New Challenge!

Today is day one of a wellness challenge that I am doing with some friends. One of the things I need to do every day to get one of the points is journal a gratitude entry, so this will be where I do that. I love this challenge because it really focuses on an overall wellness, instead of just tracking pounds, inches or meals. Some of the things I am doing daily to get my points is reading something uplifting for 15 minutes, not eating after 8, no sugar, no fast food or junk food, eating fruit an veggies, etc. I get one free point off of one of the things. Today it will have to be my 30 min of exercise. With the kids out of school and it being a wierd chopped up day it just didn't happen. However, I got every other point so I get a perfect day!

Today I am so grateful for my family. We had SO much fun at family night tonight, Cade had had a little tiff with his friends and just wanted to stay alone and pout but we made him come and eat breakfast for dinner and play Apples an Apples with us. Wyatt started doing this yell and making the most HILARIOUS FACE we were all dying! Even Cade was laughing. Holy Crap it was SO FUNNY!! Then I was laughing so hard and teasing Mark because he bought this crazy watch "for work" that he bought for like 50 bucks, then there was a price tag IN the box for 24 dollars...whooops. It is a video camera watch, and all the directions are in translated chinese, which were SO OFF. Best of all.....the brand is a TIE EX. HAHAHA. So, even though I had one of the roughest weekends I've personally had in many years, my sweet silly family had me in stitches, then, we had a great lesson about how to start to build your own testimony. I really felt inspired to teach the kids about it out of the scriptures. Can an evening at home with the fam be any better!
