Weekend Fun!

So this last weekend Eric’s Mom and Grandpa invited us up to Portland to go to Wheel of Fortune. It was fun to watch! Ironically they were interviewing contestants at Chinook Winds Casino when we had the Exchange banquet there last fall. Then we headed over to Amanda’s house for her birthday party. It was nice to see some friends that we haven’t seen in a while. Sunday was a pretty lazy day. Watched conference, cleaned house, did laundry the usual stay at home activities. I was trying to get everything super prepped so we had a smooth transition back into school. That’s right school starts this week for the first time I’m not really excited. I usually get excited at the first of the semester for a sort of new beginning, but I’m just dreading this term, and I’m actually taking interesting classes. With the start of the term comes a better routine, so hopefully that will help me to keep on track exercising throughout the week. I’ve decided I want to try to lose weight. I’m going to start with a twenty pound goal just because if I used the whole number it would be daunting. My plan is to make lunches the night before and try to get up early enough to have breakfast every morning so I don’t snack on junk at work. I also read about a beginning running program, where you just start with one minute for one day, two minutes for two days, three for three etc. I want to try the program this week just because the thought of running for one minute doesn’t sound terrible, but the thought of running for 20 or 30 off and on sounds exhausting. Hopefully it will up my motivation to do it. Blessing for the weekend: being able to spend the whole weekend hanging out with my husband.
