So I got 73 points. That is including my bonus points!  Not good!!  I am very disappointed with myself.  My biggest problem last week was the fruits and veggies.  There was only 1 day that I actually got all 5.  It was a very emotional week for the Steidleys.  Brian's grandma passed away on Tues.  They knew she wasn't going to make it through the day so Brian left work early and we spent the afternoon in Rockland.  Then Friday his dad had a heart attack and was life flighted to Poky.  So we spent that afternoon at the hospital.  Very scary.  He is doing fine now.  He got to go home yesterday and the funeral was this morning.  It was a very nice funeral.  It puts things in perspective.  She was 98 years old and just to imagine all the things she experienced in this life are nothing compared to eternity!!  So grateful for the knowledge we have of eternal life.   Since I had other things on my mind and I would go a couple days without marking my points I had to think hard about what I had eaten, etc.  Crazy. Good  thing I love drinking water since that was my bonus.  Plus with it being so hot I was downing the water!!  I am so looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!!! 

First of all, I want everyone to know that I actually did resist the Oreos last week--I was able to have 1 3/4 cookies on my birthday and Saturday (my 100 free calories each day).   But, I have to be honest--I hid the second package and I am going to eat a lot today!!!!
I had 72 points plus the 10 bonus points last week.  I am glad it is over!  This week I am going to enjoy anything I want (I will get back on track the next week, because I really do need to live healthy).
Excited to see everyone this weekend--it will be a blast!!!!

Like I said this week was a hard one..... but I got more points than I thought I would!!  I got 79 that is with the 10 bonus points~ now to relax and not have to count water and fruits and veggies!

Well, I thought I was going to tie mom, but then I dropped the ball!  Some mistakes were totally conscious, some just dumb, but I got 69 points this week.  My worse week ever, way to endure to the end, eh?  Anyway, congrats mom!  You're awesome!  and I am excited to see everyone this next weekend and gain 5lbs with y'all!

Hope everyone had a good Fourth of July, ours was great!  This has been a hard week to be good about eating right.  Dad and Zenna gave me Oreos for my birthday--I don't know if I can resist having some and save them for next week--okay everyone knows I'm going to pig out on them before the day is over!!

Now, that I have Rachel's points for last week--here is the update:

Ok so I was in Provo on Monday and I couldn't log in so I left a comment on Karina's log and told my points and I guess that didn't work either!!  I think I had 72 points from last week!!  now this week might be a different story!  It is sad when we have dinner at midnight and I still got a point for eating  2 hours before bed!! lol  Points for 7 hours of sleep and getting all of the veggies in the first part of this week has been the hard ones!  Happy to see everyone next week!!  congrats Katie!

Oh my goodness golly! Congrats Katie! I was waiting for that announcement! I guess I won't be pregnant with you this time! Maybe next time and Zenna can join too! Haha see you all soon! Bring your party pants everyone!

It's great to find out on the family blog that we have another grandchild on the way!!!  Congratulations, Katie.
I think we are all having a little harder time for our contest--to be honest I will be glad when I don't have to worry about reporting.  Rachel is down in Provo with Brooke for the Stadium of Fire practices, so I am sure that is why she hasn't reported for last week.  Four of us still have a chance to earn 10 extra points this week--Rachel, Kristi, Amy and Me (have to drink 10 cups of water each day)
Excited to see everyone next week for Wardle Olympics.  Excited that we will be able to eat whatever we want and as much as we want. haha.

Lame-O

Well that was lame.  It's so not Monday anymore is it?!  Well, losing that lame point, I think I got 71 points for the week.  I am so not as motivated as before.  Is it because it's summer or because I'm pregnant?  I do think all the points I've lost are eating late.  One night I was hungry, but said I'll just go to bed and eat in the morning, I woke up at 3:30 and ate rice krispies!!  Sometimes, I don't want to eat period, let alone 3 veggies!  But I am glad I'm doing this, or I would just say, i'm pregnant so I can down a bag of oreos or have ice cream, or eat what ever I want.  So even though I'm not enjoying it this time, I thank you on behalf of me and my baby that we are getting good food and exercise!  btw, I'm only 8 weeks, so let's keep this info within family only.  I figured all would find out next weekend anyway, but it is early for me to announce.  Ty has a sister in town who asked me point blank yesterday if I was pregnant, and if she knows it won't be long before more peterson's know!  ps the title is lame-o because of not reporting yesterday!  The title for being prego is Awesome-O!  So there are your two good news for the day.  (I know you are all secretly happy to see me lose points!!)  But the other news is even better news!  Have a Great day!!

I am doing worse each week!  I got 67 pts last week.  Monday was our mini vacation in Lava, Tues was a ward party with yummy treats, Fri. my visitin teachers brought me strawberries dipped in white chocolate and blue springles (at least I got a point for the fruit), Sat we went to Rockland and his mom had ordered every kind of schwanns ice cream they have.  So needless to say I couldn't resist all the yummy treats around me, but they were delicious!!!

Well this week I got 62 points...a little better :) I am excited to see everyone soon!

One more week and we can all have a break! My points for this week are 72 plus 10 bonus points.  Bret and Cami were here over the weekend and she made a yummy treat--I was so glad I still had my free day!!

Sliding down hill, but having a blast!

52 points for me this week.  I had a lot of fun family things this week that made it impossible to resist eating treats, not exercising, and sleeping....but no regrets, I still did my best, and had such a fun time with my sisters and mom.  We headed to Richfield, where Hannah lives and stayed in a 100 year old house that my grandma's grandfather lived in.  Her cousin lives there now and was born in the house.  It was so fun.  We ate, laughed, cried, and left all children, husbands, and worries at home!!!!!  It is something I would love to do with the wardle side....soooooo much fun and worth all the work.  I stayed up late every day last week, and made 7 aprons for my sisters and sister in laws.  It was so fun and I am a pro apron maker now, but I still have two more to do, so I am not out of the woods.  We are working hard this week on getting back on track, no more swimming lessons and jake is in town...so we are happy.  I got up at 5:30 this morning and went to the gym, so I am pretty proud of myself.  One thing Iam working on this week is a scripture study schedule, I planned out what I am going to read each day and when I will do it.  I hope this helps me feel more spiritual, since I am in nursery I need a little boost.  Let me know what you do for study time and what works.  I always seem to need to work on this one in my life. 

Thanks for all the encouragment you give me!  I love you guys!

Jake is pretty much not doing this for real nay more, but he is still eating good with me and exercising, his work has been way intesnse. 

I am going to make some monkey bread for you at wardle olympics...that is my new idea....it is covered in bad stuff...so it is not healthy, but a really fun treat......and by then we will be having our break!
