Over The Years
20 YEARS AGO (1990):
1. I was four years old, and looking forward to the arrival of my little brother Greg at any minute (arrived December 11th).
2. I lived in Garland, Utah
3. I had big poofy bangs, and I loved to wear dresses. Especially ones that I could spin in!
4. I loved playing with our neighbors Grandma Verla and Carol.
5. I loved to go to school with dad play with the injured athletes (I look back and laugh at my subtle career moves).
10 YEARS AGO (2000):
1. I just moved to Minot, ND.
2. I was a freshman in High School.
3. I joined the swim team and track team.
4. I struggled to find myself, but found a love for the outdoors.
5. I spent my entire summer in the river behind our house and playing night games.
5 YEARS AGO (2005):
1. I was in my second and third semesters of college at BYU.
2. I became the pool manager
3. I made amends with an old friend.
4. I truly fell in love with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and found myself.

gratitude
I was walking down the hall the other day at school and I had the overwhelming feeling of gratitude. I appreciate all of the people that make my job and life easier. For example our pool guy always comes in early to get the cold pool up and running before any of the teams need it. Our training room secretaries are always so patient and helpful with this dumb grad student who thinks she knows more than she does. I love them!
I have the worlds best boss. She always makes time to help me out of a bind or listen when I need to complain or need an opinion! I also have a great family and a great "second family", who love me and have been so accommodating to my diet. My roommate has always been my right hand accomplice and I love having her there to help me get a better perspective and teach me new things everyday! I also appreciate my little nephews. They are so loving and cute. My life is filled with joy knowing they are my boys. I never understood unconditional love until they came along!
I have so many people that surround me that seem to have been put there for the sole purpose of making my life wonderful! I believe that seeing peoples testimonies through their actions is one of the best blessings in this world and I hope that I can convey mine through my actions! Thank you everyone that has influenced me for good! I am in debt forever to you!

Day One... of maintenance!
Well it is time for another update! I am finished officially done with the 500 kcal days. I finished the spray Monday night and then followed up with three more days of the 500 kcal regimen. Today is my first day of jumping up to 1000 kcal diet. I am super stoked for a few things... First of all I can have a lot more options for fruits and veggies. The plum tree in our back yard is calling out to me! Also, I get to work-out! yippee! I have been craving working out, that sounds silly, but it is true!
There is one other important piece of info that I am dying to write. I just hit my 50 lb mark. I am 165.8 as of this morning! ( that is since I started my healthy venture, not just from the hcg) 20 more lbs to go and I get to my goal weight. I will try to post some before and after pictures soon.
Otherwise I feel like gold! I am so proud of my accomplishments and am reaping the benefits daily of being less and less over weight. My rhr is about 64 bpm. That is well over 20 bpm less than when I was 215lbs. I am rarely sweating or over heated by just walking somewhere. I don't get out of breath by sprinting. I am the luckiest girl in the world to get all of these benefits in such a short time!
If anyone is debating on getting healthy, just go for it. You have nothing to lose and there is no time like the present. Do it in a healthy way and you can get all of these same benefits!
