LADIES!!!

I have come to the conclusion that we need to start over...so here's the deal. First one to read this needs to post a time that will be good for a conference, Danielle if you know when then you can txt me, berg you can call and we'll get a chat on asap cuz this isn't good and i need my girls! love ya!

I've Been Thinking...

So I have been thinking lately that maybe we should start over in this diet/exercise thing. It seems to me that at the moment we are all off the wagon and have no desire to chase after it and get back on. This, apart from being slightly depressing, is not doing us much good. I think that now would be a good time to rethink and replan our routines and then start over fresh next week. Please let me know your feelings on this, because we all have to be in on it!!

I haven't been doing too well with my exercise or eating and there is noticibly a difference. I just think that we need to get really into this. Maybe we need the proper motivation like...a grand prize or something. I know that if it's a competition or something like unto it, then I would probably try harder. It's so easy to not do it. I want to be cute...and you'd think that would be pretty good motivation to eat right and exercise hard...but it's not :) I like food. A lot. And it's hard to give up eating whatever I want. Haha. I feel really lazy. Anyway, let's organize another chat room meeting soon and we'll discuss our thoughts and ideas on starting over. Miss you girlies and cannot wait until we all move to the same college and room together :D Over and Out.

Whatever day it is now...

So pretty sure that we haven't been doing so good lately lol. I have been stuffing my face with cake and ice cream and cookies and crap. I'd say it's because Aunt Flow came to town but she's not here yet, my pms stage is just screaming for sweets. But that is no excuse, I am not completely happy when I look in the mirror, I am not disgusted but I know I could feel better about myself so I am going to get there. Lets get better at this program ladies.
I admit, today I ate an Atkins shake, lasagna, and ice cream and laffy taffy. So, started out with good intentions but then I fell off the wagon. Gotta get better. Because when we feel good about ourselves it is easier to feel good about everything else, like when I am happy with myself, I don't want to kill myself so bad. So, lets really push each other to do better, please...push me. I love you girls tons. I think I am going to ask the weekend of valentines off work so I can go back to Idaho, oh I wish we could all see each other! I miss you guys so much!
OH a tidbit of good news for the day!!! Mitch, the cute boy in my creative writing class: KNOWS MY NAME!!! AND WE TALKED!!!! It was epic lol k well peace out.

Yeah I haven't been doing very well either. Last night I was having a rough time so I went to Walmart and bought junk food...fruit roll ups, chips, oatmeal cream pies, and peanut m&m's. haha I know it was awful! But I'll get over it. Today I had chocolate cereal for breakfast haha. I'm in the middle of lunch...we'll see for dinner. I've been pretty busy today so that's my excuse for not eating well. PUSH ME TOO! I wanna get it shape really bad so push me to do better too. I've started to exercise a bit because of my PE classes. I had a pretty good workout last Thursday in my jazz class, but this is a new week! Let's do better girlies! Cause, I dunno about you guys, but when I exercise and eat right then I just feel tons better. Love it. BTW, Hailey I'm going home for Valentine's weekend too!! Actually I'll probably be in Logan on Friday doing college crap...but I asked for the weekend off cause I have monday off for President's day. And since our anniversary and valentine's are only a week apart, Dustin and I usually celebrate them on the same day. Since we can't be together on the 7th this year, we'll have to settle for V-Day. I hope you girls are starting to do better...I might be haha. Love you guys! We should set up a group chat soon. I think we all need it. Oh and Hailey...super exciting about that guy! GOOD LUCK! And Bergen, I'm glad you're feelin' better. It's super important that we're all emotionally stable before we start exercising and crap. Love you guys :D

A New Sense Of Determination

I always feel bad when I think of days past and I realize that I haven't blogged lately. I hate to use my circumstance as an excuse for my lax bahavior, but that's all I can think of to blame it on right now. All of this crap I'm dealing with lately has given me a renewed sense of determination. I really feel like now is a good time to get my life on track. I want to feel good about myself. That's my main goal right now. I don't think that dieting and exercise helps me keep that in perspective. I get so focused on the things I want to change that I don't appreciate the things that I have. I feel really ungrateful lately because I just look at all the negative things surrounding me. I guess it's pretty easy to get caught up in the bad when you feel like that's all there is. If you take a minute to think of all the things you have, it really makes you feel bad about complaining. I am thankful I am alive. I am thankful that I live in a free country and that I have the right to do what I want. Even if that means I can diet and exercise...or be fat and lazy...I can do it. I am thankful to be smart and to have a body that allows me to do the basic necessities of life. I am grateful that I have no major health issues right now and that I am young, alive and well. Yes, I have gained a little weight. Yes, I could stand to lose a few pounds and yes, I would benefit from eating healthier and fewer quantities. But right now, I'm glad I'm me. We all have bad days, and sometimes those days turn into weeks. But you can't let those be the focus of your life. You have to look at the bigger picture and realize that these small moments don't compare to all the good surrounding you. It's taken a lot of bad to make me see the good, and yes, you really have to look for it sometimes. But once you try, it becomes so much easier to see it. I didn't mean to turn this into a rant or a sermon or anything, but these are just my thoughts right now. I'm feeling pretty lucky. Even as I type these words I see how ridiculous they might seem. I was in a wreck, my grandpa died, I am lonely and down and struggle to make ends meet. But I feel lucky that I'm alive, I have a car, my emotions are working fine and that I have to work to accomplish my goals. There's always a silver lining.

I am determined to do better in all aspects of my life. This includes our diet and exercise plan. I am not satisfied with the way I look. But I am content with it. I don't feel the need to alter it drastically. I like the way that I feel when I eat right and exercise and so that's why I'm doing this. I'm ready to do this the right way. And what better day to start than Sunday--the beginning of a fresh new week. Miss you girls and wish you the best in life. Don't let the bastards get you down!! Over and Out.

I think this is day nineteen

Ok so pretty much I haven't been eating too great at all. Yesterday I had three pieces of french toast for breakfast, one and a half peanut butter sanwhiches and a candy bar for lunch, and some yogurt covered pretzels, fruit snacks, and juice for dinner. I did work out though. I spent an hour at the gym last night working out all parts of my body on all the lil machines. Today I had oat meal for breakfast, two pieces of toast with peanut butter, yogurt covered pretzels and some cinamon bread stuff. Thats only so far...
I have to say that things are probably going better for me that for both of you right now. My boyfriend didn't move away...(recently anyway, sigh still no reply letter)...my grandpa didn't die this week, I haven't been in a car accident or had electrical fires, I've been in school for three weeks so I'm not totally overwhelmed with it right now and ya...I'm so sorry guys. I wish I could help. I'm always here if you need to talk. You guys are the world to me and I love you tons. Hang in there girlies, life moves on.
P.S. I talked to Staish earlier this week, she seemed to be doing pretty good. Oh I miss my friends! It sucks being alone...

Hey so I've actually been doing a lot better. Yesterday I ate like a fiber one bar for breakfast, cup-o-noodles for lunch...I can't remember if I had dinner. But I did work out for 40 minutes. My jazz class wasn't much dancing yesterday but a lot of workouts. Like core and thigh strengthening stuff. It's enough to make me sore today. And I've decided I wanna work out more so I might take a spinning class at 7am in the morning. Some high intense cardio stuff would probably be good for me. Bergen, I'm really sorry about your grandpa. Hang in there...we're here for you. I'm glad you're doing better Hailey. I think I've been doing better because I've been so effing busy lately. It's when I'm super bored that I get all depressed and what not. Anyway....today I had a ham sandwich on wheat bread, string cheese, chips, and carrots for lunch. And Taco Bell for dinner cause I was at work. I'm really still missing you girls though. I'm still homesick...and friendsick :( But hopefully it will start to get better for all of us. Love and miss you. Hope you guys start to feel better. Night.

2010 is officially the worst year ever.

Hey, so sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I'm kind of an emotional wreck right now. On top of everything else going wrong, my grandpa died this week. Food seems really unimportant right now. So does exercise. Sorry.

