My husband was the "biggest loser"

Scott & I joined a weight loss challenge contest put on by local Herbalife coaches.  The contest was over 11 weeks.  The fee was $35 a person and the 1st place winner gets 50% of the money, 2nd place gets 30%, and 3rd place gets the remaining 20%.  We started the challenge the first week of January.  Scott lost 7.5% of his body weight and he came is 1st place.  He lost 22 lbs and won $170.00.  I really had Scott join really to support me and my efforts and he ends up winning.  I did not win anything but I am happy with the 5% weight loss.  We were so happy with the progress and competetion that we are starting another weight loss challenge in April. 2011 is the year for getting healthy.

...I like long walks on the beach

I know the title sounds so cliche, but I really do LOVE long walks on the beach.  One of the best things about living in a mile from the beach is that I love to take the baby on walks.  We have a beach parking pass so most days I go and park and walk. The weather is just gorgeous ranging temperatures from the high 60's low 70's and I love it.  Brock will usually fall alseep by mile 2, I try to aim for 4.  Some days I have been feeling more adventurous and I have Scott drive up PCH and drop us off about 4 miles away from home.  I have even met up with friends to walk to the Pier and eat lunch at Duke's or Sandy's.  I love the amazing view the ocean delivers and clears my mind in the process.  I got a bike for Mother's Day that I am anxious to cruise on but I have been waiting for a seat or trailer for Brock to ride too.

New church callings

I was asked to be the secretary to my Relief Society sisters in my Ward.  We have not only have one Relief Society, yes we have two.   I also have a assistant secretary.  I think that is so funny but we do have a large Ward. Later on that week I was also called to serve on the Stake Women's Conference committee from my Ward.  Our theme this year is "Experiment Upon the Word".  At our 1st meeting where they were assigning us different tasks I silently prayed please do not put me in charge of the food.  I do not want to be the one responsible for food for 300 plus women.  I lucked out and got assigned to decorate classrooms for the teachers, name tags, water bottles, and pens.  Michelle (my partner and I lucked out).  Most of the work for me was the day before cleaning, decorating, helping prepare food.  I spent a good 8 hours at the church.  I don't recall the last time I worked non-stop.  The conference turned out to be a huge success and I was so glad that it came and turned out so well.
