Happy Birthday Logan!

Today is Logan's 27th birthday! He's so close to being 30 (it's a joke between Kaya, Logan and I)!

AS for the present that I got him, I got him a goldfish. Recently, his favorite two died a week apart and he was really depressed about it. So I told him that I would get him a goldfish.

Last night we headed to PetSmart (just because we know that they have better goldfish than most places). And here is his new little friend!!!

Meet Pumpkin Patch!!! Pumpkin for short.

Last year, Barbara brought some more fishes for him...I don't think I've took a picture and posted so here they are. I didn't get one of the sucker fish.

The fish on the right is Pumpkin and that's the other fish on the left ( it has...like 3 names)

And meet the biggest fish in the tank as of now. I've names it Snow...Logan doesn't know that yet.

One Busy Saturday

Saturday was so busy!!! We had so much to do and things that are happening this next few months.

Let's see, the day started off wrong. Logan forgot to finished setting the alarm clock and we ended up getting up over more than an hour. We was actually cutting it to two hours too. So we got up and Logan run to the bathroom and I made breakfast for us. As soon as I finished, I hurried up and jumped in the shower myself. We was suppose to be at our church building at 9:30am but we actually didn't get there until 10 o'clock. We are in the primary. We teach the sunbeams and we was practicing for the Primary Program that was today. (Because of the Primary Program I wasn't able to go to see Kaya's Homecoming talk...I felt bad. At least she understand why). We even got out of there late because they were having trouble getting the pizza there. And I am proud to say that I did not take a piece of pizza. Logan had a piece...I let him considering he has already lost 20 lbs from the last 2 1/2 months. We got home about 1 o'clock that afternoon.

As soon as we got home, we had to start getting ready to be a the temple by 1:30. Logan's sister Amanda was getting her endowments. Before getting there, we headed to subway and had a small lunch. We got there about 15 minutes earlier than planned and found out that Logan's mom left her camera at home. So we went to her house (which is 5 minutes away from the temple) and picked it up and was soon back at the temple. By the time we got back, it was time to head in. Amanda's good friend Jason and his mom came for it. It was really nice. Every one that came was us, Barbara, Carolyn, Amanda, Jason and his mom ( don't know her name yet).  I always seems to get experiences of some type of emotions whenever I go through a session or a sealing. With the recent struggles, I ask the Lord for help but I got something so surprising that I was so happy that I was crying to the point I had snot running everywhere. I was so embarrassed!!!!

I was able to clean up and was the last one out. As soon as we got out of the temple we took a few pictures for the experience. Amanda again told us about how her mom said to take a few pictures of us (Logan's Mom is always the one taking the pictures....so when we heard about this we were all surprised). Afterwards, we (Jason, Amanda, Carolyn, Barbara, Logan and I) went to Apple bee's for dinner. Later, Barbara dropped off Jason and ran to the store before meeting us back at her place. We than had brownies (fudge-like which is not Logan's favorite) and ice cream and Logan opened up his presents. He got a propane lantern and swiss rolls which I have asked if he could throw away but he has said that he will take his time eating them.

After that, we had to go and get my sister, Breanna and her step-brother Carl and watch them for a few hours which ended up like an extra hour. But we went to get Logan's present from me at petsmart. I'll write about that in the next post. We than we back to our place and played RockBand Lego. She really love that one. We played until we where so tired that all we can do was watch t.v. until her mom got here. Than off to bed! 

Starting Another Blog

I've decided to start another blog...but for a different reason. I was going to use this one as a workout journal and keeping health. With the new diet I will be working out a lot and will need to keep track of my process somehow and since I'm on here so often, why not do a blog. Plus everyone will be able to read it so if they even need some guidance about something that involving working out, they can go there. I’m still working on getting it started with all the facts but I am doing the journaling too. It may take a while to make it same like it’s doing its job. 

I am also hoping this will help me make sure that I keep on track with eating healthy too. I’m tired of feeling sick all the time so I may as well eat like I want to get health again. Anyways, you are welcome to follow me in my new adventure.

10x Harder

I wonder why some times I want to involve my husband about getting health. Don't get me wrong, I love doing it with him but...he's a guy. MOST guys don't usually like doing things like changing your diet (especially when it comes to stuff that they love...like food).

With this diet I had to cut out some major stuff that he enjoys a lot but not only of his but mine too. I feel bad but I really am tried of being sick all the time and want to get health. As of yet this is the only one that I had great results within a week of doing it. Not only did I lose weight but I also felt great! I was up and about and ready for the day before 9!

But what really gets me is that every meal that I make Logan always ask for something that he knows that he can't have. It's getting really annoying and I just want to give up on the whole thing especially for the day too. I don't know why but it makes me so mad that I feel like I don't want to do anything productive. I mean...I let him eat pretty much whatever he wants if we are eating at a family's house so he can enjoy it once in a while. I really can't complain since he's dropped 20 lbs in the last 2 1/2 months (which is not fair!) while I've only drop the 7 lbs in the last month.

I just don't know how to get it across to him to how important this is to me. I even bought him a book just for him to help him understand how the whole diet goes (it's for the men who try this diet) but he has of yet read one day on it (due to the fact of school and work). I hope it gets through here soon...because the holidays are coming and it's going to get a lot hard now.

Starting to Workout....Again

I have just recently started to workout...again. I am hoping to really stick to it this time.

I am not only doing cardio but weight training...which scary me because the whole idea of weight training is new and makes me think of these huge, ripped guys. But I am going to do my best. Right now I am working on getting back into the water workout. I will be doing laps or the water aerobics. I am hoping to at least start with one workout as weight training. I'm really hoping to see improvements quick but than again everyone is different. I guess I will have to wait and see the results myself next month. Wish me luck!

