It seems my life is finally starting to head in the direction I want it to. I may have said something about that lately but I’m so happy that it’s finally happening. I woke up late once again this morning…… oopsie. Got up, rushed around, etcetc. When everything was said and done, Katie played until lunch time THEN I decided to take her on a little walk outside before nap time! Well, all I heard most of the walk was *whine* “I wanna go thiiiiiiis waaaaaaaaay” *whine* “I wanna go thaaaaaaat way” *whine* Hahaha. Yea, she’s stubborn like me, so when she gets her mind made up about something and doesn’t get it? You hear it over and over and over with a side of whining & UGGGGH I cannot stand whining. It’s super, super, super annoying. Anyway, I tried to distract her but nope, doesn’t really work with her – she’s too stubborn. I just whistled and kept walking. We came back & she went to bed and was still protesting… esp. because she was tired. I fixed my lunch, got a bath/washed my hair/shaved, while watching my ONE TREE HILL rerun! Got out & finished watching the episode then got Katie’s stuff ready, she got up, ate, etc. Went to dry/style/fix my hair then Katie got to watch cartoons while I worked on college! Eventually Brad came home & I got ready to go out with my CHURCH FRIEND so we could go visit another one of our church friends for visiting teaching (basically visiting people once a month to check on them & give them a monthly spiritual message) and I had a blast!!!!!!! The sister we went to visit told us the story of how a friend she works with is four months pregnant and just found out that her husband of many years has been cheating on her recently….. with multiple women! AND THAT’S NOT ALL. She found plenty of evidence that he has been cheating since they MET. We talked about how crazy that must be… and the fact that she’s dealing with that while pregnant. She’s gonna get printed evidence, confront him, and divorce him. Good riddance I say!

Anyway, it was after 9pm and my friend’s baby was getting cranky so we had to go! Plus, the sister we were visiting – her husband just got home so good timing. Friend dropped me off at home, I went across the hall to feed & check on my neighbor’s inside & outdoor kitties! Came back, cut Brad’s hair on the porch and now here I am…… updating stuff and just trying to relax before bed.

Oh and I’m gonna try to up my calories. I have been eating maybe ~1,200-1300cal a day and that lets me lose *some* water weight, but I always get stuck around 156. In able to heal my body, I need it to trust me and plus, eating that little of calories, I feel bad & have no energy when I attempt exercise. I want to be able to exercise AND lose weight…. so I’m gonna try staying around 1,800cal a day. My weight may not move for a while, but that’s OK. Gonna try to get my body to “trust” me and stop holding onto this water weight and hopefully with eating a bit more I’ll be able to exercise & not feel crappy. Which, the last few days I have been eating way too much and I have done EXCELLENT today, but feel kindof drained tonight. Seems if I talk a lot – like with visiting people, it makes me feel bad. Weird, but yeah. I’m just gonna have faith and keep my calories around the SAME. I’m very active all day long anyway with doing a million things in the house, always up, down, up, down, this/that for Katie, the house, Molly, etc etc.

Molly is doing really well! She actually comes out of the box when we come into the bathroom now. I can’t wait until she is used to everything and can come out into the living room and just be with us. However, we WILL need to get her an enclosed litter pan because every morning I find a big PILE of litter in the floor. So yeah, enclosed litter pan coming soon. Anyway, I am so blessed!!!!!! SO THANKFUL. If I can get my health stable to where I’m feeling good, get my calories/exercise figured out, get a TAN again, lose this extra weight, and build some muscle? That will be more than awesome. So happy that more things are happening with us becoming more involved with our new church ward… getting us closer to The Gospel again, like we used to be. <333333 I love my handsome husband and I know we can be stronger every day together – if we just work together. I love our daughter Katie. How she is learning to pray and going to be raised around The Gospel. How blessed am I… thank you Heavenly Father for another day.

I pray for everyone! I wish everyone happiness and goodness. Know that you can change your life, you are beautiful, you are worth it, you are a child of God. We are meant to be as happy as we want to be, but we sometimes have to make changes in able for that true happiness to come. It will come if you strive for it. Never give in, never give up is what I always say!! =) Much love to you all. Goodnight!
