Valentines Dance

Last night my ward had a Semi-Formal Valentines Day Dance. They set up everyone with someone from the ward, so it was way fun. They served us dinner, took 'prom pictures', and taught us some dance moves by these swing dancers. We had a really fun time! Here are some photos!

Boot Camp Continues

So, last week we did it. Everyday we worked out and did everything we planned on, and somehow..... I gained 1 pound. hmmmm. Well I am mixing this up! Now I will be working out 2 times a day plus strength training, and moderating my diet much more. It is going to be hard, but worth it.

Boot Camp

My roommate Morgan and I are on a huge adventure. It's formally named, "Morgan and Chelsea's Weight Loss Adventures!" (I wanted to name it, "plan", but Morgan said we had to get excited about it, and the first step was with the name.) Anyway, every Sunday (we started yesterday) we plan what we're going to do, like what classes we're going to at Gold's. Today we had planned to go to Kickboxing, which I have done lots and really enjoy. Well, what we saw was more than we ever expected. We walked into a completely packed room, full of very very fit men and woman wearing punching gloves ( I guess that's what you would call them), with a huge punching bag next to each of them. Needless to say we were totally out of our element, completely intimidated and lacking the seemingly necessary punching gloves. We slowly backed out of the room, and did an hour of cardio on our own. We decided we will go to the class another time, but when we could get there early and chat with the instructor (I think we're going Saturday.)

After the hour of cardio, Morgan dragged me over to work on strength training. We almost died. Right in the middle of the workout, Morgan turns to me and says, 'Doesn't this make you feel so empowering?".... I replied, "Maybe after a few days, right now I feel like I am dying." But we did it, one day down and so many more to go. We're working out 1.5-2 hours a day Monday-Saturday. Boot camp is ON!!

P.S. I am already sore.

I am a pirate.

Hey, long time no see. Sorry for the delay in posting, but my life isn't blog-worthy lately. Until yesterday when I scratched my cornea, (self-diagnosed). It hurt so bad! It hurt when it was open and when it was shut, but better shut. So after a long day of pain, I finally did what i had to do. See:



It just felt so much better shut than open, and all the Google articles i read regarding my condition (I'm not a hypochondriac) said to keep it shut. I got the eye patch first, but it wouldn't hold the eye shut, so tape came next. It hurt all night, but when I woke up this morning, most of the pain was gone. My eye is swollen for sure now, so I look a little funny, but a full recovery is quickly approaching.



P.S. this is not the first (or last) time I was a pirate. (Thanks for the reminder Brooke!)

remodel.

lots of time on my hands here.

For Julie!

Here is the beautiful pie Julie made at Thanksgiving. It was yummy!