Day Seventeen!

So today...I ate a lot. I had oat meal. Two 99 cent burritos from taco bell and an orange pop cuz BYU campus doesn't have cafinated drinks! Anyway then later I had a bbq chicken sandwhich and fritos and peanut m&m's and right now I'm eating ice cream.
I talked to the honor code office today. The guy was nice but it was just like repenting to the bishop again. He has to take my case to the board and they'll decide what to do. He said I'll probably be put on probabtion or something. I'll keep you guys updated. I love you!

I'm really glad it went well hon. I hope the rest of it does too. Today I had cereal for breakfast. Fiber one bar and string cheese for lunch. Ritz cheese bits for a snack. Ham sandwich on wheat with chips and string cheese and a Dr. Pepper for Dinner. Not bad considering I'm been effing busy today. Five classes and sooooo much to do. I can already tell this semester is gonna be so effing busy. Lots and lots of reading and writing...well at least compared to last semester. But I am determined to do good again. I probably will end up dropping Jazz Band :( Which is sad cause I was kind of excited about it. Anyway....sigh I still really miss you guys. And I still really miss Dustin. And I'm still really homesick and why does everything have to suck?! Sigh...I gotta get back to homework. Love and miss you guys.

Day Sixteen

Alas, my first day of school in a month. It wasn't that bad...probably because I only had two classes: environmental science and jazz dance. I thought my science class was gonna be awful because it's 2 1/2 hours long, but it went by surprisingly fast. And now I'm super pumped for dance because I'm just so excited to be back dancing! Eating wise, I had a fiber one bar for breakfast, cup-o-noodles and string cheese for lunch, and for dinner I had macaroni, celery and peanut butter, a few chips, and another fiber one bar. I know dinner sounded like a lot, but everything was in small servings. So I think I was doing pretty good...until I had a bowl of delicious sugary cereal about ten minutes ago. Haha...it was worth it though. Exercise was blah. I think I'm gonna put that Dancing with the Stars DVD in tomorrow and see what it's like. Tomorrow I have five classes: starting at nine, math, writing, history, yoga, and ending at nine is pep band. Long day right?! Yeah pretty much. We'll see how it goes. I miss Dustin :( and I miss you girls :( I think it's safe to say we're all pretty homesick right now.....or at least I am. Are we all sad? Ugh I hate being sad. I think it should stop and I wanna be happy again. Damn that was a sad post....hope you girls are feeling better. And good luck with your honors code meeting tomorrow Hailey. And Bergen...hang in there, I think life hates Hailey and I too...so you're not alone. Love you guys...miss you. Goodnight.

Hey sorry I didn't blog on time. I ate yesterday. Yes...I don't know what I ate though...Oh I had a peanut butter sandwhich for breakfast. Then a teriyaki bowl for dinner and some chips and bread and chili for supper. Plus some gum and a tootsie roll. I then went to the gym and ran on the eliptical for fifteen minutes and then did the bike for fifty two minutes. I wore sweats so I sweated a ton which was good. I was up forever doing homework so I didn't blog. My bad ladies. Love ya!

day fifteen, and cake. lots and lots of cake. shat.

Freaking a! So today I woke up and had two pancakes. Then I had a peanut butter sandwhich and went to work. At work I had two tootsie rolls and a diet coke. Then...Tyler. UGH Freakin fml!!!! So he bought me the coke. And he stayed to walk me out to my car. He is being all nice and stuff and I'm freaking flirty! I hate it! I have to go talk to the honor code people, I'm almost through the repentance process and then freaking dumb a is like want to hang out? And I'm like prolly not, and he's like why is it cuz I'm not putting out? I stop putting out and you don't talk to me anymore is that it? and I'm like oh hell no thats not it! ugh, I can't stand to talk to him because it makes me miss him and want him to try for me again and be there for me again, but thats bad! I hate what we did and I wish I could just forget and he's making it impossible! So then I'm driving home and he calls me and is like well what is it? And he talks about his girl and all and then he's like I'll do what it takes to hang with you, freak if you want me to put out I will. And I was like NO! UGH! I can't take it! So then I cried out in my car because it hurts to think that I would even miss that or want him or anything and FREAK!!! So I came in, had some chocolate bread and about half of a chocolate cake. Ha I shoved the cake in my face, screw manners and forks I don't give a F*** grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Tear.

Hailey, I'm really sorry. This Tyler guys seems like a real asshole (excuse my language) and as hard as it is, you should try to ignore him. Ha, I know that probably won't work out well cause cute boys.......well we all know what cute boys can do. All I can say love, is just keep avoiding him. And hang in there. We both love you and know you can make it through this! BTW, good luck with your honor code meeting. I really want it to work out for you.

My eating actually wasn't bad today. Which is surprising because today is my ultimate lazy day. It's the last day I'll have free of homework and school for quite a while. Anyway, I slept till noon and had cereal when I woke up. Later, I had an orange for a snack and for dinner I had a ham sandwich on wheat bread, salt n' pepper kettle cooked chips, carrots, string cheese, and a Dr. Pepper. I'll have some work out classes this week so that's good. But I started my period today and I've been in some really bad pain...I hope it leaves by the time I start school tomorrow. Goodnight girlies. I'm still missing you as much as ever. I had new roommates move in today...so maybe I'll have someone to talk to. We'll see. Goodnight again. Love you guys.

Oh my goodness. Hailey--I am so sorry. I'm sorry that you're hot and that guys are attracted to you and will leave their wife and children for you. Oh my gosh. That's not your problem that's HIS problem. He needs to just leave you alone. I know it's hard, but seriously that's a big red flag. If he's that willing to leave his wife and kid for you then he will dump you flat on your ass when he's done with you. That's how it always is. I'm sorry that he won't leave you alone. I looked at his profile and it made me sick. He's got that picture of he and his family and yeah he's really good looking, but he is a butt. I wish I could be there to tell him off. You know I'd do it too!! Ew. I'm with Danielle on this one. Don't put yourself in the situation again. You know what your boundaries are and you know when you can't handle it. Part of repentence is never doing it again so don't even put yourself in a position to do it. I don't think you have to completely ignore him, but just know that when you hang out bad things happen. Wow, this ended up as a rant sorry---now for my diet. haha.

Today was okay. I started off really good and then sucked it up at the end. I had a King Sized Fast Break and a Diet Dr. Pepper around 4:00 today. Then for FHE tonight our Bishop made sloppy joes..so I had one of those and some chips and this yummy delicious brownie thing. Yum Yum Yum. I only had one serving of it though so I still feel like I did pretty well. Then I went home and stuffed my face while watching JTMD because I was depressed. I bought ice cream *big mistake* and ate a lot of it. Then I ate some chips and dip and an apple and ugh. I just ate a lot. I am sad. I didn't exercise much either. I am going to be so mad if I gain weight while on this failure diet. haha. Oh well. Looks like I am going to have to work extra hard tomorrow. Much love girlies! Over and Out.

P.S. Hailey--next time he tries to be all nice, call me! I will distract you :)

Day Fourteen!!!

So today...haha...well...I had french toast for breakfast. After church I had some yogurt covered pretzels. Then I went to talk with the bishop, that was really good. Um I came back and ate...EVERYTHING. Better than sex cake, cookies, cookie dough, and then some chickeny stuff we had for dinner, it was a big event, I ate lots...:( Oh well I'll start again and be better this week starting tomorrow.
Oh this guy today told me I didn't need to diet because I was gorgeous, what a nice kid. But he's going to sexburg tonight cuz he goes to BYUI so I was like awe thanks...lol.
Oh and I sat by Neals in sacrament!!! hehe he's beautiful...mmm. lol There are a lot of beautiful new boys in the ward...its nice. :) Love you girlies. Call me to give me the memo on the time or whatev of the conference, I need you two!

