Adventures in Yogaland

So a couple of weeks ago I declared to the world that I wanted to loose some

extra poundage that has been put on lately.

Well, I have a few back problems so most ordinary exercises are not comfortable.

So I have been looking for new things to try out to help me get my heart rate up and

BURN SOME FAT!!!

So I have the P90X videos and I decided to put in the one labeled Yoga.

I figured this couldn't be too painful, right?

WRONG!

Please don't get offended by this next comment because it is only intended for myself.

I don't think Yoga was invented for Fatty's.

I lasted about 30 minutes before falling over in pain because I don't think my body was

ever meant to bend like that.

Even though I was only doing the moves with a DVD, I could feel the downward facing dog getting the best of me and my love handles!

I think this program is intended for people who have lost the major poundage and are

looking for a way to tone up.

As I hope to someday fall into that category, I can honestly say that I definitely have a long way to go.

Needless to say, I don't think I will be venturing into Yogaland until I have lost some significant weight.

Ah, don't you just love exercise??

(I hope everyone sensed the sarcasm in the above sentence)

Night Out

Tuesday night I had the chance to go out with my Visiting Teacher's, Terri & Bev!!

We had the BEST time. We went to Gecko Grill and chatted and ate.

This is my kind of visiting teaching, let me tell you.

Even though we were not in a spiritual setting, I still was able to feel my Savior's love and

for me through these awesome ladies!

Now I need to do this for the ladies I teach. Let's pass it along!

Dedicated to the First Man in my Life

Today is a very special day. Today my Daddy is 60!!

Holy Cow!!

So this one's for you Dad!!

He can make anyone laugh with his jokes, even though we all know they are Super Cheesy!

He is hip, in his own kind of way.

He has an amazingly strong testimony which makes me feel the spirit every time he bears it.

He is a hard worker and is never afraid to get his hands dirty

He is a lover, not a fighter!!

Daddy,

What can I say?

There never has been and never will be another Father like you.

I love you with all my heart.

Little girls and their Daddy's have a special bond, but I like to think that ours is EXTRA special

Thank you for being the very first man in my life!!

I love you forever and always!!

Just got my glasses back....

Got my glasses back from last week's chewing fiasco.

Now my dog is starting to growl and nip and Jeff and I. (Mostly Jeff)

I see Obedience training in his near future.

You wouldn't know by looking at his adorable face!!

Naughty dog.

(I find myself saying this more often than I did when he was a puppy)

ANGRY...and it's my fault

Taking a little cat nap with my doggie = waking up to doggie chewing on new glasses and breaking them.

NEAT!!

(Insert Angry Eyes here)

Enough said.

Yellow Socks

Ode to my Yellow Socks

A couple months back, I bought some fun socks from Costco because I was tired of always wearing boring old white ones. I have striped ones and plain ones and checked ones. However, recently I have started to notice something about my yellow socks.

Every time I wear them, I end up having a good day!

Just knowing that I am wearing yellow socks seems to perk me up and make me have a good day.

I have been feeling a little under the weather because of a nice little cold that happened upon me this week, so I think I am going to wear these babies tomorrow to try and redeem my week!

I love the little things like this in life that can make my day!!

Thank you Yellow Socks! You rock my world!!
