On Friday Steven and I were able to drive down to Benson and spend the weekend there with my parents. I know I always say this but I love going home to Benson. It's always so relaxing there. Saturday morning Steven and I got up and went for a bike ride which was fun :o) It was kind of cold and we picked the worst road to ride on. We were straight in the sun so of course I got sun burned, we were straight in the wind which made riding 10 times harder and it was all up hill! Let's just say I wasn't a very happy camper at first. Once I got past the burn, it was fun.
The rest of the day we just hung out with my mom and dad. We rented I Am Legend--my parents hadn't seen it and I thought it'd be fun to watch...once we put it on I reminded myself how jumpy it was and ended up getting on my laptop and putting "happy" music on, trying to ignore the movie. Steven gets so mad because I watch movies through my fingers when I get scared but what can I say, I'm a girl.
Anyway, Sunday morning we work up to the smell of banana-nut pancakes (my mom makes THE best pancakes) and buttermilk syrup. Since it was our "free-day" we ate :o) We went to church and then came home and my mom fried steak and we had mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans. It was the most delicious dinner but I felt so gross afterwards. Steven and I were both saying it was good but we've been so used to our program and eating healthy that this just didn't settle right with us. Anyway, we're glad to be home and ready for a new week! Not really but I've only got 3 1/2 weeks of school left! I can do it!

Steven should be happy you at least watch the movies, even if you are peeking through your fingers sometimes. Chris has been a good sport and watched I am legend by himself. I do not do well with scary movies. I freak myself out! Sounds like you had a great time. A way to go sticking with the healthy eating! It felt good to me when I coudn't eat as much as I used to because I had been eating right. (that was before I got pregnant with Nathan) :)
Meghan I am so glad to hear that you and Steven are still sticking to your eating healthy and I am guessing that means exercising. David and I just completed our fourth week and we love it. And I totally agree with you. After eating so good, whenever we cheat we feel just gross.
Yum!! I want banana nut pancakes with buttermilk syrup!!
Sounds great!
Scott's family makes really good home made syrup too, gotta love the totally unhealthy foods, huh?!!
I'm glad you're doing well on your diet/exercise program though. That's great!!
I am the same way. I get super jumpy in scary/thriller type movies. I hate the music they play too. Brad & I watched Enough with Jennifer Lopez a few years back... I watched the end muted. haha. That's the only way I can handle it. The music is the worst! we are too alike!