I agree with Hailey. I need both of you! Today was better...emotional wise. I had some things to keep me busy...so it wasn't as depressing. I woke up and worked for a couple hours this afternoon. Before work, I ate a fiber one bar. Then I came back and watched football. After that, I went to a few stores cause I was bored. I ended up at Walmart buying actual food, which is good. I bought some healthy food, like fruit and vegetables. And I bought cleaning supplied because my non-clean roommate who(m)(?) I used to share a bathroom with, moved out today. It was kind of a surprise because she didn't tell anyone, but whatev. So after she left, I had the bathroom to myself! And I suddenly had motivation to clean the bathroom. Probably because I knew she couldn't mess it up :D. Anyway...after I went on a serious Walmart shopping trip, I came back to my apartment and cleaned the kitchen and little bit and I cleaned the bathroom. And I kinda cleaned my room (I finally unpacked all my clothes and put them away). And then I ate a bowl of cereal (chocolate marshmellow mateys) and I had a bowl of beef stew. And now I'm here...blogging. Ugh I miss Dustin :( But time just needs to go by faster till I get to see him next! (Which will probably be in 3 weeks because that's when our 2 yr. anniversary is). Well that was kind of a random post. But yeah....we need to chat! I need to talk and what not. Love you and miss you both!

Well it was super great to get to talk to you both!! It always makes me feel a lot better. It makes me miss you a lot more though too. I miss having talks like that every day!! Oh well. Bittersweet. It was really nice though. I sucked at eating today. By sucked I mean I stuffed my freaking face. I hate that. I am definitely going to try harder next week. I am determined to be cute and thin for swim suit season. I will!!! Miss you girls. Over and Out.

Day Thirteen

I am sad to say that this week has been an utter failure as far as diet and exercise go. This is slightly depressing, but I know that it will be motivation to work even harder next week to make up for it. I woke up this morning with every intention of working out. But the day went on...and on...and I kept putting it off. I cleaned my apartment instead. What kind of sick disease is that? I'd rather clean than work out? I think I need to have my head examined. Oh well. I have a sparkly clean apartment and a gross body. Haha. So I ate a piece of Banana Bread today and some Chip Dip with Fritos. That was good, and I was feeling pretty full, so I thought I would be fine for the rest of the day. I ate this around 3:00 p.m. Then Dustin gets home with our NEW FIXED CAR!!! Hooray. Now we have a car to drive legally at night!!!!!! Of course we had to celebrate, so we went out to eat. We went to Winger's. I had the Sticky Finger Wrap and a diet cherry Coke. So. I didn't eat horribly today, but I had large quantities of what I did eat. I'm feeling full and sleepy now because of it. I will improve next week. Miss you girlers. Over and Out.


Today was a FAIL for me too. I'm still slightly (by slightly, I mean REALLY) depressed. But I slept till 12 and I ate some cookies. I sat in bed till 4 and watched What A Girl Wants. And then I got in the shower and got ready. I was thinking that I had to go play in the pep band for a game that started at 6:30. So I got ready and went and got dinner at Wendy's (a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a diet coke) and I went to the game. Apparently it started at 3:45. So I got there and there was 12 minutes left. Oh great...yeah I guess they decided not to tell me. Whatever...I went to the mall after that cause it usually makes me feel better. I got an awesome deal on a cute flannel shirt at American Eagle. I had some money left on my gift card and I got this shirt for $10! And I got a Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt at Hot Topic. I'm pretty excited about them. I've just been sitting and watching TV ever since then. I guess today was a little better cause I haven't been crying as much. But I feel just as sad so...I dunno. Anyway...sorry about the motivation thing Bergen. It seems that none of us have much motivation. Ugh. SUCK! But..have a good night girlies. Love ya.


So I did okay...ha during the day...well thats a lie. I did good at breakfast..then I went to Wendy's...baconator double, medium fry and drink holy yum. Then I went to the gym and had a way good hour long work out...then I came home and ate cookies and bread...so not so good lol. whatev tho...Monday will be good.

Day 12!

I was really contemplating putting that exclamation point on the end of "Day 12." Today was definitely rough. Dustin left today :( Right before work too. So I went into work with red eyes and to be honest...it was pretty hard to keep it together. But I managed to do it for 4 hours ha. Anyway....I didn't even plan on sticking to the plan today. I didn't really care. I walked around at work again for 4 hours...but like I said last night. It wasn't really intense walking or anything so it wasn't great exercise. I had macaroni for breakfast/lunch. I had a fiber one bar and some cookies and jellybeans for dinner. Trust me...considering my emotional state, I would be stuffing my face, but I still need to go grocery shopping.....so I don't have much to stuff my face with yet. We definitely need to have a chat soon. I miss you guys. I hope your days were better than yesterday....you guys didn't seem to be having to great of a time. Anyway...night ladies (not that I'm going to bed yet). Miss you and love you!

Hey all! Today wasn't terrible eating wise..I had oatmeal for breakfast. I went to school...well I skipped my last class because I didn't want to be there anymore...Then I ate two peanut butter sandwhiches. Then I went to work. Then I bought some yogurt covered pretzels and a diet dew. Then I came home. Then I went to the gym and worked out for thirty minutes but I was really weak so I stopped early. Then I went home, got ready, and went to a dance party, it was a kisses and crepes party so I had two halves of a crepe lol not like just one crepe but a half of two different ones lol. Anyway I consider the dancing a work out! It was sweaty and fast paced and pretty fun. Brightened my day until freakin biotch of a roommate and I were comparing muscles with a guy and when he told her she had bone and I was like well I have a little more than that she was like ya you've got some nice relief society arms and I just wanted to sock her in the face. I brushed it off til I got home then I was like did you really say that you freakin hoe! Ugh then I got pissed and couldn't be around her. My night had gotten better then she has to be a hoe and I just want to cry again. Freaking A! GOOSEFRABA!!!! Anger management...goosefraba. UGH.
Danielle I'm sorry you've had a rough day sweetie. You need to get busy so you don't have so much time to think. You and Dustin haven't ever really been apart for long durations of time and it's going to be hard but you can do it. I love you girlies. gotta hit the sack. work at 8:45 :( Peace out

Today was a really horrible day for me. This week is just not a good one for me! I just want to eat and be lazy--and I am REALLY good at it. Today I ate a ton. I can't even remember what I ate because I ate so freaking much. I know that I had 2 of those canisters of Cheetos and an Energy Drink. But really that sums up my day. Caffeine and junk food. It was Friday--I felt the need to just eat and party. Minus the whole party part I succeeded. Next week I will do better. I am determined.

Danielle, I'm sorry you're having a rough weekend. I understand the whole leaving your boyfriend thing. It wasn't easy for me either. You and Dustin are a LOT stronger than Zak and I were. I have faith that you'll be okay. I agree with Hailey though, you just need to busy yourself so you don't have much time to wallow and think about it. Actually, I think that we all need to take this advice and pick up a hobby or something. I think we have WAY too much free time on our hands to think about how much life stinks. We need to busy ourselves and think on the positive side. I think it will help in all aspects of life. I love you girlies. I can't wait until we plan our chat session. Much love and hugs. Over and Out.

Day 11!

So today was uneventful. I guess you could say I got a bit of exercise cause I was at work and walked around for almost 4 hours. But...it's not very good exercise. Dustin and I had Taco Bell for lunch. I had half a quesadilla and a crunchy taco and a diet pepsi. Then we walked around the mall for a while (so there's some more walking) and I bought some cute tights as American Eagle with my giftcard. Then I had to go to work. Ugh...that was not fun, but that's beside the point. I had some cheese sticks and a small serving of macaroni for dinner. Now I'm watching Family Guy with Dustin! Oh I also bought my books today. GAH!!! Dustin leaves tomorrow so...that's really sad and I'm probably gonna be all sad and not fun at work tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. But we all need to talk soon! I miss you guys! Love ya!

Ok so today was super bad. Aunt flow is almost to town and so I ate chocolate cake and ice cream...suck! I also had a peanut butter sandwhich resembling a big mac, it had three pieces of bread! Oh and before that I had oatmeal. Then for dinner I had a grilled cheese sandwhich and tomato soup. YUM. But no exercise for me...Hailey just wants to cry. Ugh. Whatev. Love ya girlies, miss you.

