THE BIGGEST LOSER

At the end of week 1, both Team Johnson and Team Scripps did really well, with both guys losing way too much. Men suck. But, everyone is working hard and losing the poundage! Adam and I are on the treadmill nearly everyday and have done a complete overhaul on what we're eating! We had baked fish and veggies for dinner last night and it was good! Anyway, that's the update. My momma is staying at our house until tomorrow night. She is watching Evan for us while Mary is on vacation. Evan is SOOOOOO in love with his Grandma O. So excited they get some time together. AND, my sis and nephew are coming into town next week, so I'll get to spend some time with her pregnant behind too! YAY!

I realize this has been a lot of blogging with no pics and that is boring, but it's better than nothing, right?!?!? Right?!! KJ OUT.

Prayers

Hola Peoples...

So, I work with a lovely chickipoo named Rae. Rae is such a good person and so strong. However, her mother (who is only 65) has been diagnosed as being in the early stages of Alzheimer's and seems to be progressing abnormally quickly. They are in the midst of dr's appts, ER visits, panicked calls from mom, and Rae is the only person there for her mom, so EVERYTHING is being heaped onto her shoulders. She does not complain. She does whatever is necessary for her mom. She wakes up to confused calls from her mom and gets them all throughout the day. She deals with doctor's offices and staff, who can be and have been quite rude. She goes to her mom's house to try to explain little things and help her with financial matters. She drops everything when her mom needs something. Her mom is so confused and so upset, b/c even though she is going downhill fast, she is still aware enough to know how confused she is.... Anyway, I was just hoping anyone willing would send up some prayers for Rae and for her mom as it is all starting to catch up with her and there's just new stressors every day. From the paperwork end of things to the watching her mom look like a "terrified child" and not be able to subtract 7 from 100, Rae is just really upset and in need of prayer. Thank you for taking the time!

OH....on a personal note...big boy Evan stayed for an afternoon at a new place yesterday and was such a good boy! He only cried when I picked him up to take him home! He is there today and couldn't wait to get there! I barely got a smooch when I dropped him off. I was really worried about the whole situation, so I am so thankful for my adaptable, big boy and to Amber, for giving him her time!

A little help please?

Hey ya'll!

Things are still just dandy around here...Adam and I are eating healthy and working out a lot and it feels really good!
I do, however, have one thing I could use some advice/prayers about please.
Lately, I am really struggling with missing Evan during the day. It's not that I am in any way worried about his welfare at Grandma Johnson's, I just miss him. I get him for a couple hours at night and he's turning into such a little kid, I feel like I'm missing out on the every day things that are making him who he is! Every morning, I feel a little sadder when I drop him off. Today I dropped him and he was waving bye-bye to me from the window and I just lost it. He was fine, but I wasn't. Does anyone have any good advice? If not, I'll take prayers. Life is good and I have a happy, healthy family, I'm just really struggling with this one little thing right now.

THE BIGGEST LOSER

Hallelujah! I'm so excited....

It's about time....Adam and I are gonna stop all the whining and do something. We are matching up with our buddies, Jim & Jill, and having a 3 month BIGGEST LOSER competition.....We are making some serious lifestyle changes and are going to do our best to get healthy. On a personal note, you know Adam and I have been working on Baby #2, well, I'm thinking that I'll feel a lot better if I start from a healthy place, so we'll delay that just a little bit(unless God has a different plan :))....So, anyway, it's time to work hard and change some bad habits! Oooh, and at the end of the deal, there will be a sweet reward for the winning team (we're still in negotiations on that one)... So, wish us luck...and the Scripps too, of course! We will all be some fiiiiiiiine specimens come June. .I'll try to remember to take a before picture of Adam and me.. .lol ...

PS Thank you to Megan Sterk, whose hard work and discipline, sparked something in me and made me want to buckle down. You look fantastic Megan!

PPS Another thank you to Jill, for taking pictures of me and my behind (blech)....If that wasn't inspiration, I don't know what was!

Anyone still look at this?

HELLOOOOOO!!!!

Sorry to those of you who have actually checked my blog! I'm a horrible blogger! I don't take pictures and I forget to post anything!

January was a rather exhausting month...but now things are back to normal and really good.

I'm so in love with my husband and my son.

Evan is getting so big! He sings constantly, talks even more and is so much fun! He makes us laugh every day! He loves trains, tractors, anything on wheels and loves to draw. Daddy is trying to teach him how to catch right now.....not really interested. He'd rather throw the ball. He also coaches Daddy along with a "throw, throw, catch, catch" as Daddy recently learned to juggle. LOL

We've had snow, snow, snow this winter. It feels like it will never end and I'm so ready to just get outside and play! Come on, Spring!

Anyway, I'll try to be better, but I make no guarantees.... I hope all is well with the 2 of you who still bother to stop by to see if I've posted anything! Have a great day!

Oh, and any pictures you see (if I posted them...I think I've forgotten how to do this!) are courtesy of Jill Scripps! We had such a fun weekend with them!

5 Random Facts About Me . . . Hmmmmmm. . . . some of these I know I've used before. . .


1. The inside of my left ear itches when I drink hot chocolate.. . .down deep where you can't scratch and it doesn't matter how you pull on your ear or wiggle your nose. . . nothing helps!

2. I met Adam on e-harmony

3. I love to sing. . . . not saying that it sounds good, but I do it all day long. . . .ask my co-workers, and though it sounds extremely annoying, I'm gonna go ahead and call it part of my charm. :)

4. I will one day be on Wheel of Fortune. I kick butt at Wheel of Fortune. But what if I got on and then every time I spun I got Bankrupt or Lose A Turn??? I think I would never get over it!

5. I enjoy doing laundry. . . just not putting it away. . .