Round 1: The Waiting Game

So...I just finish my last pill for the provera. I now have to wait for my period...anywhere from 5 to 10 days. I hate this part. Although I did spot on my 8th day of the pill (sorry for tmi). I don't know what that means but I guess it could be a good sign. I will have to wait and see.

Now, after waiting I than have to go clomid. I have heard of stories where you can take the clomid on either 3cd - 7cd or 5cd - 9cd. I guess the first one makes it so that you are more likely to release a few more eggs but the eggs themselves may not be top condition. Meanwhile, while taking it on 5cd - 9cd makes it so you release less eggs but are more mature and healthier. I think either way would of been fine. I just want to see if this is what we needed to do this whole time. And with the new diet...I hope that helps out too. But maybe the next time we have kids I won't have to get help due to it.

The Eating-Clean Diet

In the last month (I am not sure when exactly), I came across this great "diet" (life changing...I not a person who looks into any yo-yo diets).


Not many (or many of you) have heard about the "The Eat-Clean Diet". I was one of the many that didn't know about this diet. I was already eating pretty health (well, from what I learned by myself), but my doctor want me to keep changing diets just because we couldn't find the right one for my body. The diet she wanted me to look at was the Paleo Diet..it cuts out a lot of good nutrient and I didn't feel as if was for me. While looking up this diet, I ran across eat-clean. I had a hard time researching it online so I order the "Just the Rules: The Eat-Clean Diet". Once I got it I had it read within the day. It was nuts. I went from "ok...lets see what this one has to offer" to "I want to start now!" IN THE MANNER OF MINUTES. With my college degree, I understand that this is one of the best diets that I have even read about. It does not cut out any of the food groups but it does cut out the processed, overly sugar and toxic foods that we all love and want.

It's only been a few days since I started but my cravings (you know: chocolate, ice cream and what-not) have almost disappear!! I no longer in need for these things. Yes, once in a blue moon I wall enjoy them but only for special occasions like holidays and birthdays. And the other best part of this whole thing is that I am always full and happy. I don't ever over eat anymore due to the fact that my stomach has a mind of it's own now. I've already have lost 2 lbs and lots of inches! A funny thing is, I haven't even started exercising again. It's all been from what I eat.

I am not saying that you have to follow this diet too. It's just a great one for me. If you are interested click on this link to see recipes and many other things. If you want to buy the books...I would recommend going to amazon or look around for the best price ( I just got out of college and my husband in grad school for his masters...which means we are don't have lots of money).

Wish me luck!!! I really hoping that this is it! 

My Small Blessings

Last week (or was it the week before???) Logan went in and got tested. We received great news that there was nothing wrong with Logan. Everything was perfect. I was so happy for him! That was one less thing to worry about.

But than I realized that it was all my fault that we don't have kids yet. I was miserable. I don't think I was so miserable in my life besides for the miscarriage. I went for a day or so before trying to talk to someone about it. I have some friends who are in the same problem as us. So I decided to write her. I let her know how I felt and everything. I was really surprised when a few hours later not only did she message me back but she was very supportive about the whole thing. And what makes it even better is she gave me a few talks to read. I cried after reading them. I was so happy that I wasn't in this alone and that this friend was willing to help me out even tho she is struggling too. I really am gratefully to her. I still have to email her back but I have a different look on things now. I'm happier too. It's friends like them that are truly a blessing. ^-^ And all my friend who are always supportive of me with everything I do. YOU all are truly my small BLESSINGS.

October General Conference 2012 Saturday

For conference today, I went over to Kaya's and Marlene's house. Logan was working all day and so I didn't really want to watch it alone so I asked if I can join them for conference since Logan wasn't going to be able to watch it with me. So they let me come over and watch with them. I was there the whole day.

Today we also receive great news from President Monson about missionaries:

And the next two things that I saw was this (without the words):

And Kaya jumping everywhere! She was so excited that she was talking so fast in Spanish. These was a few of the highlights of the day beside conference and the speech from Shayne M. Bowen. 

I really love conference. It has confront me in so many ways today. I hope that tomorrow is just as good as today was. ^-^

Plus I love this saying by Ann M. Dibb (Second Counselor). I'll have to put in my own touch but it would look really great!

We Made A Decision

Today I went to the doctors. I was kind of nervous and what not for it being something that is such a big decision. Logan and I did decide to try the Clomid. Dr. Wheeler also talked to me how to take the stuff and what it does.

So now she is putting me on the Clomid. But since I have not had a period since August so is also going to put me Provera. Provera is more medicine but it makes you body have a period. So she wanted me to take the Provera to get my body going and than take the Clomid. I was also asked today if Logan has ever got checked. I was surprised when she asked. I would never thought of having Logan get checked since we already got pregnant once.(Don't take this wrong) But than I thought "what if that was just a fluke and what if that is the reason why I had the miscarriage in the first place?". I know that sounds bad but I really didn't mean it in a rude way. Dr Wheeler and I both thought that I should do a few rounds to see if anything happens. If not, then she is going to send us to a specialist.

 I think the only reason why I never thought of taking it is the fact that I am scared of medicine recently. When I got diagnosed a few years back I was told that I wouldn't be able to have kids...and while I was getting my insulin resistance treated I have huge side affects, one which make it very hard to breath. I guessing that I am scared that something will go wrong again. But this is a big decision for us.

I also told my Doctor today that both of my parents were twins and she was surprised (I thought I told her once). She said that we may have twin even without any help one day than. But my next appointment is at the beginning of they year Jan. 17th unless something good or bad happens in the next few months.
