Food 4 Thought Friday!

Food 4 Thought Friday!

A little feast without the calories!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Breakfast What are you relieved about this week?
Hmmmm, I guess I'm relieved that Kim got his car fixed so that I can have my car back. I hate relying on others to get where I am going.

Lunch How is this week different than last week?
Last week I felt that I was handling all of the stresses of school pretty well, this week I realized that I was just having a lull in the work - and now it has hit full force, I am feeling buried.

Dinner What is something you have mixed emotions about right now?
Continuing my education. It is so easy to say that I will be "done" in 11 months, but honestly, I am thinking that I will eventually have to go on, so I may as well just continue while I am in "the mode".

Midnight Snack What is weighing you down right now?
Trying to balance everything, keep everybody happy and lose 50 pounds before my Hawaii trip in August. I just can't seem to keep my eating and exercise habits under control while trying to balance everything else.

Recipe of the Week (instead of your recipe for life what is it just for the week?
Try to get in a little exercise - enjoy it an not feel guilty that it isn't more.

Yea! You played! Love your answers. I agree with your thoughts about continuing your education....you are right, you might as well continue while you are in the mode. It will be harder to get back in the mode once you are out.
Super excited for your Hawaii trip! You do NOT need to lose 50 lbs! Just go and enjoy Paradise and soak it all in without any stress or worries. You deserve it girl!

Hey, I actually made a blog comment! I haven't done that is months and months... maybe even over a year! hehe

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
