This years goals I made for myself are...
- Learn about, and ask for a new spiritual gift from our Heavenly Father.
- Say yes more often to good things I would normally be afraid of trying.
- Loosing weight and keeping it off with my new lifestyle I am implementing (already lost 25 pounds!)
- Learning more, or even taking a class about my oils, emotion code, foot zoning, etc.
- Realizing I am blessed and happy EVERY day!
As you can see I have some work to do.
=Last week we went to Bear Lake with a couple friends. D and I got there early so we took Loki to the beach while it was sunny. (Oh by the way we got a 9 month old dachshund a few months ago) Which was the only time it was sunny, go figure. Anyways! He had a blast!! It was HILARIOUS to watch him run and jump like crazy. He was sniffing all around and fetching twigs out of the shallow part of the lake. Then we came inside and fell asleep for a good while.
During the weekend we had so much fun playing games, ate tons of crappy food- some which were cooked over the fire (accept for me with my diet. I didn't cheat once!), We talked and told stories around a fire, watched movies. It was a great weekend to get away and have some good fun.
On the way home D and I were able to have a really good talk. I love having heart to hearts with that big guy. They're the greatest! There's a few things we want to change and we for sure have a "Plan B" if "Plan A" isn't going to pan out in a few months. Or if it does, implement plan B into plan A. I am so excited and scared for the leaps of faith we will be making for our future and to see what life unfolds.
You are also probably wondering about my diet too, huh? Long story short, theres a lady in my ward who lost over 100 lbs due to getting rid of the bad flora and most of the Candida Albanians in her gut and body. I don't even remember how she contacted me and told me about it. But all of a sudden I started coming to her wellness classes (over seen by a doctor) 3 weeks ago and our group is on a strict diet. Mainly no dairy, sugar, or wheat. And sometimes depending on the day no meat or no fruit. Right now I can't have nuts, any kind of beans or rice either. And I have to drink half my weight in ounces of water every day.
Its really not bad at all. I don't really crave sugar any more. My skin is a lot less bumpy, I don't get headaches anymore, I am more happy, have a ton more energy, I even got my period back after 4 years of that not happening by itself! My body is just loving and flourishing this new change. So far on this diet I have lost 15 pounds (I lost 10 before I started this). I am not setting a goal for how much I want to loose because Ill stop trying after that. But if I keep eating right I will be able to maintain my weight loss throughout my life. Every once in a while I will allow myself a cheat day. It wont be once a week. It will be for a holiday or a very special occasion so I don't go overboard. But in any case, I am glad I have found something my body is happy with and is easy for me and not breaking the bank.
Dave is good. He is still traveling a ton and is so done with his current job. We're still hoping and praying he gets this job in AZ, but we will just have to see what the Lord gives us.
We are still waiting on embryos and are slowly getting our adoption.com thing up and running.
Oh! we are also moving into my parents basement at the middle to end of next month. We are saving up for a home. We are so grateful to them for taking us aside and talking to us and teaching us and helping us throughout life. I don't know where we would be without there love, knowledge and care.
