Day 7 Grandma Elaine Muir

Day 7 Grandma Elaine Muir

Day 7 is for my Grandma Muir, she passed away when I was 14 years old. She was the one who introduced me to sewing, something that I grew to love and cherish. She taught me to take care of myself and to take care of my home.

She called herself the mean grandma, which is my fault. When I was little, maybe 3, I was eating a cookie at her counter. I wanted to get down and play with my cookie, every time I did she would tell me to eat my cookie there. The last time she paddled my butt and I said "My nice grandma lives a long ways from here!" So from then on she was the mean grandma. But she was never that mean to me. I loved her dearly.


She was a brave woman who battled breast cancer and later past away of pneumonia after her body couldn't fight it any more. She was a huge part of my life, taught me many life lessons.

She would give me shopping points every time she came over and my room was clean and my bed was made. I think that is why I always have to have a nice presentation in my home. Because now she is always watching.

We went on a shopping trip every year for school, easter outfits, and my birthday. This was my favorite thing to do growing up. I was the only girl so I got one on one time with her and enjoyed every minute of it. Everytime I am shopping I think of her telling me "One day your going to be shopping without me and miss that I was here to hang up your clothes after you tried them on." I think of that every time I am trying on clothes. Except now there is not alot of clothes that fit me so hanging them up is not much of a chore.

Not anymore, next time I got shopping I will miss my grandma because there will be nothing I can't try on.

Tomorrow is for you grandma. My Fitness goals will be lower because it is the Sabath day and I take that as a day of rest so I will do just 1 hour of cardio, burn 2800 calories and walk the 9000 steps. Also I will eat healthy and eat my 1800 calories.

Thanks grandma for all my wonderful memories of you.

Day 6 Tyson

Day 6 Tyson

Tomorrow is for my older brother Tyson, words cannot express the love I have for my brothers. It is that love-tease relationship that I can't wrap my head around. I was always on the teasing end of the love-tease relationship but I have always known that they love me.


He has always been that protective older brother. When I would ask him to set me up with his friends he would say that they were not good enough for me(even if he was just sparing my feelings I always found that sweet). As we grew older we became closer and would stay up nights talking. But my favorite memory of Tyson was on Valentines Day during 8th grade.

We were on our way to school on Valentines morning and Tyson had told me "remember star". Leaving me so confused thinking wow what a wierdo I went to school. Now, in Junior High you could buy roses for someone and they would deliver it with a note on Valentines Day. I got four that day, one from my brother Tyson and three from my secret admirer. I felt so cool that day no one got that many, just me. After a couple hours of racking my brain I turned my cards over to see a star on the back of all four of them. Not only did he want me to feel special and needed that day but he wanted to make sure I wasn't confused about my so called secret admirer.

Tyson has always helped me with my fitness goals. He wants me to succeed, he was my personal trainer before I got pregnant and took me to the gym every day to help me with my goals then and thinking about him tomorrow will really help with my goal for tomorrow.

So tomorrow is the same burn 3800 calories, eat 1800 healthy calories, 9000 steps, 2 hours of cardio.

Love you Tyson I am and always will be so grateful that you are my big brother. Hopefully I can make that statement true and be your "little"r sister.

Day 5 Dad

Tomorrow is for my Dad. He is a huge inspiration to me, he always treats people in the best way possible. I do not think that he has ever had a bad thought about anyone. He has really taught me how to calmly deal with situations and I have always appreciated that.



He has lost 100 pounds this year and really inspired me to lose weight. He walks over 20 miles per week. I got to go on one of his 10 mile walks with him and I could barely keep up and was so sore that day and he didn't even feel it. He is amazing! I get excited to see him every week to see how far he has come. I wish that I was more like him in many ways and I hope as I embark on this journey I can use him as an example every day.

Tomorrow I will be working out for you dad. 2 hours of cardio, 9000 steps, and I will burn 3800 calories. I will also eat healthy all day and eat just my alotted 1800 calories. Love you Daddy!

Logan

Tomorrow I would like to reach my goals for Logan. He was the first person that I met in this world. I think that we also had a strong connection in heaven, or Heavenly Father would not have sent us together. He has taught me patience, love, and humility.



My mother always told me that because Logan and I were twins, I am a big reason why Logan is here and why he survived. I don't know how accurate that is and why that is but that means I am truly ment for something important. Right? For those of you that don't know Logan has downsyndrome and autism. He is and always will be my first love!

Growing up with Logan was not always easy, he did not keep up with us while we played and that was frustrating. But that is how he taught me to have patience. Yet, teaching that to other kids on the playground at school was not as simple.

Logan always has a smile on his face and is excited about everything. He has such a big heart and loves Taylor and Taytum. He is such a blessing in my life that I love being around him and making him smile. I am grateful that he can teach my children to love and respect everyone the way he has taught me.

Tomorrow I will be thinking of him while I reach my goals today. 2800 calories, 2 hours of cardio, and 9000 steps all for Logan.

Love you Logs

XOXO
