With the New Year, Justin and I have been working on resolutions that sometimes are hard to keep or just end up never happening.
Well, ours were pretty much the same...
Read our Bibles more
Devotionals
Being active/working out
Dieting/Loosing weight
For me the first few weeks went great. I was on the Wii fit around 3-4 times a week for around 30 minutes or more. We bought Just Dance and Just Dance 2 to change up our routine so we don't get bored. Let me just say Just Dance 2 is an amazing game. I love it and I think Justin really enjoys it. He's really good at it. If you know the real Jasmine Emerson you'd know I'm competitive but I've been a good sport since I know he has years of DDR on me.
Dieting has been great. Justin has lost around 14lbs since 1/1/11 and I've lost 7 lbs. Only 12 more to go for me and I might go for an extra 5lbs. Justin has around 36lbs to loose for his goal weight. We both have been eating lots of veggies, fruit, chicken, turkey and fish, occasionally. Last time I dieted I got bored and hated chicken. I've been looking up lots of recipes and have done lots of marinating. I've never made a meatloaf by myself but have made AWESOME turkey meatloaf and turkey meatballs. It's been a great cooking experience for me. Justin sometimes will make dinner or lunches for us. It's normally easier for me to cook before he gets home so we can eat before 6:30pm (We really try to eat before 7pm). He normally will cook on Sundays. I'm glad I have a husband who helps in the kitchen and around the house. He really is amazing.
Bibles and Devotionals went great for about 2 weeks for me and I've been slacking. I don't have an excuses except I forget and just need to stop and get my act together. ;) Justin has to do a devotional for his Men's group on Thursday mornings... so he's doing better then I am. Plus he has school and that requires him to open his Bible.
On to what put all of my resolutions on the back burner for a good week... Wisdom Teeth. Tuesday, January 25, 11 They took my horrible wisdom teeth and I was messed up till about Saturday. I normally work at Genesis Church on Thursday and Fridays. Thursday my mouth was still in pain and woke up with a horrible headache. Friday I went in and wasn't really with it but got stuff done for Sunday. When they said make sure you have a few days to relax I thought oh I'll be good by Thursday... I was so wrong. Justin had to stay home Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday at 5am I woke up to change my gauze and almost passed out. We figured my blood sugar and calories have been cut and so my body was having a hard time. On top of the pain from my wisdom teeth being removed the Dr let me swallow a piece of my tooth and my throat was sore for days. I ended up getting a huge canker sore where it hit the back on my mouth. It's slowly getting better day by day. Today I went in for my 1 week check-up and they said everything looks great and I'm healing up nicely. Hopefully that means now I get back on all of my resolutions...
Oh and for some reason they sent these home with me. :) Kinda gross...
Justin and I our counting down the months till spring and summer come. It's been sunny the past few days and cold. We'd like sunny and warm. :) We miss Coeur d'Alene and taking our raft out on the lake. In the next few weeks I'll be leaving to California to help my grandparents out. My Grandma is having knee surgery and they are completely replacing her knee. Grand-Paul will be in and out of the house to see my Grandma at the hospital. They've asked me to stay with my Great Grandma. Great Grandma Julie has the beginning stages of dementia. She cant be left alone so instead of Paul having to worry about her and packing her up to see my Grandma they thought they'd ask if I'd come out and be with her. I'm excited to see them all and I'm really hoping for the weather to be in around 75 and SUNNY. ;) It's not going to be a vacation but it's not going to be work either. I will miss my handsome hubby but I know we will survive.
We hope everyone has a great year!
<3 my nephew :)
