Happy New Year's

So it's officially 2009! Nothing too exciting to report today. Haloti worked this morning - so he was out the door pretty early. I dropped the boys off (Ailini is still at grandma's and will be 'til my dad gets back) at the church for the breakfast my mom's ward is sponsoring. I actually grabbed a bite to eat -food was delicious! I headed out to work for a couple of hours.

After work, I stopped by my mom's to pick up the kids, but no one was there. I headed back to the church and they were still there (around noon). Picked up the boys and we headed home. Haloti was home from work.

As for how we spent the day, basically relaxing, doing laundry, playing video games and watching tv (bowl games) and a movie. Of course, I didn't do all this - it's a run down of what each member was doing. For me, I took a nap while Haloti watched the USC/Penn State game (which USC won). When I woke up, I went to Game Stop to pick up another Guitar Hero World Tour game (long story about the new one they got for Christmas) and then Blockbuster to return some movies and pick up a FREE game rental.

When I got home it was like Haloti and I switched roles, he fell asleep while I watched my DVD rental. I watched Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2. Definitely a chic flick which would explain why Haloti fell asleep. Hahaha!

After watching my DVD, I decided to just watch tv. I came across The Biggest Loser re-runs. I guess perfect to watch at the beginning of the new year.

I'm not sure what season I was watching. I normally don't watch the show because it's the same day as my Zumba class. But the show is truly motivating. Like my pics I posted in an earlier post, picures are my motivation. I always look forward to see who gets voted off so I can see their 'after' pictures. It's amazing to the see the transformation.

This episode featured family members. One of the ladies on there talked about doing it to be a better example for her kids. Her daughter is obese because of her. The thought really stuck with me and I can see the same with my kids. My older 2 eat anything and everything. Then there are my twins who love salads and vegetables. I think my twins picked that up during my 'eat healthy phase' (happened years ago way back on then they were toddlers). Then I went back to my old ways...and now trying to get back on track again. This is a perfect reminder for me to 'live by example'.
