Thanksgiving

We had a great and bad Thanksgiving with Jared's family this year. Great because we got to spend time with family and bad because I was sick most of the time we were there. And not just the normal stuffy nose sick it was stomach flu sick so lots of throw up and time in the bathroom. It helped my diet immensely though! I was already doing great and being disciplined but this definitely helped quench my appetite.

Jared made a promise to his niece Richelle when he got home from his mission that he would take her to the Sky City Restaurant at the top of the Space Needle, so lucky me I got to tag along 5 years later and it was pretty cool, the view was Phenomenal! Food was expensive so it is something that you do once and say yup been there done that.
 I finally got to meet Jared's Brother-In-Law for the first time( it only took 4 years) and since the whole family was together was got a new family picture. First one I was in! Yeah! I wore these awesome boots that I scored on Amazon for $40, I am on the left end. I am excited to see how the other pictures turned out. Pretty cool park we took pictures at right? I never realized how big Jared's family is until we took this picture. I am used to my tiny family. It was a blast being with everyone though.
We came home early Monday morning and we were both out of work Monday and Tuesday cause we were so sick, I hate being sick, especially stomach flu sick I mean who has the stomach flu for 4 days straight? apparently I do... it gave me a chance to make some Christmas gifts and catch up on wrapping them.

For my birthday this year my wonderful AWESOME husband is treating me to a new wardrobe because I have stuck to my weight loss goal, I am pretty excited especially since it is before our Hawaii trip. Too bad they don't sell shorts in the winter, I may have to convert some jeans into shorts.
Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving!

Tough n Dirty

This past weekend I signed up my family to do a 5K Fun Mud Run. And boy was it FUN! It was a little cold but the day was sunny and we had a blast. My mom did it with us but took pictures which is awesome cause we got a bunch of cool ones. See below





 This was obviously before the race




We had a blast and are still cleaning out mud from our ears! We are excited to begin the holidays next week and see family and friends. I am trying to plan ahead what I am eating that way I don't ruin all my hard work of dieting.

Diet Update:
By the way I am down a total of 25 pounds! yeah!  It felt good the other day when I was searching for a pair of jeans to wear and I found some at the bottom of the pile which were my 'save until I am a little skinnier jeans' and when I put them on they were a little big! SCORE! I have a few more weeks to hit my goal and I can do it! I ordered smaller bathing suits for Hawaii so I definitely have to get down my goal now otherwise I will be swimming naked!