Today was rough. Definitely not my day. I ate too much and didn't exercise so I'm feeling really great about that. I can't seem to find the motivation to get up early and work out before class. Guess it's my own fault for going to bed so late. I have got to work out a better system. I had some Wheat Thins, Two Chicken Wraps, three glasses of Coke, some super delicious spicy chip dip, and some raisins. All I did was walk to my classes and back, and then walk all around town to take my Rosauers application in. That took me a while, so I guess I did get a little exercise, but only brisk walking. Not anything to be excited about. I must find the motivation. I think we need a chat room meeting this weekend. Let's plan something. Over and Out.

Day 10!

Today has been alright. I just got out of the hot tub with Dustin :D And it was very much needed. Exercise? Hmm...well yeah....I actually would've got quite a bit of walking done at work today but guess what?! Old Navy called and said I didn't have to work because they're cutting hours.....DAMMIT! Really? I could have stayed home for another day! Ugh....kinda mad about it. But I didn't wanna go to work anyway. Bleh...Dustin is still here so that's nice. We've just been hangin out. I actually figured out how much I'm gonna have to spend on books this semester...$450. Geeze...such is the college life!

For food...I had some crackers and cookies when I woke up. I guess you could call that breakfast. I had McDonald's for lunch and hot wings for dinner. Really? Am I really that much of a pig? Yes I am. Ha my eating habits are TERRIBLE! Okay tomorrow.....tomorrow I will make it my goal to not eat bad food all day. We'll see how it goes for one day.

I'm in the middle of applying for the ambassador's program at USU. They're like the people who give tours and what not. And it's kind of like a leadership group. Anyway, it's a pretty intense application. But if I get accepted as one, I get full ride! Let's hope for the best! Well I'm out now. Love and miss you guys!

So today wasn't terrible for me. I had oatmeal for breakfast. Went to school. Had an atkins shake and some of those orange crackers with peanut butter in between them...they were good lol. Then I came home after my last class which ended at six thirty, and I mean walking around campus all day I guess I could count as exercise but its like I do that anyway and it never really puts me totally out of breath or anything. So then I got home and had a can of soup and a chicken salad sandwhich. Then I went and played soccer, and did pretty darn good for not playing in forevs, like I got an assist or two and WE WON! lol woot. Then I came home and did around one hundred sit ups, ten push ups, twenty five leg lifts like with both legs together so it works your abs, and then two sets of leg lifts where you grab someones ankles and they throw your legs down and you have to catch them and bring them back up. That stuff was intense! So I did pretty good for today.

Alright, I always think I am doing so well and then dinner time rolls around and I just pig out! It's ridiculous. I have nothing to do at night and boredom brings that bored hunger and so I just eat because there's nothing else to do. Ew. This must be fixed. Alright so classes started up for me today and so I didn't eat lunch until 2:30 when my classes got out. I had some Wheat Thins and a piece of Banana Bread. Yum. I do love those. Then I had a Nutty Bar, which is also delicious. Jenn came over tonight and we took down the Christmas tree and she invited me out to dinner. We went to Pizza Hut and I ate an ENTIRE P'zone. Oh my gosh. Have you seen those things? They are freaking huge!! It made me feel fat just looking at it. But it was really really good. Anyway, I had a diet pepsi to go with it. Not that the diet part really matters, my diet was shot when we walked through the restaurant doors. Now I'm munching on a bag of popcorn and trying not to think about how fat I will get if I keep up this binge eating. Ugh. Well, such is life. I can only hope to do better tomorrow!! Over and Out.

Day Nine

Day nine has arrived and I must say that this has been the most interesting day so far. I think I did ALL of my 3 hours today. I did a 2 mile walk away the pounds video. That took about a half an hour. Then I did my usual follow up exercises and that took up another half an hour. Then I walked all the way to Winco and back. This took about an hour. I did a lot of walking today because our car is out of commission. So then I walked to the Dollar Store and back...this took another hour up. So as of today I have completed my 3 hours for this week. Don't worry though, I will still exercise as much as I can. I was doing really good on the eating part until it was 8 o clock and I realized how little I'd eaten. I was all shaky and dizzy which equals NOT GOOD. I wasn't really home to eat so all day I had a string cheese and a piece of banana bread. Then I got home and was feeling really icky. Then I binged. SO BAD. But I did. I had 2 hotdogs the rest of the tater tots and 2 Nutty Bars. Yikes. I was doing SO good too. Ugh Ugh Ugh. I hate that. Haha. Oh well. I definitely burned enough calories for it today. P.S. Danielle I totally agree with your statement about the school district. Ignorance is the world's curse. Over and Out.

Ok so I actually did really good today! I didn't have class so I got up, looked cute, and walked to the devotional about three blocks away. Then I came home and did some homework and took a nap, and then I went to work. I came home from work, brought a kid some cookies, took out the trash, ate dinner and went and rode the bike thing in the gym for forty five minutes or so. My butt was definately feeling the burn. I didn't do any arm lifts because my arm is still killing me. But yeah so I did work out. And eating was pretty good too. I had oatmeal for breakfast. A peanut butter sandwhich and an oats and honey bar for lunch. And then pea soup for dinner. That is all. I agree completely with you Danielle, I don't want to see SF fall apart and go down the drain and the whole thing sounds like it sucks, man I hate politics. Peace out.


Okay so yesterday I came back to Twin so I ate bad again. I had toast for breakfast, my mom and I went to Chiz's for lunch and I had battered chicken, fries, salad, and a wheat roll. And for dinner Dustin and I had subway, I had a 6" BLT, salt and vinegar chips, and a diet coke. And then later like a 2am we had popcorn. Yeah he's staying the night. Hehe. But he's leaving tomorrow :( Sad day. I didn't get any exercise in. I was pretty busy yesterday. Sucks I'm back to real life now! See ya!

The Interworkings of the Ignornant Greedy Folk

This has nothing to do with our diet/exercise report and Hailey, you're probably gonna hate it...but I need to rant!

Well I went into the High School today because I needed to talk to Mr. Bennett about a letter of recommendation and I needed Brenda to mail a couple transcripts for me. Anyway, when I was talking to Mr. Bennett, the topic of the new proposed levy came up. The levy is proposed by the Fremont School District and they're asking for $600,000. Governor Otter has made a bunch of funding cuts to education (and we started to hear a bit about it last year) and that's why the school district is having such a hard time with money. (And it's about to get worse because Otter just announced he's cutting $40 million more from education). Anyway so this levy for 600 grand is pretty much so the high school can keep their extra-curricular activities. So if this thing does pass (on Feb. 2nd), then ALL extra-curricular activities will be cut! Gone! DESTROYED! That includes band, debate, all the little clubs, and yes! you guessed it!.....SPORTS!

Well there was a levy similar to this one two years ago that the district tried to pass...but guess what? Nope. It didn't. And it's mainly for two reasons. 1) People don't know about it. (All the community knows is that there is a levy asking for money and it will increase property tax). And 2) All of the people that live in Island Park will multi-million dollar homes are greedy and don't care at all about the community they live in (okay that was pretty harsh, but I mean come on?! The property tax would increase $50 at the most for high end homes for 2 years! That means TWICE! And if you've ever read the Island Park newspaper and read what they have to say about the levy....it's pretty damn frustrating!)

So it really all comes down to one thing...people are ignorant. As my dad puts it, "Half these people don't even know how to read!" Ha, that's pretty extreme, but he has a point. I don't think half the people in our community understand how much NOT passing something like this is going to affect everybody. Think about it...no extra-curricular activities? Parents who are big donators to the community will be packing up and leaving to give their kids a better education. Kids who love sports and academic activities and depend on them to get into college are going to transfer to other schools. Essentially, the town will go bankrupt.

