Well its working. I’ve been kicking my own butt. I lost the extra I gained and a couple more too. Grand total = 8 pounds until shopping spree. YAY! I find my new scale really encouraging. even knowing I lost .02 is encouraging to me. It really helps that we are starting to get into fresh fruit season. There is not much better than a juicy nectarine or some uber sweet pineapple. Ive been eating salads and fruit like they are going out of style.
AND I quit drinking coffee. a whole week know and I don’t really miss it. I’ve been drinking lots of tea and trying to switch back and forth between rooibos, green and earl grey when I want a nice cuppah. I’ve become the master of iced rooibos tea. Thanks Pluckymama! And no more pop for me either. I think thats making a big difference too. Pop = junk food. Water = healthy food. Simple math right. Its way easier to eat good without adding those into my diet.
I learned to make gyoza dumplings(kinda like wantons without the soup) at the community kitchen. They are awesome. I only ate 3 cause they aren’t diet awesome, but I made a whole bunch for Morgan and he loved them. I just keep adding to my repertoire of Asian cooking. I love the community Kitchen. It rocks my sox.
We thought Emily had chicken pox this week. She got all spotty and grumpy and scratchy and…well mostly grumpy. We took her to the Dr. and she said it was most likely a virus that was giving her a rash. YAY! lucky us. I was figuring it would be our luck to be the 1 in 100000000 parents whose baby after getting the chicken pox shot would get the chicken pox. I guess it wouldn’t be too bad because we all had it growing up. At least she wouldn’t remember it.
This morning Em woke up at 5 and cried for a bit and then again at 7. I finally got her up at 7:30. I was not impressed with my tiny tot for waking up so early. She even went to bed late last night. She normally sleeps until 9:30. Looks like we are in for another schedule change. seriously…every time I think I figure her out it changes again. That’s the way it works I guess. I’m hoping to keep her schedule a bit later still. That will work the best with our schedule. Plus I don’t want to give up my gym time before she gets up. Its way harder to go if she’s up. It will work out ok I’m sure.
