A support group for friends and family to help us lose weight and get fit and feel good about ourselves so we can be better sisters, mothers, wives and better servants of the Lord.

Holly was a stay at home, home-schooling mom of three boys. Alexander is a biological son born in 1994, and Max and Daniel were adopted from Russia in 2004, born in 1995 and 1996. Max has a sister born in 1994 who is still in an orphanage in Russia. We tried desperately to adopt her since 2002, but that is no longer possible. In 2007, we adopted 2 year old Rosie from China. Our blogs are meant to share our hopes, dreams, our family, our love and to record our journey toward perfecting our family. We hope the Lord will bless you as he has us.

Salt

Well, I knew salt was bad for us, but I never knew to what extent. I have been reading Gillian McKeith - You Are What You Eat and also doing some other research. As you all know -- I have stubborn fat and it is hard to get rid of. Gillian M. says that Salt is one of the 3 worst things for you; salt, sugar and fat. Also, I've recently learned that salt is an appetite stimulant! You know how when you eat Chinese food, you can stuff yourself and then an hour later you are hungry again? Well, there you have it -- Chinese food is full of salt.
Stay away from it and see what happens!

Great Website!

Hi Ladies!
I found a great web-site

http://www.calorie-count.com/

If you logon and create an account, you can use it as a journal of eating and exercize. You plug in what you ate, how much activity you got for the day and it tracks everything -- very cool.
See you tomorrow at church for our walk.

May 9

We had a great time on our temple trip. I did pretty well with food and I felt like I got lots of exercise since I had to go up and down the stairs and out to the car a million or so times! I did eat a taco salad at the base but refrained from anything more sinful.

Donna is walking with Ronde' and I now and that is so nice. We are going to start meeting on Tuesdays at the church again. I think the support is so important.