Oh yeah, did I mention that the teachers will be leaving too? Well I kind of have inside information (my dad is pretty tight with some of the teachers!) and there is a very good chunk of teachers who are leaving at the end of this year because they've received too many pay cuts (a small amount of the levy money would be going to teachers as well) and haven't had raises in years..oh and they've had their retirement fund dipped into. Well think about how many teachers at SF that are coaches as well. Almost all of them! Coaching pays money too....so without that second part of their income, a lot of these teachers will either be looking for a second job or they could go the easy way and just move somewhere where they're treated better.

I know I don't go to SF anymore, but this really just upsets me. I've always really loved St.A and South Fremont, and I can easily see this place going down the drain pretty soon. And it's not like this everywhere. Maybe in Idaho, but other states don't pay their teachers as low as Idaho does. Other states are receiving budget cuts to education, but not like Idaho. I'm just sad :(

Day 8!

Alright....just to let everyone know, I tried REALLY hard to wake up and exercise this morning...it was really hard! How do you guys get the motivation to exercise? Why is it so hard for me to get up and exercise? WHY DON'T I HAVE ANY MOTIVATION?!

I guess after that rant...now I'll tell you guys what I ate. I had two pieces of toast for breakfast. I splurged on lunch and had Big J's, a #4 (cheeseburger, fries, and a dr. pepper) and it was a late lunch so I didn't have much for dinner. What I did have was bad though....my mom again decided to spoil us with unhealthy fast food. I had one piece of fried chicken. Oh and I bought a work out video today. It's one of the Dancing with the Stars ones, the latin dancing! Which is great because latin dances work your core. And I wanted to get another one...just one with general exercises for my legs, core, and upper body. But all the ones they had seemed like beginner levels....so my mom says anyway. I guess she has more experience with work out videos than I do so I took her advice and just got the Dancing with the Stars one. Anyone know where I can get a Tae-Bo video? Alright I'm done now! Leaving for Twin tomorrow evening....ugh! Peace out!

Alright, now for my diet/food update. I thought I was going to do really well today. I walked all over campus trying to find the buildings for class on Wednesday. I know it doesn't sound like much of a workout, but holy crap, it's a lot of hills. I don't know why they decided to build campus on so many hills, but hey, I got my workout, I'm not complaining much. So I got home around noon and ate a slice of banana bread. Then Mr. Hottie came over to fix my electricity. I drank some hot chocolate while I observed him working from the living room :) hee hee. I ate two Wheat Thins after he left. Dinner is where I went wrong for the day. I made hot dogs and tater tots. See, I don't usually like hot dogs...but for some reason I've been craving them like crazy lately!! So---I ate two hot dogs and a HUGE plage of tater tots. After I ate them, I looked at my empty plate and felt SO gross. I hate that feeling. I hate overeating. In retrospect, I'm probably not getting nearly enough calories for the day--but overall it just seems like I eat a lot. If that's not bad enough, I just finished off that box of Wheat Thins a minute ago. Oh boy. I will definitely do better tomorrow. It makes me sick to think of eating all that food. Ew. No wonder I can't lose weight!! P.S. Danielle--It's not easy to get up in the morning and exercise, I too lack the motivation to get up and get moving--but then I think, "I want to be cute and skinny and fit!!" That usually gives me that extra budge I need to just do it! Over and Out.

Hey Berg thats awesome about the hottie lol I love those! Hehe. And Danielle ya workin out is hard to want to do if you have to do it alone. I gave blood today and haven't been able to move my arm much so I didn't work out. As far as eating...I did okay. I had oat meal for breakfast and an atkins shake for lunch. But then they gave me cookies and a granola bar to make me not dizzy.. Then for dinner I had a corner of a piece of banana bread and a piece and a half of pizza. So not too terrible...except for the cookies lol but I did turn down some brownies! Ha today was a really good day overall like as far as the day went. I saw the cutie in creative writing. I sit by a nice boy in BoM. I went to FHE and met this nice friend of a guy in my FHE and he is cute...lol Oh so many cute boys! Haha I want one for myself!!! Anyway ladies I love you tons and I'm outie.

A Ray of Sunshine!!

Okay so this has absolutely NOTHING to do with diet or exercise, but I just wanted to share with you something amazing and wonderful! As you know, life hasn't been too hot for me lately, what with the wreck and the electrical fire and money issues, anyway, so we finally got someone to come around and fix the electricity problem and what do you know...HE'S A TOTAL HOTTIE!!! Oh my gosh. So I open the door and there is this amazing looking repair man! I was stunned. :) So of course he comes in and it's MY room that needs the help. Hee hee. There was totally a hot guy in my room! He smelt really goooooooood. Oh my gosh. He was way nice, and way hot, and tall!!! But I didn't get a name. Haha. Maybe it won't work and he'll have to come back and fix it again :) hee hee hee. A little ray of sunshine for this gloomy month. :) Just wanted to share. Over and Out.

Day 7!

Hello Friends! Today has been good.....not in any way for eating and exercising. But I'm really livin it up while I'm home! Haha. I actually went shopping today! I got some cute purple tights for my plaid skirt ($7!) and I got a new coat! EEK! Since my mom helped me pay for it, I only paid $40 which is awesome! And it has a hood! I am so freakin excited about the hood because my current coat doesn't have one! Oh and I bought a cover thing for my phone. It's purple and black zebra stripes. Pretty excited about that too.

On to my eating and exercising....exercising sucked....which means I didn't do it. But I am going back to Twin on Tuesday so exercising will DEFINITELY start then. But I am going to make it a point to get up early tomorrow morning and run on the treadmill, do sit-ups, pushups, etc. For food...I had two pieces of toast this morning on wheat bread with butter and cinnamon. And then went quite a while without food. For dinner, my mom decided to go the unhealthy way! MCDONALDS! So I had 3 chicken strips, a large fry, and large diet coke. Isn't that terrible? Geeze, I have an awful diet! I WILL make it better though! I am determined! Peace out!

Hey friends. Today was not a good day for me in any sense of the word. I think that Aunt Flo is coming soon, so that would explain a lot. I walked to church today and back, but it isn't really that far, so it wasn't much of a walk. I ate a lot of food today. I had 3 peanut butter cookies, a few handfuls of raisins, half a box of wheat thins, some chicken and noodles, apples dipped in caramel (yum yum yum), a glass of milk, and a ton of water. Like I said, I didn't do well with eating or exercising today. I guess Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest...haha...guess I took it literally and decided to just eat whatever I wanted. A rest from my diet :P I think it sounds legit. Then I look at my fat tummy and I think, now why did I eat all that junk?? Sad. This diet thing is harder than it should be!! I am determined to do better next week. P.S. Danielle that coat is super cute!! I am way jealous you are still at home. I'd give anything to be home right now. I am sad that Moscow is so far away. Well...until tomorrow then. Over and Out.

K so yeah I didn't do so hot either. I woke up. Had a pancake that Chalet made me. I went to work and had an atkins shake for lunch. I came home and had one and a half sloppy joes and a piece of cake and two cookies. So it was all good til dinner. But k so then we watched the devo with Bro. Anderson and it was super good. And a whole bunch of guys were over at my apt. and one (he was cute) was sitting by me and was like hey will you scratch my back so I can fully enjoy the devo lol and I was like heck ya! haha so I did and then he traded and did it to me and then traded again lol he got the better end of the deal but the second time that I was doing it to him he wanted me to tickle his arm so I did and mmmm mmm mmm large biceps are delish! Then we kinda cuddled and played where's waldo. Then another guy came and took his spot and we ate oh yeah I had a few more cookies and hot chocolate cuz it was tim tams or something like that...it was way good. But yeah so then cute boy left. Then I went to FHE bros house and played mariokart. Then I went to ward prayer and EEEK I talked to this SUPER CUTE BOY!!! MMMMMMMMMM Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOSH HE IS GORGEOUS!!! K ya so I talked to him and was like HEY! lol so that was awesome. Then I went and played more mariokart. oh and I am on two soccer leagues! WOOT! PS no exercise for me today :( but then after mariokart our fhe bro mike carried both me and chalet on his back and it was hilarious, I'll post the vids later. I love you girls and miss you tons. Danibabe that coat is super cute! K starting tomo its back to eating better and more serious work outs but I am pretty sure that I hit three hours last week. Over and out ladies! Love!

