I felt good about today! Got a little down on myself because I went a bit overboard with the GF oats yesterday, and have gained a few pounds of water weight because of it, but! I did excellent today. Of course I turned in my college discussions way early this week… *squee*, so all I did today for college was try to figure out which literary works I’m gonna compare/contrast for my rough draft paper that I’ll start on in the morning.

Highlights from today :
– took mini naps!
– stayed on TRACK with my food/calories
– did almost 40 minutes speed walking / little jogging on the treadmill
– always value my hot bath + OTH rerun time!!!!
– took Katie outside for about an hour this evening. We went walking around the block, and then I let her play outside for a bit before coming back in. I wore a short sleeve and capri’s, but it still wasn’t as warm as I had hoped and the wind needs to GTFO. THEN she got to go back outside when Brad came home, since she walked to the mailbox with him.
– had an awesome dinner of ground turkey and green beans… made me feel all warm =)
– watched the latest BIGGEST LOSER! Dolvett in tights, lol dang. Hated that Cassandra got voted off.
– Katie was already asking to go to bed around 7:30pm, but when bed time finally came around she would not pick up her toys. She threw a fit & I told her if she did not pick up her toys, then she was not getting them tomorrow and Daddy was putting her straight to bed (versus a usual book reading, etc).. we tried to give her a few chances to reconsider picking up her toys…. NOPE! OK, straight to bed it was! She is still protesting in her bed.
– about to watch the latest WALKING DEAD episode, wooohooo!

I’m super duper happy about TOMORROW! I had already text my church friend today and WAS going to go to a church meeting with her, but then plans changed. You see, Brad and I haven’t been to our church’s Temple since late 2010. That’s a really, really long time to not go to the Temple. I have felt amazing things being in the Temple and I KNOW I can grow spiritually from being in there, because it has happened in the past. We moved here to GA and we’re even closer to a Temple now!!! but we didn’t go like we should have, then our Temple Recommends expired last August. We got them updated, but we needed to go to the Stake to have it finialized.. and never got that far. Various things have gotten in our way, and Brad was letting fear take over about us going for this reason or that. Well, finally we are HOPEFULLY going tomorrow evening!!! I hate that I’m gonna miss the women’s meeting tomorrow, but am really looking forward to getting our Temple Recommends fully updated and READY for us to go back to the TEMPLE! We gotta drive real close to downtown Atlanta, so Brad is gonna be a nervous wreck, but I look forward to it because I KNOW WE NEED THIS MORE THAN EVERRRRRRR so we can go to the Temple and do the things that Heavenly Father wants us to do. Gonna see if Mom can watch Katie while we do that, so we don’t have to worry about her and focus on getting there & getting that done. IT IS BEYOND TIME FOR US TO DO THIS! I’m so ready to step it up in life. Looks like I’m gonna start practice driving too! ;D READY READY READY for so many things.

LET’S DOOOOOOO THIS! :]
