No more!

Goodness!!! After being so careful with my diet for so long, I have been a little off the wagon. I had a chocolate chip cookie on the ottoman because a phone call came in. Soooooo, guess whoooooo came over and snuck it?????

You got it, it was Daisy, the one who lies in wait for opportunity!!

She took it and ran! So guess what, I guess that means. NO MORE for me!!

It's a sign.

Gotta Sweat

Okay guys, I gotta say, Christina's "sweet" blog is mean't just for her! But her words are for you to get up and cooking! She is an inspiration of hard work and diligence!! Go read it and follow her day to day workouts! It isn't easy to say the least!! AND she has kids and she homeschools. None of us have a single excuse NOT to exercise!

You go girls! (gottasweat.blogspot.com)

I really choose to be open, as hard as it is sometimes!

Open hearts or crushed hearts???

Elder Todd Christofferson said , " The gospel cannot be written in your heart unless your heart is open!"

Trials do not have to crush our hearts, but open them to the light of Christ!! We can choose between a heart that is bitter or hard or a heart that is soft and open.

What say ye???

Just when you thought the show was getting old!

This past week I received a sweet email on my deniprestonfitness.com website requesting that a gal would write up her feelings on working out to Total Body Workout! It was such a sweet request and so I went to her blog! She has been recording her feelings of each workout and I loved hearing how she felt. So I am inviting you to go to her blog just to read her feelings and watch her results as she goes through every workout from the show, is that just the most flattering thing you have ever heard of?



It is girls like her that made that grueling time so all worth it for all who were involved with the show. I know the producer, Kendall, would get a great deal of satisfaction that he served so many women like her so well, at a very busy time in their lives.



Thank you to all who participated, with blood, sweat and tears as it developed from a brainchild to the production!!

Okay everyone, here you go, this is too funny!! I found this in Nate's papers I have kept on Marriage from BYU. I think you will get a good laugh out of this!!


THE RULES OF MARRIAGE

1. The wife always makes the rules.

2. The rules are subject to change at any time without prior notification.

3. No husband can possibly know the rules.

4. If the wife suspects the husband knows all the rules, she must immediately change some of the rules.

5. The wife is never wrong.

6. If the wife is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding which was a direct result of something the husband did or said wrong.

7. If Rule 6 applies, the husband must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding.

8. The wife can change her mind at any given point of time.

9. The husband must never change his mind without express written consent from the wife.
