17 Day Diet

Even though being home with two kids is a ton of work.. without Eric.. some how I end up with more time. I am taking advantage by figuring out how to shed some pounds! I have a great friend at work that has joined me in trying to stick to this diet for 17 days. I think it is doable..so wish me luck! Day 1 went well. It asks you to eat low carb and to stop eating fruit before 2:00 in the afternoon. The other part is that they want you to exercise for 17 minutes. Today I walked up and down the stairs while Kole bathed. I can see him as I walk up and down and he can talk to me and keep me company while I get my 17 mintues in. Tomrrow I will have to find another creative way to fit the 17 mintues in. But you have to agree ...everyone has 17 minutes.

Day 2 -17 Hours+ 4 Hour Nap + 1100 Miles = Destination



While Eric took his solo 21 hour journey.. Kali, Kole and I decided to pass the time by staying with Mimi and Papa. LeAnn and kiddo's stayed with us as well for moral support. If you need someone to cry with .. Mimi and LeAnn are an excellent pick! Thank you! The kids managed to supply us with many laughs while we waited for Eric to call and check in at each gas station. Greatfully he arrived safely and the drive was much easier than he even expected!












































































Eric reached California safely and had just enough time to rub in the beautiful warm weather and a sneak peak of the many palm tree's he longed to see!


























The journey begins..
