Andy and I had a great New Year's Eve. My friend Angel and her husband and 4 month old baby came to visit for a couple of hours. They now live in SLC and I hadn't seen them in a year and a half so it was great to visit with them and to meet their little girl. She is precious. Angel was worried that after the long drive (we were the first place they stopped after getting into town, aren't we special??!!) because she was a little fussy and hungry. But, babies just LOVE Auntie Nikki and she took to me really well. I fed her her bottle and burped her and held her for most of the time they were visiting. When it was time for them to leave, Angel came over to me and started putting on her coat and then her little girl started crying. And, she wasn't too happy when I tried to hand her over to Angel so they could go. It must be all the practice I have from Nursery. Little ones just love me now. Hopefully, it will carry over to when Andy and I have our own children.
Now on to my New Year's Resolution #1 -
It's GO TIME - I officially start my TSFL program in 8 minutes. TSFL stands for Take Shape For Life. I found out about it from a few of the sisters in our ward. I'm really excited. I would have started it as soon as my TSFL food arrived, except I felt it would be too difficult to survive Christmas and New Year's Eve without any slip-ups, so I decided to start on Monday January 3. So, technically, it's really not a New Year's Resolution I guess. Maybe, knowing in the back of my mind that it's NOT "technically" a "New Year's Resolution" will make it harder to break. At least, I hope. I got my food about 2 weeks ago and it's a good selection. I have hot chocolate, brownies, ice cream, a few kinds of soup, pretzel sticks, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, chocolate chip pancakes, various shakes, meal bars, and some various other yummy stuff. I have spent the last 2 weeks eating whatever I want as a way to say good-bye to my favorite foods for a while. I didn't gain any weight either in fact I lost about 7 lbs. Luckily, I hadn't been eating too terribly before those 2 weeks and I think my stomach shrank because half the time I wasn't even able to finish what I had started eating. In fact, the other night I really wanted Blueberry pie, so I fixed a plate with pie and ice cream and was only able to take two bites before my stomach let me know it didn't want any more. I went to Coldstone the other night and got a quart of make your own ice cream and I only a small bowl full. Well, it's after midnight now, so I'm going to go and get so sleep. Tomorrow is a big day for me.
