I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight...

So have you guys ever seen "The Devil Wears Prada"? In the movie there is an assistant that is absolutely obsessed with her weight. She actually says "I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight!" It ended up being my favorite line from the movie.
(Hold on for a minute while I tell you about this weekend. I promise that the above lead-in will be explained:)
So this weekend my family on my Dad's side all got together at a cabin in Park City to hang out. It is kind of beginning to be a yearly tradition and it is so fun! However, it seems that every time we go out, it is crappy weather so all we can do is shop (so sad!). Anyways...so on Friday we got out there and late at night we decided it would be totally awesome to go roller skating down in Salt Lake! I absolutely LOVE roller skating! I can't even express my love for the roller rink. It is awesome! Anyways-so we did that on Friday night.
Then on Saturday Ryan and I went shopping up in Park City at the Tanger Outlets. I only half-way like shopping there. Nevertheless, I still spent money! Ha ha! Then after taking a little nap I went with Cole, Carson, Jason, Derek, Cache, and Ryan to the rec center and worked out. I hit it pretty hard because I want to get in shape for a summer vacation! Woot! Anyway-so after my workout we all got together and played a little game of touch football until I couldn't even move and then we went back to the cabin. So fun!
Hung out with the fam that night and went to sleep. Not much to tell.
So this is where this blog comes full circle. On Sunday morning I woke up really early with a stomach ache. I kinda just laid in bed trying to will it away. I even tried going back to sleep with the hopes that I would be all better in a matter of minutes. No luck. Fifteen minutes later I was running for the bathroom. I then spent the better part of the morning worshipping the porcelain gods. It was so terrible!! Honest truth-I threw up 11 times!! It was the worst morning ever! Ryan didn't even think it was funny when I teasingly told him it was morning sickness (seriously it was not-I am not pregnant. But Ryan freaks out when I even mention babies so I always get a kick out of it! haha!) Anyways...turns out I was not the only one sick. Check out this list: My Grandma, my Mom, my aunt Tammy, my cousins Shalease and Cole, my sister Cassie, and my nephews Brandon and Michael. Crazy eh? So something was going around and it wasn't good.
Anyways-when we finally got home (after stopping on the side of the road a few times) I just zonked out. I slept for hours. And when I woke up, Ryan had gone and gotten me saltine crackers and gatorade. I love him! Always gets me just what I need!
However, before I ate my small dinner I went and weighed myself and I was down 4 pounds! As far as weight is concerned the stomach flu is great! And that is when I thought about The Devil Wears Prada and it made me happy! So that is my roundabout story!
