Day Two Hundred Sixty Eight - Fyre's Christmas Dinner

Once again, this morning we killed it bad! Woke up, got ready and headed out again. Lisa was so very sore today lol. She kept falling behind on our walk. Did 3 miles once again and once again I pushed myself and did some power walking. I was sore as heck too. My legs were not too bad, but my abs were really sore, so was my arms and my entire upper torso. Really bad, it was, but I didn't care. I kept at it and I really got Lisa to push herself.

When we got back home, we hit the jump ropes again. Lisa right off, did 50 jumps. I'm so proud of her. She was sore but she really pushed herself. I did the same, but I couldn't hit 50 without stopping like this did. For me, the rope kept getting caught on my foot. Either I wasn't jumping high enough, or I wasn't swinging the rope fast enough. Yesterday I did it pretty good, but today I was off key. After the jump ropes, we hit the weights again. I was too sore to do the bench presses so we both just did the dead lifts and I did a few curls. Afterwards, I did more jump rope. Oh my gosh I can't begin to describe how tired I was when I was done. My body was so worn out! I mean worn out big time!!! My legs were so tired, so were my arms and my abs were so sore it was not funny. I had a heck of a time just trying to walk up the stairs. Crazy crazy!! I love it though. I couldn't believe how bad I was NOT pushing myself, compared to both yesterday and today. I can't wait to start hitting the DDPyoga. I wanna get really hardcore into that. Right now I'm starting my body off. I've a long way to go because this soreness really has to stop. I wanna just feel tired and not sore. Still, I'm going to do all of this. Tomorrow, I think we're just going to walk. By late afternoon, we were both so damn tired and sore, I decided tomorrow I don't think I can do the jump rope and all. I'm just going to do a strong power walk, then the rest of the day, we'll see what happens.

Well today was my late Christmas Dinner! Rather than cook a huge meal, I wanted to shorten the work on Lisa so instead I came up with the idea to have a variety of food for everyone! So we went up town this evening and I got a big family Captain D's dinner, as well as a family dinner at Churches Chicken, then we got two pizza's a Little Ceasars, and we bought some salad at Walmart, as well as some gift treats for everyone. I bought everyone a movie, except my mom. I didn't know what movie she would like so we got her a little neat calendar thing that had bible verses in there. It was really nice! We also bought some diet soda for drinks. Lisa also made coffee. I even got soup for my grandma since right now she can't eat solid foods because she had her teeth pulled a couple weeks ago. So I got something for everyone! That was what I wanted to do, since I didn't get anyone any Christmas presents last year. I felt so bad, but I did give everyone a card and told them to come to my place for dinner on January 21st @ 5:30pm.

The dinner was fantastic!!!! It was so very fun!!! I prayed before we ate and Lisa said it was a really nice prayer. I wanted our Heavenly Father there at the dinner with us, which He was. Everytime He is there, things are so nice and so special. My sister didn't show up. She text me this morning and told me she wasn't coming. That was expected, honestly. My dad, mom, lil bro, Grandpa, Grandma and my other Grandma all showed up. Lisa and I got everything ready, set out the food, set out chairs. Lisa made coffee for them and when they started eating, I gave them all their gift treats. Everyone loved their movies and my mom really liked her calendar. She said she liked it more than she would a movie. I got my grandma and grandpa, wrestling movies. They both loved it. My other grandma, I bought her a western variety of movies with Sam Elliot. She went crazy over it lol. She really likes that guy! My dad was the downer story lol. He already had the movie I bought him awwwww :( I bought him the Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 combo on Blu-Ray. He still liked it, just that he already had both movies separately. My brother, I bought him a 4 combo movie, The Descent 1 & 2 and Cabin Fever 1 & 2. He really liked them. After everyone ate, I had Lees fire up the Wii U and Mario Kart 8. I wanted a picture of my grandparents playing it. oh man I really wanted a picture of them playing! But, sadly my grandpa was really tired after dinner so he went right home along with grandma. My other grandma left the same time they did. The still had a wonderful time though and they thanked me for the dinner and the presents. My mom, dad, and lil bro stayed and we all played Mario Kart 8. Dad was the first to play. He's been wanting to try that game ever since his heart surgery back in April. Now, he finally played and he loved it. He couldn't get enough lol. Afterwards, my mom came and sat down as did my lil bro and we threw a wheel in their hands and they played. My mom almost didn't play, but dad finally persuaded her and she played. They were screaming and laughing. Dad was cracking jokes about my mom's racing and her coming in last hahahaha :D It was so funny and such a great time! I got pictures of them playing. That was something because my mom hates video games, yet there she was playing and having fun. It was a moment I'll forever remember!

After the games, we popped in 'Annabelle'. We all watched it. I didn't think they'd stay for the whole movie because mom said she needed to get to bed because of work tomorrow, but they stayed the whole movie. That was really nice! We sat in my toasty warm living room with the pellet stove fire going and watching a scary movie. There was so much food left that everyone ate a lil more during the movie. We had such a great time! After the movie, they all packed up their stuff, dad got himself a plate for lunch tomorrow and they left. It was sad to see them go, but I am thankful to God that all my family was there, well except my sister, but still they were there and we all had a wonderful time. I think we'll do this again next year, same time ;}

After everyone left, Lisa and I cleaned up. I went outside and fed the animals and got things back in order outside, closed my gates and now I'm ready to relax and soon head to sleep. I'm still pretty sore from this morning. Lisa is really sore too and we're both tired. She said that after this morning, she doesn't know how she had the energy to do all of this stuff this evening lol. I told her I was very proud of her! We had a great day. Now, time to relax this tired body lol. So until tomorrow, Goodnight!
