weekend in review
January 31, 2010
This weekend was our stake conference, and despite the fact that it was a Luis-less weekend, I was determined to enjoy the conference and get as much out of it as I possibly could. So Saturday morning, I started off my day with going to the temple:
I love the feeling of peace and tranquility at the temple. I always leave the temple feeling rejuvenated and more ready and able to tackle whatever obstacles or challenges I may be enduring at the time.
Saturday night was the adult session of the conference. We had a general authority here and he joked that the adult session of conference is the church’s “best kept secret” because it is always so good yet so few people bother to go. Honestly, that session of the conference was (in my opinion) better than the general session and those that didn’t have the opportunity to go definitely missed out. It seemed like each of the speakers had something to say that applied to me in my current situation in life.
I left the conference feeling like it had been tailored just for me. And then it got me thinking that every Sunday should be like this. All it takes is a little bit of effort on my part to be spiritually ready to hear the message that the speakers have to give.

Natalia: So, where do you want to go eat?
Luis: How about Cliffjumper?
Natalia: You mean Claimjumper.
Luis: Yah, Claimjumper… Claimjumper.
Here’s what we ordered, and shared. Thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Taken for granted
January 28, 2010
I’m sure all of the marrieds out there take for granted the simple pleasures of sharing an everyday home-cooked meal with your spouse… I know I did. But these days, when quality time with the wife in our own home is scarce, there is nothing more relaxing than being able to do just that. Here’s to our most recent weekend together:

I think I’m funny

This is piggy-backing on Apple’s new iPad, and after Brent and I nicknamed the iPhone, the “MacBook Phone.”
LHB: Weeks 3-4
January 26, 2010
First off, let’s take a look at my stats from Weeks 1-2 (yes, I’ve been keeping track):
- Total distance walked/jogged: 19.13 miles
- Total time spent exercising: 6 hours 15 minutes
- Total crunches: 498
Here are my stats in regards to my measurements:
- Weight: -6.1 lbs.
- Waist: -0.75 in.
- Stomach: -1.75 in.
- Chest: -1.75 in.
So, as you can see… all seems to be going QUITE well on the LHB front. Now, onto the goals for Weeks 3-4. Keep in mind, the main purpose of the goals for the next several week is to slowly and gradually introduce a more healthy lifestyle:
- Exercise:
- Last goal: 30 minutes of exercise every day*, regardless of distance
- Updated goal: 40 minutes of exercise every day*, regardless of distance
- New goal: 60 crunches daily*
- Eating curfew:
- Last goal: 10:00pm (2 freebies/week)
- New goal: 9:30pm (1 freebie/week)
- Eating limitations:
- No “on-my-own” fast food. (1 freebie/week)
- No soda, still.
(*Daily excludes Sunday)
Wish me luck. :)
