So I know that a few of my friends and family are working out, I was wondering if we could set up a little thing were you post your daily workout, what you did, for how long, and maybe a good for you meal/treat idea. I figure maybe if we are accountable to each other we might do better. If you want to join me, just leave me comment
8-27-09 For each move, do 1 or 2 sets of 12 repetitions
Upper body:
Chest Press With Band
Bent Over Rows
Supermans
Basic Dumbbell Curls
Rear Triceps Extension
Front Arm Raises
Lower body:
Lunges
Basic Squats
Dumbbell Leg Extensions
Core:
Cross-Armed Crunches
Cardio:
biked about 7 miles in 20 minutes
Treat idea:
Black bean brownies
1 box brownie mix
1 can (15 oz) black beans
Open the can of black beans, rinse well. With beans back in the can, add enough water to cover beans. Put in blender or food processor and puree. Add puree to brownie mix, and then bake according to package directions.
You DO NOT add the eggs or oil that the recipe calls for, JUST the black bean puree!
Makes 20 brownies-- 2 Weight Watcher Points each!
These are pretty rich and fudgy, and you cant tell that they aren't "regular" brownies. They have lots of protein and fiber, too.

Made it home
Well I made it back to Colorado, the flight was good, Abigail did great just like always,she was a bit fussy at times but I think it was cause it was so hot in the plan, she had red checks and sweating, so was I.
I had dad come through security with me, so he could help me getting everything through the x-ray machine, once we were on the other side we started to people watch we saw lots of interesting people, we saw ladies who like to wear what look like underwear out, we saw lady's that looks like men, men who looked like they peed there pants, we saw, "rich" men and women, we saw people get upset at the ticket counter,we saw people running to the gate. i love people watching everyone is so different.
Amanda and mom also came to the airport, I hate saying good bye, the only thing getting me through this one was I will be seeing them in a month. And dustun should be there also, so that will make the trip even better.
Thanks for letting us come visit, it was a super quick trip, but lots of fun.
Abigail is a "expert flyer" she has been in 6 different planes.

Lagoon
On Monday August 17th, Travis, Amanda, Mark and I all went to lagoon, I haven't been there in so many years, and when I do go I usually don't have anyone to ride rides with, but not this time, we all wanted to go on all the rides, and that is pretty much what we did. We rode the Terror ride, Colossus: The Fire Dragon, The bat, Double Thunder Raceway, Rocket, The white roller coaster, Sky ride, Spider, wicked, the train, tidle-wave, bumper cars, ferris wheel
My new favorite rides are the spider which does this: A first of its kind in North America, this spinning coaster takes riders to a new extreme. Four passengers load into the coaster car - two facing forward and two facing back. The car remains in this locked position as it descends the initial drop. As the car begins to ascend the second hill it then unlocks, allowing free horizontal spin - up to 20 rotations per minute depending on weight and gravity! With unique track configurations, which include an 82 degree embankment called the Immelmann, a stretch of slalom track, and a 360 degree carousel turn, riders are given a truly unique experience.
And Wicked: t's BIG, It's FAST, it's "WICKED", and it's coming in 2007. Lagoon announces it's most thrilling coaster, EVER! This state of the art coaster will thrill riders of all ages with it's unique ride elements.
Riders will be launched to the top of the 110 ft. tower at speeds close to 41 mph. This element is especially unique as most roller coasters slowly lift riders to the top of the first hill, letting gravity do the rest. "WICKED" riders will instead be propelled by means of a linear synchronous motor (LSM) drive system, essentially rocketing riders up and over the top of the first hill.
The 8-rider vehicles travel individually and achieve speeds up to 55 mph, passing though steep valleys, high banked turns, half-pipe, heart-roll inversion and more. Riders will be seated in two rows of four, facing forward, with the back row seats elevated above the front row. The lap/leg restraints will provide an exhilarating upper body freedom for riders.
WE all had so much fun, we were a bit dizzy, but doing great, after the park closed we went to Iggys for dinner, then we were trying to find a place open to get some pie, but we had no luck, and the way home we played "would you rather" finally around midnight, we were home, and ready for bed.
The next day I looked at my poor feet, they were so sore from walking around all day, and my toe was killing me, I also had to wear Tennis shoes in order to ride rides, well I was walking on my feet all wrong, and I got a blisters, so my feet look like homeless people feet. Time for a pedicure.

