Does food posioning count as a weight loss plan?

Monday while I was at work, about 5 pm to be exact, I wasn't feeling to go. So about 6:30pm I just couldn't do it anymore and decided to go home. After barely being able to get home safetly, I went straight up to bed and the symptoms only got worse. Brad came home at about 8 and took care of me. At about 1030ish, I was finally throwing up, and throwing up. After Brad got me and the entire bathroom cleaned up, he started getting the symptoms. So at about 1230ish Brad started his throwing up! I tried my best to take care of him, but I wasn't much help, but he was in a little more control. I have never seen myself so pale. Brad's palest was when he came back from the hospital about a year or so ago.
We spent all night up and in the bathroom, so I called in sick for Tuesday, and it was Brad's day off. Then, Wed. I gave it a go at work, and just about had it. After the longest 4 hours of my life I was able to go home, Brad called in sick. Brad's at work today, and it's my day off. Which he's doing ok, we went to Sam's Club for one thing and it nearly took all my energy for the day.

Well, after not eating anything and everything leaving my system. On Tuesday morning, Brad and I weighed ourselves. In that 12 hour period, I had lost 13 pounds, and Brad 9! How crazy is that, no wonder I'm still very weak. Anyways, Brad and I are slowly feeling better, thank goodness, because it's been the most inconvienient sickness ever. I missed a day and a half of work, Brad missed the same. So hopefully, all will be back to normal tomorrow!

why you don't mess around at work..

My sweet inocent town of Rexburg had one of its banks robbed about a week ago. The day it was robbed I was closing (shift 4:30-1AM) and I saw the road closed off, later to find out what had happened. But before my boss had left for the day she was like, "oh ya mel, make sure you don't keep too much money on top, just in case anything happens." Which totally freaked me out, I didn't want to deal with getting robbed. I mean, I know the drill, Don't Do Anything! Just give them what they want. So obviously nothing happened, who would rob a grocery store?! But later that week, the police station sent us pictures from the robbery of the guy and we have it stareing at us on the safe, so everytime I open it (which is like 100 times a night) I see this guy.
My friend Tony that I usually close with was in the booth with me (which is where I get all my work done, and where the safe is) and I'm joking with him that if the robber came to steal our money I would first start by throwing the pennies, nickles, dimes, ect. And then Tony said, "well what if he has a gun, you would need to give him real money." I said, "That's easy, I would just jump in the safe and I wouldn't get hit." So I tried to demonstrate, too bad the shelf in the safe was not attached like I thought it was, So I jump in and almost immediately start to fall and flung the shelf! Totally ate it, luckily the shelf didn't fall and no money fell out, only Tony laughing his head off! Here is the results, this was the first day, but day 2 and 3 it was really black and yellow. Lesson learned, don't jump in safes!

Seeing Results!

After being married for 2 years Brad and I have noticed some changes especially changes in our weight. So together Brad and I came to a number we would each like to lose, 120 pounds! As of this morning we have lost 15 pounds together!
So we're now down to 105 to lose!
Brad works out with a friend almost every morning at 5:45, and I work out about 3 to 4 days a week. We are watching what we eat, not eating so late, and finally starting to enjoy the results. We're really excited about finally having control of our weight and having fun working out together. We definately have a long way to go but we are constantly encouraging each other.
We still enjoy lives little treat but with a better sense of moderation. We hope we can keep up the good work, Go Team Curnow!

Thank you Wrights!!

I have finally braved making steak and potatoes, if you remember, we stopped at Lindsay and Jeremy's house for dinner on New Year's Day and had the best steak we've ever eaten! Jeremy gave us a bag of meat and in that bag were some T-Bone steaks! Jeremy also told us a really good way to cook some potatoes, since I don't really know what to do with potatoes besides bake them! So I got excited and cooked those steaks, made the potaotes, and had the second best steak dinner of my life!! So thank you for the tips, advise, and the wonderful steak!

All in One

This was my first Christmas away from home so it was really weird to have a semi-white christmas and not see any family besides my wonderful Bradley. So we woke up when we woke up and tried to make some breakfast and it didn't turn out so well. We went and opened presents. First we opened our presents from Shannon and Ian. We got the 4th Happy Potter and BananaGrams! It's the funnest game, Brad is way addicted! Brad got me the 1st season of the Big Bang Theory, and I had been waiting for it to come from Netflix all month and other movies kept showing up but Christmas day I realize why, sneaky hubby. I also got a itunes giftcard and a foot massager!

I gave Brad the Ice Age movies, a headset for his XBox360, and his favorite cookies!

And I finally got a Kitchen Aid!!! Hallejah! I can make cookies so much faster! Thanks parents!

Brad and I got the gift of shopping from Linda and Dave, which totally saved our lives! Thank you!

Here is some very very snowy roads! This was when we were getting close to Lindsay's. We got to Shannon and Ian's house late on the 30th and on the 31st we woke up and went to see Boop then we went to Aunt Jan's to visit and they gave me these cute blocks. (That's the christmas side!) Then we went to Panda Express, brad's request!

We barely made it to midnight but we had all the fun fried food, fun games and a "glow show" by Weston and Davin to make the time pass! We took pictures and got the black lung from "sparklers" and were probably asleep by 12:15! ha On New Year's day we went to the book store and per my request we had In' N' Out!!! So wonderful!! After we headed to Lindsay and Jeremy's for dinner! It was so fun to see the kids and play with them! They made us an awesome steak and potatoes dinner and then very very generously gave us a bag of steaks, a roast, and lots of ground beef. So thanks Wrights!

Brad and I want to thank those who have helped and prayed for us this last year. We truely love and appreicate all of you! Hope you have a happy new year, we wish all the best!
