Weight Loss Update

So I had some rocky points in the last 3 weeks. I was over a week behind in the competition. But really the competition for me is just to have something to be accountable for to keep me motivated. I ended up losing .6%. The thing is that I am fine with that. I have been working on my diet and lets just say that most of it consists of fruits, and veggies now. I also have been working out 4 days a week. Which is much better than my average of 0-1 days/week. I think that I have been building muscle back again hence not much weight loss. I know that I need to measure myself as that is the best way to keep track of my progress. But I can never find my tape measure and that takes way more time than just standing on a scale. So that is my next goal. Here's to a new month!

New Year's Resolutions

This year we actually remembered to do my family tradition of eating black-eyed peas. Here was our meal...not too shabby.

So now that we are going to have good luck...here are a few of our New Year's Resolutions...(we tried to be realistic). Each month on Fast Sunday (the first Sunday of the month) we are going to try to make a tradition of checking up on how our resolutions are doing.

Kate: Run a 10K, debt free by August 1st, develop a relationship with the scriptures again, travel out of the country, read at least 5 non-fiction books
Omar: Eating no more than 2 times/week fast food, not spending money from his checking account with exception of bills, give Kate a massage every week, improve personal scripture study, try to look like I did on the mission (I'm not sure how realistic this last one is...have you seen him?) let me show you.

 First of all he has hair...I would die for him to have that again!
