Obituary (online link)
Our beautiful little princess, Willa Michele Tolman, returned to her Father in Heaven on October 23, 2014. She decided she was ready to join the world seven weeks early on October 15, 2014. She fought a condition for over a week that normally would have given her only hours on earth. During her short life, she taught us that small things can be very strong and how it feels to fall in love completely. She let her mommy snuggle her and give her kisses, melted her daddy's heart, and adored her awesome and loving big brother. Willa showed us that no matter the circumstances you can accomplish difficult things.

Willa is survived by her loving parents, Michele and Phillip Tolman; brother, Isaac; grandparents, Rodney and Nancy Lund, and Jaren Tolman. 

She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Sharon; and uncles, Daniel Tolman, Officer Dee Lund, and William (Bill) Tolman. 

Funeral Services will be held Monday, October 27, 2014 at the Marriot-Slaterville 3rd Ward Chapel, 250 North 1500 West at 10:00 a.m. Family and friends may gather at the church from 9:00 – 9:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment will be at Evergreen Memorial Park, 100 Monroe Blvd, Ogden, Utah. 

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the family through a blog created in her honor: willamichele.blogspot.com

Sticky Fingers Dilemma

This is a repost done from the blog on MFP dated January 22, 2015 So it happened today.  I went to lunch with my sister, and thought I was making a healthy choice.  I ordered a salad....check.  Ordered the dressing on the side....check. I was short on calories for the day so I ordered the sticky fingers as my protein...check.  Or not.    Food arrived, and I placed the bowl (yes bowl) of Ranch dressing on the side and tip-dipped my fork in it as I began my first bite. The salad was delicious, and I felt so good about my choice - used very little dressing. Once the meal was over and I got home, I searched MyFitnessPal for the meal to add it to my daily calories.  1110 calories .  Not even kidding.  I even searched the restaurant website to make sure it was right.  I had ordered the lunch salad after all, and that high number just had to include the bowl of ranch. Nope.  The lunch salad without dressing is listed as 1110 calories.   Two-thirds  of my calorie goal on my eating plan - in on

No Excuses...NO LIMIT!

There have been times in my life when God sends me messages in very overt ways. It is usually when I have already felt something (usually a course of action or idea) in my heart and then I sit back, and procrastinate with it. Now, mind you, I am NOT ignoring it completely... just letting it sit idle for awhile, looking the other way, waiting, and making all kinds of excuses as different things get put in line before it. Waiting for what? Who knows. Why do I procrastinate and allow myself to turn away? Distraction? Fear? Doubt? You get the point (and could probably add a few more good ones to the list as well). This pivotal course of action and idea got distracted a few weeks ago by a host of things and just kept getting lower and lower on "the list." Until this weekend. Within just 3 days I was well aware of my lack of focus and the long list of excuses I was beginning to believe. I have been set straight again. The first clear message (in case I missed that b

Exercise At Home

One of the obstacles I faced at home was finding time and "umph" to exercise. I had big plans to jog every morning before breakfast and hike on the mountain in front of home. I found myself measuring distances from my parents to different stores, etc. to see where I could run to. I did jog on a couple of days...and 6 miles...while I was there, but with the snow and coming down with a touch of a flu/cold my big plans didn't end up so great. Eating was a bit of a struggle. I wasn't in my kitchen, and sometimes didn't have a choice as to where or what was available to eat, but I really tried to remain focused and center my energy on making healthy choices for food and exercise. Besides jogging, we also swam, went for short walks, and played outside. I haven't weighed in yet, so I don't know what the final results were, but I did feel pretty good about what I had done.
