. I want to full on work out, but its not possible! I don't want to let it get me down so I'm trying to stay positive and focus on keeping as active as possible!

Yesterdays 4 hours of cleaning was a workout and I needed it! I wasn't sweating too much as it was only 50-60 degrees in the house, but after about 15 minutes my sweat shirt came off and I stayed warm the entire time!  My arms were killing me! We were scrubbing so hard over and over! My upper body is actually sore!  Cleaning is a great way to burn some calories, especially if you do it for hours on end!!

Today we are headed back over to the house to do some more cleaning! Dave is going to put together a few things we got this weekend and I am going to finish the cleaning. We have a bug guy coming to spray the house and kill all th spiders. I hope to never see a spider in that house…EVER! (good news is I didn't run in to any bugs yesterday while cleaning!)

I am going to incorporate a workout into my cleaning today if my foot will allow. I stopped typing just now and wrote out a workout for this afternoon and am excited to give it a try.   I'll take some pictures and share the workout with you tomorrow!!

I've found it frustrating when things out of your control get in the way and make it hard to accomplish the things you desire.  Instead of letting those feelings of frustration overwhelm me, I'm going to stick it to my foot pain and do as much as possible to stay active. It's important for me to remember that I don't have to be gasping for air and sweating my bum off in order to be doing something good for my body each day.  I think that sometimes our bodies need a little change anyhow. Maybe my foot is telling my brain that it does not want high impact right now….who knows? Maybe it's tired of me working it so hard! Either way I plan on making the best out of my situation by trying new things and  staying positive through this experience!

QA:
What do you do to stay active when you don't feel good or have an injury that limits what you can do?  IDEAS Please!!!

(UPDATE, Dave read this post and said I picked a bad picture and that this post is weird…lol…I disagree to both his comments)

Take a look at this

Now this

And now this

WT FREAK! Resemblance much? Or is it just me? (can't be just me!!)
The first time I watched Heroes, I couldn't stop laughing at my husband look alike on screen playing a serial killer, killing people! Dave looks a lot like SYLAR (Zachary Quinto)/ (Dave is much better looking..duh) but similar right!?

Sometimes when we are, in the dark, I look at him and think, "Don't kill me Sylar". (lol) In the dark and with my blurry eyes it's hard to know if its Dave or Sylar!! 

This post has no point. I am excited to watch Hero's tonight, is that a good enough reason to post?? Hope so!