Day 6!

I did really good for eating today---until about an hour ago :) hee hee. Today was good. I find that if you stay in bed. You can't eat. Because you're sleeping. It's a genius fool proof way of not eating. Then you get out of bed, exercise, shower, and there goes most of your day!! It's fantastic. :)
Anyway. I walked all the way across town and back today. That gladly fulfills my 3 hours for this week. Hooray (: I ate a bowl of cocoa-puffs this morning, some raisins, water, left-over manicotti for dinner and some chicken and noodles. I had a spoonful of peanut butter earlier today too. So, not too hot in the eating department..but I think it was alright. Cool. Well when it rains it pours. Drama and crap seems to hit all at once. Hope you chicas are in better shape then I am. Miss you both. Over and Out.

K so pretty sure today started great for me but had a bad finish. I can't write much cuz my time is short but here is the report: I ate a bowl of oat meal for breakfast. Went to work. Had an atkins shake and worked some more. I got off at seven and had only eaten like maybe three hundred calories for the day so I came home and had a peanut butter sanwhich that Chalet made me and then we went tubing. It was really cold but super fun! Fun ward activity to see the new prospects that moved in for the semester. Then I had two donuts and hot chocolate. Then I came home and ate a bunch of doritos, some pudding bread that was left out over night so I'll probably be throwing up soon, some bread and jam and some tiny pieces of potato. yeah I made up for my earlier lack in calories real fast. No big exercise for me today though which is kind of a downer but I had no time. I work in the morning so I'm going to bed. I agree with the raining pouring thingy...story of my life. Blah I feel ya Berg. Loves!


Sorry my post is so late! But yesterday was okay-ish. I didn't walk around the ISU campus nearly as much as a did on Friday...so my exercise sucked. But I had fun at the tournament! My food kinda sucked too because at tournaments.....sometimes you just don't have time to eat. But I had two pieces of toast, yogurt, and hot chocolate for breakfast. Didn't have lunch. And for dinner I had Taco Bell: A chalupa, a supreme taco, some nachos, and cinnamon twists. Ha you could say that I made up for lunch when I ate dinner. We were SOOOOOO hungry!

Oh and this doesn't have anything to do with exercise or losing weight, but last night I applied to USU! It might not sound like much, but I've been putting off applying for a while. And last night I got one school done! Whoo! Actually I haven't sent it in yet...but I probably will today. Let's hope for the best! I'm not really worried about getting in cause I've been accepted before, but I'm wanting some awesome scholarships!

Day Five

Day five has arrived and I must say that as we progress it becomes less and less exciting to work out, and more exciting to think about how freaking amazing I'm going to look if I stick to it. I didn't get a chance to exercise today. I woke up to find my brother in the kitchen cooking deer steak. Ew. I swear our house smells like game meat now. Not very appetizing. Anyway, I usually get up and exercise...and I was NOT about to have him sit there and watch me work out. That is just not going to happen. So I showered instead. I'll try to work out later today, maybe before I go to bed. We will see. My eating was alright today, definitely a binge day. I had a toasted peanut butter sandwich, a hot dog, a handful of raisins, a multi-vitamin, a lot of water and a chilli potato for dinner. You know...over all it was an okay day for eating. But then my brother came home from work and dumped a large pile of reese's peanut butter cups on my bed. Of course--I've been eating them. And they are almost gone. Yikes. My diet is ruined!! I really want to be cute, but I love food SOO much. What's a girl to do. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Over and Out.

Ha okay so my day was admittadly better than Bergen's. I had an atkins shake for breakfast. I went to all of my classes and when I got home I ate a peanut butter sandwhich and some crackers and cheese...and ice cream (ok so I didn't do better than Bergen lol). Then for dinner I had sporatic eatings of bread and jam and rolls and peanuts. So eating probably wasn't the best...but I did go to the gym. My roommate had a hot date and no boy wanted to go with me seeing as its a Friday night and most people have lives lol. But I did really good working out. I did arms, abs, and legs like I usually do but with added weight. Then i sat on the bike and pedalled at high intensity for thirty minutes (thats six miles and 100 caleries!). I worked out for about an hour and ten minutes. It felt great and I sweat a ton. Really, really good workout over all.
Oh and I don't know if I've ever mentioned the really cute boy in my creative writing class but he is beautiful and he looked at me today! It may have just been as he was looking around the room, but when I looked at him he was looking at me!!! I can't wait to get skinny and cute because I think then I might have the confidence to talk to these cute boys. Boys: my motivation to look good, my downfall in life, and my happy moments. UGH. Well thats all for today! Peace out!


Yo! So I'm in Pocatello this weekend judging a really fun debate tournament! I'm really excited cause I miss this stuff and I get to see friends (like Brad, Kirsten, Tim, and David...oh and Dustin is here too!). Despite my being in Poky and not really being able to work out...I got some exercise today! Because this is how it works...so everyone hangs out in the student union building and for every round I have to walk to a different building. So I've been walking all day! Which is cool right? YEAH!

Anyway...foodwise I haven't been that bad. Didn't have time for breakfast. But lunch was a piece of pizza, an apple, and a bottle of water. And then..you know, I walked a bunch. And dinner was Burger King (cause it's way hard to eat healthy when you're at a debate tournament/traveling!) and it was a small cheeseburger, small helping of fries, a small piece of apple pie, and a diet coke. And then I walked uphill for like half a mile to my hotel! Ha...so today hasn't been that bad! Except I'm short on sleep. Only got four hours last night. Hopefully tonight is better!

Oh and I saw myself in my swimming suit again tonight because I went and sat in the hot tub with all my debate judging friends. And....it was like NO different from last week! HA! Especially cause I had just ate Burger King so I had a food baby! Haha, but I still had fun. That's all that really matters right? Let's hope so...goodnight friends! Love you and miss you!

Day Four!!

Alright so day four has arrived and I regret to report that today has been my worst day for both eating and exercising. I was extremely lazy today. I didn't shower, put make up on, get dressed or even venture out of my room very much. The only thing I did worth mentioning was that I put on my coat and my boots and I walked all the way to the library and back. That was about a 30 minute walk. My library books were over due--so I figured I should take them back and stop being a lazy butt. I did that and then watched movies and hung out all day. I ate some more manicotti, made some mexican rice for dinner and drank some water. That's pretty much all for today though.
I have found that watching movies and my newest obsession "The Vampire Diaries" is really helpful in the losing weight process. All of the girls on t.v. and all of the girls in the series are SUPER duper skinny. I look at them and I think, "Hey, it'd be nice to be cute and tiny like that." I know it won't happen exactly like that, but it sure works as motivation. The harder I work out and the healthier I eat...the faster I will be cute and thin. It's kind of an exciting concept. Well, until tomorrow then Over and Out.

So I actually did pretty good today! Again I didn't have class so I slept in which was amazazing!!! And then I woke up and had a roll with peanut butter on it for breakfast. I got all dolled up (I even curled my hair!) and then I did my history homework. Afterwards I ate lunch- a peanut butter sandwhich and some cheese and crackers with a diet coke. Then I went to work...oh the joys of slow slow work lol. I came home and ate BBQ chicken and a roll. Then I went to the gym and worked out for about forty five minutes. I did legs, arms, and abs today. I wish the results would show up sooner and I could be skinny and cute so that I could be happier with myself and boys would like me...but whatever, I guess things like this take time. Anyway, I still have homework so that's all from me today. Peace out!


Geeze, I feel super guilty when I read your guys' posts because I still haven't exercised and I know I won't this weekend because I'm going to judge at an overnight debate tournament in Pocatello. I promise I will start when I get to Twin though...promise promise promise!

I did so much better with the eating thing though! I've found that toast and butter doesn't upset my stomach. So I had two pieces of toast for breakfast (on wheat bread), one with butter and one with some cinnamon sugar. And I had the same thing for lunch. And for dinner, I had a few bites of a Hot Old Style and some fries (courtesy of Big J's!) and then a bowl of beef stew. But then Helena, her boyfriend, and Dustin came over and we kinda pigged out on junk food (popcorn, chocolate, candy).

