Biggest Loser 2010 Hone Edition
After receiving too much "Holiday Cheer," the Hone family has decided to do a Biggest Loser competition among ourselves! The participants are... Tanner, Mom, Dad, Cody and Brandi. Each person has put in $50 into a pot. The person with the highest percentage of weight loss will get the pot, and they have to buy dinner for everyone else! The only rule is NO HCG DIET. Other than that they can do as they wish to loose the weight. We all weighed in at my mom's office wearing a hospital gown (so we could all be on the same playing field) on January 3, 2010. We will weigh in again February 28, 2010 to determine the winner!
Cody and I are doing really well. We've actually gotten pretty creative on meals. Most of our meals are very colorful and full of flavor! The excercise is the hardest to get in. By the time we get home at night it's too dark to jog or walk and exercise videos are pretty boring. So, we have been spending a lot of time at Brian Head snowboarding! It's a very good workout! I've found that Sunday is the hardest day for me to stick with my "plan"! Usually Sunday was a day of munching and of course "Sunday dinner". I've found a few snacks that I can eat that are pretty guilt free. I'm not releasing my "plan" or my snacks as other family members may read this and copy me!! One big clue is water has been my best bud for the past week and a half. That's the only helpful hint!
I'm not going to post weight lost for Cody or myself until the final weigh in! I'll keep you posted on our progress though!
So far our energy is up. Not as many headaches, and definitely not feeling bloated as much!
Wish us all Good Luck!!!

2009 Christmas/New Years with the Hone Family
This year Christmas was sooo much fun. We all gathered at my parents house Thursday afternoon. Cody, Tanner and my Dad worked on our little project truck. Mom and I finished up a little bit of shopping in town. Ashley and Rusti came out after work. Dinner was awesome. My Mom made Funeral Potatoes, Ham, Green Salad, homeade rolls. It was all so good!
Right before dinner, Santa made an unscheduled stop to the house. He brought Jordyn a little Christmas Eve gift. That got her so excited for Christmas morning. Somehow she actually got to sleep!
Jordyn kept asking for 2 things for Christmas. A bigger fridge for her play area and a doctor bed for her dolls! Well she got both and then some!
Christmas morning was a ton of fun. Everyone got what they wanted. By 7:30 that morning we were all ready to go back to bed!
Brieanna's best friend Carli Jo Baty was able to spend Christmas with us this year. She was a lot of fun!
Later Christmas morning, we went out the desert and did a little target practice! Even Jordyn got in on it!
I do have crazy sisters :-)
Dad and Anna were the winners this time in our "Mini Tournament"
Hey Amber, what are Clay Pigeons made out of?!?! Just kidding!
Cody and I weren't too bad! We do need a little bit more practice though!
I'm not sure what is up with Brieanna, but she's a hoot!
Like I said, my sisters are a bit cooky!
Later that evening, Cody, Jordyn and I took Cody's parents out for a little Christmas dinner in Mesquite. Jordyn opened gifts there as well. It was fun having dinner and spending a little time with them.

Sunday December 27th, Ashley, Tanner, Cody and I went up to Brian Head to do a little Snowboarding. This was Ashley's first time going. She did very well! I think we've turned her into a snowboard junkie!
New Years Day, the entire family went camping out past Bloomington. Everyone of us went!
Dad decided to take us on a Four Wheeler ride out to where you can look over the Gorge!
It was a very chilly fun ride!
The view over looking the edge was really really cool!
Jordyn had absolutely no fear whatsoever about getting close to the edge. She wanted to just be right there with everyone else!
The night was cold, but we had a good time. Brieanna and Amber started a dance party! I think Cody was the star that night. He busted out some great moves!
Sunday was a beautiful day! We just rode around, and goofed off for most of the day. By late afternoon, we were all ready to be home!
Later that evening we wanted to try out the new Ice Skating Ring in St George. There was Tanner, Ashley, Amber, Jordyn, Cody and myself that went. It was very different, but fun! I had forgotten how hard it was to skate on ice!

2009 was a great year, but I'm hoping for a better 2010! Here's to great family, friends and an awesome New Year!!
