Calories

So, what is calories anyway. Well, they are things that make us FAT!!!! So, I went to the Dr. she said I have to lose 20 lbs by January 13th, 2009. I am cutting calories. I have found this site , it's http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/sparkpoints.asp. I love it. You sign up and it counts your calories. It even has my vegetarian dinners on it. WOW.. Anyway, I have been able to keep in below 1800 calories for 3 out of the 5 days. For Chelsea's birthday dinner day. Here is the last 5 days, I was at 1,129/1,127/1,844/1,143/1,539. So, you have it. I can do it. You really have to watch it though. WOW.... the foods you think are good for you, ARE NOT!! Well, I have a Veggie chik'n cutlet in the oven. If you have any ideas to help cut calories , let me know.
Thanks

4th of July 2008

Oh my, it's 11:07 pm and we had a great day. We went to the parade in a near by town this morning . They had turtle races, bicycles races, wild west shot out and everything else you could want. It was a great family day. This vacation has to be the best in a long time. 1 hr. trip, lots of family time. It was wonderful. Tonight, the kids had a blast. I am posting pictures from the day. Hope you all enjoy.
I want to add at the parade, when the tractors came. D said "tractors, that's what I am talking about". We have no idea how he came up with that one.
D told 1st place with another little boy in a balloon toss. Br- took 3rd in the balloon toss and 3rd in the bike race. She did a great job at the race. She was even in flip flops.
I will up load the pictures for the next post. Keep checking. If you know Br- check hers too.
Happy Fourth of July !!!!!!

Fireworks

Last night we went to the local Mall. They had a wonderful fireworks display. There was a live band, snow cones. It was a great family outing.
We have had a poor man vacation this week. However, we have spent time as a family. Altogether, doing so much. We have taken the kids to the Kiddie Park, Fireworks, tonight is a potluck at the local church, then tomorrow we are going on an animal drive in the next town. It takes two hours to go through. Then on Friday, we are going to Caney Kansas to a 4th of July parade and fun day. They are having bike races, games etc... Then on Friday night we are going to some friends house for a fish fry and Fireworks.
It's been a wonderful vacation so far , so good. I will post pictures later.