Now I'm actually kind of freaking out because I forgot to explain to my boss that I wouldn't be able to work early in the morning on Sunday because I'd still be in St.A because of the debate tournament Friday and Saturday. I've got to find someone to work for me Sunday morning so I have time to get back to Twin after Saturday night! I won't lie, I'm kind of freaking out right now! Anyway, goodnight!
-Danielle

Day Three!!

Alright! Day Three. Today was much better for me. I slept extremely well last night and woke up refreshed and ready to tackle my diet/exercise with new vigor! For my exercising I did another Walk Away The Pounds video. It was the 15 minute one mile walk. I decided to take it a little easier today because I was pretty sore from working out and being in my wreck. Anyway--after that I did my 50 sit ups, 25 leg lifts on each side, 25 lunges on each leg, more butt shaping exercises and even tried to do some push ups. I have no upper body strength so I was sort of disappointed with them, but the more I work at them, the more I will be able to do!! I am really excited to be in shape! I forgot how good it feels to get up and move and to actually work on being comfortable with your body. So overall today I did about 30 minutes worth of exercising! Alright!! That means I'm already at an hour and fifteen minutes. WOOOOOOOT!

For Breakfast I had two pieces of whole wheat toast, with small amounts of butter and jam on them. Yummy!! I have been drinking water all day (and of course peeing all day as a result) but that's a good thing!! I ate one of the miniature fun sized krackle bars and a piece of almond roca and right now I am drinking a 32 oz installment of wild cherry pepsi. Today was kind of stressful so I justify my pop drinking with that. Plus I haven't eaten anything and I guess I'd rather drink my calories than eat them!!
Hey girls, I also found something pretty nice if you are interested in counting calories. I registered us on a website called calorie-counter. I think it's just caloriecounter.com but it will count the calories of the food you eat and then calculate your exercise in there so you can see how much you are burning and how much you need to eat and so forth. Contact me through Yahoo messenger if you'd like the username and password for it. I know it's been really helpful for me!!
Good luck with your personal plans! I am eager to hear about your days. Over and out.


Boy I'm really not starting out great with the eating healthy thing OR exercising! I feel so lazy, I don't even want to try and exercise. My excuse though is that I'm still feeling sick and walking around the house makes my stomach hurt...I can't imagine what exercising might feel like. Actually...it may make it feel better. But I still havent' done any exercise. I know, I'm suckish right? I PROMISE I will when I get back to Twin though, which will be sometime next week.

Anyway, today my eating was a bit better. I had Arby's for lunch (roast beef sandwich, half of my small curly fries, and a 7UP) and then didn't eat again till dinner which was polish sausage, macaroni & cheese, and tater tots (I had small servings though). My stomach still hurts after I eat and I'm still always hungry...I'm finding this sickness very odd and annoying. I promise I will start doing better once I'm back in Twin. Love you and miss you both!

P.S. - I got my ring back! Dustin and I picked it up today because Walmart finally finished resizing it...here's a pic!

Hey! So today I had a crazy long day at school. I was there from nine to six thirty...ya long right! eek but I am really enjoying some of my classes! So anyway it being a school day, I once again had a mediocre breakfast i.e. I ate half a spoonful of peanut butter. Then for a snack around noon I had a sweet and salty nut bar and a crystal light. I later drank one of those atkins shakes for lunch. That held me over until around seven when I got home and discovered I was pretty hungry. So I ate one and a half peanut butter sandwhiches, some crackers and cheese, and this delicious cup cake my roommate made for me. Later I had a roll that my before said roommate also cooked. So I didn't do so hot on eating...

As far as activity goes...I got out of school and got done eating and this boy asked me to go to the bball game with him, so of course I did. PS BYU rocks!!! lol Then I came home and went hot tubbing and met these super hot boys and rolled around in the snow with them and then jumped back into the hot tub lol they were...ahhh so good lol. But yeah so for exercise, I mean I did two ten minute bike rides (to and from school) and my gears are all frozen stuck so its on the really hard to pedal gear so that worked my legs and I was running late so that got my cardiovascular...lol but I didn't hit up the gym on time...tomorrow I will though for sure.

Bergen I'm so glad that you are okay! That wreck sounds awful! You guys are so lucky. And Danielle your ring is beautiful sweetie. I love you both. Peace!

Day Two!!!

Hey! So today was day two of our lil diet and exercise shindig. Today I didn't have any classes so I got to sleep in for awhile which was really nice. I woke up and had some oat meal and a piece of banana bread, mmm that stuff was good. Then I got ready for the day and tried to look half decent. My roommate started to do tae bo so I did a lil bit here and there with her lol just to show her up jk jk but really. But I didn't want to sweat because I had to go to work so I didn't do too much exercising. Then I treated myself to three reduced fat nilla wafers and a peanut butter sandwhich. Oh and btw I've been drinking crystal light to go which is basically just diet flavored water, so its really easy just mix it into a bottle of water and you are good to go. It tastes great and it makes you drink a lot more water. So anyway then I went to work and did that til eight. After work I came home and ate some more nilla wafers and another peanut butter sandwhich. Then I went to the gym with my roommate and another boy in our fhe and we went and lifted. I feel like today was focused mostly on legs and abs and it felt great! The gym closed at ten though and we didn't leave until nine so I'd say we got in a good half hour or so, maybe a little more but I'm only going to count the 30 minutes. Haha then we went to the FHE bro's apartment and watched some tv and then just hugged this super cute guy for about ten minutes lol his name is Matt and he is like the hunk of the ward or something lol everyone knows him. So that was nice. Now I am going to finish up some last minute homework and get some sleep. Another long day of school tomorrow. Like really...from nine in the morning until six thirty at night...yikes! Wish me luck! lol peace out!


So okay...today really wasn't that awesome. To be honest, I didn't put much of an effort into exercising. In my defense, I felt pretty crappy again today. Like Sunday only not as bad. I just have had stomach issues and a bad headache all day. I even went to Walmart to look for exercise videos and they didn't have any! So I'm going to look in Twin when I get back.

My food intake for the day was as follows: Cereal (the sugar kind), chips and salsa, a little bit of Taco Bell, a can of Beef Stew, 4 cookies, and a few spoonfuls of ice-cream. My stomach issue makes eating kind of awkward and not fun. The kind of stomach pain I have feels like hunger pain...so I eat. But then I just get nauseous for a while and then I have that hunger pain again. So I don't think I really am hungry like my stomach is telling me so I've tried to put off eating because I know that following it will be a sickening feeling.........ugh. I hate being sick.

And Bergen, I just heard about your accident and I got all worried and scared inside! I heard you were okay (Praise the Lord for Facebook!), but I am very sorry you had to experience something that awful. And if you feel like sharing the details, I think this blog would be a perfect place to post them :D

Hey!! So this post is a day late, but I'll explain that a little later! I didn't exercise today because I drove home to Moscow. I spent all of the day in the car which was oh so fun. I didn't eat very well today either. I had an egg and sausage croissant for breakfast with a Dr. Pepper for caffeine ( we left at 6 a.m.) then I ate some chocolates courtesy of Danielle, had an almond, ate a string cheese, and some pretzels. For lunch we stopped at Wendy's. This was after my little car wreck so I wasn't really hungry. I ordered a 5 piece chicken nugget, a small fry and some water. After we got home I had a huge helping of Manicotti, ate some buffalo chicken pizza, two breadsticks and finished off my energy drink. :D Like I said, I did a crap job of eating today. But I was pretty stressed and bored out of my mind.

