Tonight we ran to Walmart to pick up a few things and on the way home, we were talking about the diet we've been on for a while now. Jim had been talking to his nephew Kamron about the diet and Kamron said he was getting ready to start the same diet. I heard Jim tell him he had lost 30 pounds. Well, this morning, I saw him write down his weight so I was pretty sure he had not lost 30 pounds, so I asked him about it. Here's the conversation:
Me: You have not lost 30 pounds.
Jim: Yes, I have.
Me: How do you figure that? I saw what you wrote down this morning and it looked like you have lost 20 pounds to me.
Jim: Well, I lost 20, gained 5, then lost 5, gained 5 and lost 5 again, so that is a total of 30 pounds lost.
Me: (LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY) You can't be serious....
Jim: Don't you know how to do DIET MATH?
Me: STILL LAUGHING.... No, I don't know anything about DIET MATH.
Jim: Well, you do now!!!!
(Just think....he's teaching math to students at school. Hopefully, he isn't trying to teach DIET math to them....they might get confused!) haha
Anyway, that was my laugh for the day. As a matter of fact, I'm still laughing. So funny. Jim cracks me up. We're still working on our diet and plan to stick with it for a while. We both have more to lose.

I love it! I know how he feels and it's so frustrating to keep losing the same five pounds and they find you again. I'm so proud of you two it's hard to do. I have been thinking a lot about the first talk, if memory serves me correctly, of conference. The one about overcoming addictions. Wasn't conference awesome and I felt like they were talking straight to Crystal and Spencer. So many talks on losing loved ones. I was so happy for her because she was really hoping conference would have at least one talk for her and there ended up being so many!
Thanks for coming to the services and for the "sand" photo.
We totally missed conference because of being in Texas and at the hospital with my dad. They don't have in on TV there but we did have the internet and could have watched it but with so much going on we never had time to even try to tune it in. We'll have to read it in the Ensign. It's always so good and I'm glad there were talks that were so helpful to Crystal and Spencer.
LOL Diet Math! Tell Uncle Jim I I have lost over 150 pounds! The same 30 pounds over and over again! They keep coming back! Keep up the good work!
Ok that's funny. I like that kind of diet math. You could really feel successful even if the tight pants tell you otherwise.
Hahahahaha, I love it! Uncle Jim is right that is how you do Diet Math!
Funny stuff . . . I think I will do my math tomorrow, I may outdo Crystal
