Maybe it is progress, but I have been working out hard core for the last three days. I feel better and I am eating less. I have had a lot of control and dedication this time. I usually get burned out with all of the workout stuff out there. This time I am going to stick with it for four weeks. By the time I got to my reunion in July I hope to be looking a lot better and lost some of that baby weight. Yesterday Ben, Braeden and I went to Sloan's Lake. It is a huge lake that is surrounded by a park. Ben biked around it and I pushed Braeden around in his stroller. It took about an hour and it was beautiful. I was so tired after though!
I have been eating healthier too! I have been eating less first of all, and then we have been eating more fruits and veggies. We have been making things with more fish and whole wheat things. I like trying to come up with new things that are healthy. I am also going to brave making wheat bread. I hope it works out.

Our Story
This is the blog of Benjamin, Stephanie, Braeden and Emerson Busey. Ben and I got married November 30, 2007 in the Manti Temple. It was a beautifully cold day, but so memorable. Two months later we found out we were having a baby. Braeden Todd was born November 8, 2008. He is the joy of our lives, he is wild, and growing too fast. I am a stay at home mom with a craft business and I am starting a photography business and loving every minute of it. Things are definitely busy. Ben is serving our country in the U.S. Air Force as a nurse. We are living in San Antonio, Texas right now. It is a different world down here. Gotta be careful in everything you do. We are leaning to stick together more, and literally have Heavenly Father guide us to where we need to be each day. We are loving being together and seeing what life brings us. We found out we were pregnant August 2010 but lost out lost our second baby due to miscarriage September 27, 2010 while I was 9 weeks pregnant. We love our sweet angel and think of this child often. This traumatic event has made us ever more grateful for families, that they are FOREVER, and that we now have two miracles. Little Emerson was born September 8, 2011. With major complications after delivery we are grateful to be where we are today with our sweet boys. Emerson is such a wonderful addition to our family and we love him so much. He is a chunky sweetheart. October 2012, I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation type 1. This has caused our family to do things a little bit differently. This diagnosis has brought many trials, but also many many blessings, and helped me to rely on my Heavenly Father each day so He can help carry my burdens!

Congratulations Stephanie! It's gotta feel good! It's hard, believe me, I know. You're doing great though, keep it up!
Cute new background too! Love it!
One more thing...I always use the Jennie-O ground turkey and they are buy one get one free this week at King Soopers! I usually stock up at these times and cook them and freeze it. A big time saver nd healthy too!
Good for you! I have good days and bad days, but I've noticed that when I do good (eating and exercising) I feel MUCH better. It's a noticable difference. You look great, though, by the way! I kind of feel bad we're not going to make it to the reunion. With Brian in Vernal, and all the reunions and summer events we have, we're not able to make it to all of them. By the way, I have a great wheat bread recipe, if you need one!
Good for you for trying to be super healthy! I go back and forth with this...eat well, work out, then turn lazy and eat too many treats. You may be my motivation!
Miss you :)
Love it! Hey if you want any ideas on how to cook with whole grains give me a call. Thats all we eat!
Your so awesome! So you know, you are motivating me. I have alot further to go than you though! Send me some of your yummy recipes! I'm not a fan of fish, so I use alot of chicken.