Anyway. So as you both know I got in a wreck on my way home. We were about 30 miles outside of Missoula when our car hit a pile of slush and lost traction. We swerved left, overcorrected and swerved right, slammed into the guard rail, spun completely around and drove into the left median. The impact was pretty intense, but luckily no one was injured much more than a few bruises and sore spots. We got out to inspect the damage and I feel very blessed. Only the front is smashed up. The blinkers still work, the brights still work, it's just the main headlights that are gone. The car still miraculously works and we were able to make it home without any other major disastors. It was a pretty sobering experience, and I am defintely feeling the effects of how short life can be, and how in a flash, things can change. But other than the wreck, and not eating very well--my day was pretty good.

I will definitely try to be better about my diet from now on :) Over and Out.

Day One!

Hello Blog! Today is the first official day of my diet/exercise plan. I just wanted to take a minute to let the cyber world know that we are not 3 crazy girls who feel the need to lose extreme amounts of weight to look good. Quite the contrary. We are doing this so we feel good about ourselves. There are a lot of shallow people out there who feel that they are overweight when they are clearly not. We aren't those people. We are not morbidly obese, or even close to obese. But we aren't in shape. That is one of our main goals. We want to do this the healthy way, because from the sound of things, we have all tried the unhealthy route, and that just isn't right. We live in a world that promotes extreme and dangerous dieting plans that starve and diminish the quailty of the body. Just because we saw ourselves in swimming suits and didn't quite enjoy the muffin top effect and jelly rolls, doesn't mean we think we are disgustingly overweight. We would just like to be comfortable in our skin. I think that's what everyone strives for, but we are trying to do it the healthy way. My advice for this session is--You know your body. You know what it can handle and when you've gone too far. Listen to your body. It's only when you are in sync with it that you can truly find your health. Don't push it too far, but remember progress is pushing yourself just enough. :)

Exercise For Today: Walk Away The Pounds: Walk and Kick (30 minutes)
I found this to be the perfect way to start off my exercising. It is a combination of kick boxing, walking and aerobic exercise. I quite enjoyed it!!

After my nice 30 minute session with Leslie Sansone (who I might add, is WAY too thrilled to be on exercise videos) I did 50 sit ups, 25 leg lifts on each side, I worked on my abs for a few minutes and then did some butt shaping exercises. Over all my total session for today was 45 minutes long!! Alright, I'm off to smell good again! Over and Out!


Hey yall! Hailey here. So day one for me was also day one of my second semester of college! Woo I really have high hopes for this semester. Last semester was really rough, but this time I am in a creative writing class and I'm not in any hard math classes...so I think that I will be ok lol or I hope so at least lol.
Anyway, so me being the lazy bum that I am, I didn't want to wake up for my nine o'clock class and of course I kept pushing snooze. So I got up and got ready and had to walk to campus which is about a twenty minute walk. Notice, I skipped breakfast. Not wise. Breakfast boosts your matabolism which burns fat and shat like that so its kinda an important meal. But I skipped it and went to my classes. Then I had an hour long break between classes and took the oportunity to savor the small bites of a sweet n' salty nut bar...so good. Then I went to my class. Btw my teachers all seem very passionate about their subjects which makes me way more excited for the classes. Anyway back to my food intake. So then oh I went book shopping, yeah that was a huge $385 purchase!!!! and the books were uber heavy and I had to carry them home on my twenty minute walk...ouch! Then I got home and I ate five reduced fat nilla wafers (yum!) and a piece of banana bread. Then I went about my daily doings and finally came to my third point of hunger. So for dinner I had a piece of banana bread, two cookies (my roommates made them and I totally forgot about the eating healthy thing...everyone was doing it!!) and a spoonful of peanut butter. After that I went to the gym. I started with a short jog, then moved to some leg lifts and some arms and abs. I felt pretty good. I worked out for a solid forty-five minutes and worked up quite the sweat. It made it very easy to feel that I have gotten out of shape recently. I felt really good about myself after working out though and treated myself to a hot tub full of some very entertaining boys lol good time!
Well thats my day for ya...ciao!


Hey sorry my post is a bit late (30 minutes late to be exact), but it's here anyway! To be honest, I was with Dustin until about 20 minutes ago and I didn't want to blog while I was with him...so here's my day!

I'll start off by saying that I didn't exercise at all today. But don't worry! I have 6 more days to get my three hours in! Anyway, I woke up and got ready. Then I went to lunch with Dustin at Big J's and I had half an order of cheesy delicious bread sticks! Then we hung out for a while and I went to dinner with his family cause it's Jess's birthday. And we had Fongs! Although Fongs is amazing and I love it, I didn't eat much because I was still a bit full from lunch. So I only had a few pieces of mandarin chicken and probably about a serving of fried rice. And then we went back to Dustin's and watched Jess open presents and then guess what?! Chocolate Cake! So I had a piece of cake. And later during Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I had half a bowl of popcorn and a small sprite.

So really...I didn't eat that healthy today, but I didn't exactly eat a ton of food. They weren't huge servings anyway. And I am going to go to Walmart tomorrow to look for some cheap work out videos...maybe I'll be more motivated to work out if I have a fun dance to do! Thanks for listening guys!

P.S. - I'm feeling much better today. No more flu! YAY!

Water is Good! And Being Sick Sucks

Hooray for the first individual post! Unfortunately, it's the only thing I have to applause today. Just because I want to tell someone...I woke up at five in the morning with what seemed to be the flu. So I've been on the couch all day with various flu-like pains hoping it will all be over tomorrow.

Now that I'm done feeling sorry for myself, I have a bit of info concerning healthy eating habits and losing weight. As we all know, water is a necessary part of every diet, especially a healthy one. Well guess what?! Getting enough water also helps to lose weight. Here is the logic behind that idea. Our kidneys' main function is a filter. Our liver's main function is to convert fat into energy, but it serves as a back up filter when the kidneys can't do their job. Well, if you don't get enough water, then your kidney's can't perform as good as they're supposed to...so the liver has to take over as a filter; therefore, straying away from it's main job - to convert fat into energy.

I hope that made sense. The point is, if you're trying to lose weight then drinking water really helps. Every human needs at least 8 8oz. glasses of water a day. But (according to my mom, who is kind of a health nut/exercise expert) if you're exercising and trying to get a nice work out, you should get 10 8oz. glasses of water. Oh and spread it out throughout the day...don't drink it all at once cause it can screw with your electrolytes and you can die.

Game Plan: Lose weight, get skinny, and get in shape...basically look sexy as...heck. :)

Hi I'm Hailey. I lead a very boring life but decided I was overweight and should probably fix that. Here is the blog on which I will report my dieting and exercising. My color is blue, just in case you want to follow my progress and shiz.

Hey there. So this is Danielle...and I'm also doing this weight loss eating right thingy. I'm kind of okay with my weight, but I really want to be in shape again (I like muscle!) and if I get in shape now it'll probably lessen my chance of getting huge when I'm old. Alright so I'm gonna post my reports here...enjoy!

Hello! This is Bergen coming at you live from this here bloggy thing. As already stated, we're three chicks in a hot tub trying to look sexy in our bathing suits. So, basically we're going to be posting our diets and exercise plans for the world to see. Alright all you avid blog stalkers, :) we've got a new one for you. Enjoy.

Alright, so now you know us, and I bet you're wondering why in the bleep we started a blog. Well here is the story:

One cold night we three girls decided to go hot tubbing, but were horrified when we saw ourselves in bathing suits. Of course, the conversation in the hot tub turned towards how we could make ourselves more appealing to the masses of swarming hot men to be found in college. Being at different places of higher learning, we were forced to think of a way to stay in touch and update each other on our various progressions toward(s) total hotness. Myspace being out of date and Facebook being too public, we turned towards the latest and greatest....BLOGGING!!

Rules of the Game:

We are competing against each other to see who can lose weight and look hot fastest. But mostly this is just for support. Because we know that alone, we will come to terms with epic failure and turn to cookies for moral support. Sad day. Basically we will report our food intake and our energy output and give random yet helpful advice on how to look cute without going crazy anorexic. Also, this blog is a way for the three of us to stay in touch, so it is not primarily for dieting/exercise. This is a way of letting the world know how much we like each other, and hate everyone else :) Have fun. We know we will. :D
