My new wonder drug

Remember when I decided that taking 5000 mg of fish oil pills would melt away my belly fat?

And all it accomplished was bloating and lovely belches?

Well I have a new one.

Beef Liver Pills. Only 6 1500 mg pills twice per day will increase strength and endurance. Yes, I did the math. I know that is like 18,000 mg a day. I told the guy at Jack's the first time I burp liver I'm bringing them back for a refund. He assured me that will not happen, and so far, he was right. No livery taste....good thing...I hate liver.

I have not seen an increase in endurance yet, but maybe it takes a week or so to start working.... It has been a tiring week.....I know...it's only Tuesday...I started a new class and the girls have VBS, so I may just have not noticed whether I have energy or not.

Followup to Midnight and Whiskers

I never posted pictures of the bunnies, Midnight and Whiskers, because I killed them.

I know. I am the worst mom ever.

They were living in their cage in the house driving me nuts, so I decided, since rabbits naturally live outside, these can too.
Well, not the case. Our little dwarf bunnies died of a heat stroke.


Last night after VBS, the girls' friend brought them 2 more bunnies. Guess what their names are?

MidnightII and Dot.

I'll try to post pictures before they die. Wish us luck.

Oh, and yes, they are living in the house. For now.

Firecracker 5K

Well, we did it. We have signed up for the Firecracker 5K run in Shreveport on the 4th. I could think of so many other ways to spend the 4th of July than running over 3 miles in the smoldering July heat in Shreveport....

Such as...
eating watermelon
eating fried chicken
eating homemade ice cream (yum)
eating B-B-Q
eating potato salad
eating baked beans
eating fried fish

I've never done anything like this before and I'm certain it won't be like the miles I run on the elliptical at the gym everyday. Several of our church friends will also be running, so we'll have an audience. Lovely. I would rather no one know me in case I can't make it more than 100 yards...

Wish us luck-we'll need it!

Midnight and Whiskers

Kam is staying a week with her dad, so doesn't know she has a new bunny waiting for her. She knew should would be getting one and pre-named it Midnight and specified it had to be black.

Midnight is so cute!! He is a dwarf bunny with floppy ears and big feet. Ken will have a hard time turning him over to her sister...

Whiskers is Ken's kitty. It lives in the barn and I have not seen it. She wasn't as excited about that as she is Kam's bunny.

Pics to come...

Mexican Food and Water Slides

Friday when I got off work, I rushed home to my family waiting for me in the garage...packed and ready to go. B decided, totally spur of the moment, that we were going to spent the night in Canton and go to Splash Kingdom Saturday. So off we went...

We stopped and ate Mexican food on the way....it was so good......
dieting has limited our Mexican intake and is horrible!!

Anyway, we went to our room, then went out for ice cream at Dairy Palace, my favorite place...

We were first in line at Splash Kingdom Saturday. Even at 11:00 the sun was HOT! Ken promised she would be brave this time and Kam always is. Ken went down 3 big slides for the first time ever! Busloads of kids showed up from a church camp and danced and gave testimonies while we tubed around in the wave pool. We had a great time, except for the backs of my knees are sunburned. Do you ever pay attention to how many times you bend your knees everyday? Let me tell you....it's a lot!

Until next time,
Amanda

B and I have stepped up our level of fitness pretty drastically.....sometimes we work out twice per day.

Well, you know the SlimQuick commercial, right?



It is so true. B has lost 18 lbs.....I've gained 2. Eating chicken, turkey, and yogurt is killing me....AND I'm gaining weight.

AHHHHH.

If you ever read my Useless knowledge, you'll see that banging you head against a wall call burn up to 150 calories.....
Sounds like an option.
