Diets, practices, sickness and stuff




Its the last day of February. We've flown through this month with minor ups and downs. The family is in full swing with the musical. The kids are loving it!! Katelin is going to be an orphan in Annie and the boys are orphans in Oliver. Kyle is playing in numerous parts. The Musical "Salute to Broadway" is showing at the Moses Lake High School Theatre March 15, 16, and 17th. You can buy your tickets at the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce.

Kyle and I started our diets this month. Kyle is somwhere around -13 pounds and I am currently going to report -9. We are following the Dr.Atkins for life diet. At first it was quite challenging until I got creative and found recipes that included our favorite foods. And now that I'm opening the restaurant and leave the house at 5:30 in the morning Kyle has become very domesticated. Eating right is the easy part. It's finding time to excersise that is tough. With all that Kyle has going on it's quite difficult. For me I just grab the kids and go for a run. Cody and Weston love to run. Me not so much. But they keep me motivated.

We've had the flu it our house a couple of times this month. Although it's just bouncing between Katelin and Savannah. Maybe the stomach flu is just what I need to kick start another loss of poundage :-) but for now I'll have to stick to my crunchies and 2 miles run/walk/jog. We really are loving the Atkins though! It's not the old Atkins. There are tons of recipes and products that are sold at Walmart.