Elder Price and Camping
On Sunday 8-16-09, My "little" brother Travis was privileged to get ordained an Elder in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I am so happy I was able to be a part of this wonderful experience, I am so proud of him, he is such a good example and good friend, I know he will do great in Collage and when he goes on his mission, He is going to make a great, husband and Father, I love him so much.
After church we all came home and loaded up in the truck, Dad, Travis, mom in front, Abigail, me and Amanda in back, We like each other. we went up to the property, we cooked hot dogs, hamburgers, had chips and drinks, we four wheeled around, we laughed so much, we made fun of each other and other people, Abigail is such a trooper, she would talk, make faces, and want anything we had.
Travis showed us how to make éclairs while camping, they were oddly good.
Step one, get wooden sticks, coat with oil, or pam.
Step two, wrap a canned biscuit around stick, the roast over fire until golden.
Step three, remove biscuit form stick and squirt some vanilla pudding into hole,
Step four, frost with chocolate frosting and enjoy!
I had so much fun, I laughed and joked around so much. I love being with my family, now only if dustun could be with us.

Flying
On Saturday August 15th Abigail and I flew back to Utah. Dustun and I stayed up watching a movie and never went to bed until 12:00 and I never fell asleep until 12:30, well 3:00 came around way to fast, so I got Abby up and ghost feed her, then I got Dustun up and had him take her bed apart, we were out the door at 4:00, then to Dustun a non boarding ticket so he could help me get through security, but I forgot, so I had to but my bag, my backpack, my shoes all my formula, my zip-lock bag of 3 Oz liquids, my car seat, the base, the stroller all on the x-ray machine, all the while holding Abigail, it was a zoo, then 3 seconds later, I had to re-assemble and put everything back. We get on the plane, and Abigail has been awake since about 5:00I figure the second I nursed her she will pass out for the whole flight, nope she ate had a 10 min nap and was awake the rest of the flight, which she was good, she looked out the window, looked at the man next to us, and played with the things on the tray table, she kept grabbing for my cup so i let her have a drink of my apple juice she did really good, she grabbed it correctly and never even spilled, ( she is growing up so fast)
Finally we landed, We were all excited to see mom/grandma, dad/grandpa, daughter and granddaughter, mo mwas crying then i started crying but she gave them a big smile, I am so happy to have them, I am so happy they love us as much as they do.
We went to breakfast, then we went to my aunt Susan's house, where we visited with her for a little bit, my cousin's had spent the night so they came up and visited for a bit, then we came and picked Amanda up, and went to Logan, My grandma and Grandpa didn't know we were coming, my grandmas face was priceless, she saw me walk through the door, and she had the look of, oh crap I am loosing my mind, then she started to cry, she misses Abigail and I so much, it just brakes my heart when we have to say good bye. My aunt JB and Mino were there so I was able to visit with them also.
By this time I am going on 13 hours awake on 3 hours of sleep, I am pooped,, we get to my moms house unload I make Abigail a bottle and I slept for a few minutes, then mom asks if she can take Abby, I gladly get up and head to my room there i passed out until 6:15, I probably would have slept longer but i was so hungry all I had to eat was breakfast, as I am laying there I realize it is so quiet, I get up and find a note, from mom, saying they took Abby to the ward party, so i call to see if there is still food, and I drive down there, and ate and talked and played volleyball.
I am so done, but I have to get Abigail in bed then I run to Walmart to get her food and diapers, finally around 11:00 I passed out
It was a long day, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
