Day 5: Mommy's View

I am so glad to hear from people that are reading the blog:) Lots of people have sent their encouraging words our way and we are so thankful! The support of our friends and family is one thing that is going to help keep us going even during tough days. Thanks again!
After such a rough day yesterday (eating wise), i was determined to make today a GREAT day. And guess what? It WAS a great day:) For breakfast we had turkey sausage, eggs, and toast. I busied myself most of the day between the kiddos and cleaning the house. I sometimes wonder if there is a mom in this universe who has a tidy house. Is this really possible? If it is i have not found the secret to keeping up with it all! I seriously think i could vaccum three times a day between Kara and the dogs! 
I did really well with snacking today. I shared a peach and a pear with Kara before lunch and i also munched on baby carrots throughout the day when i would get the munchies for something. For lunch i cut a leftover grilled chicken breast in half and made grilled chicken sandwiches out of it. For dinner we made Grilled Chicken Nachos from the biggest loser website (link is in Kaleb's post). I made some fresh pico to go on top of them.. They were really good! We will certainly make them again. However, next time i will add some fat free sour cream and i will go lighter on the salt because the cheese sauce is real salty tasting. 
I love Saturdays because there is always some family cuddle time, usually in mommy and daddy's "big ol' bed", but today it was on the couch when Kara woke up from her nap. Kaleb has baby brother asleep on his chest as we all cuddled up and watched the Olympics. I am so thankful for my husband and my two babies. It is days like these where you can take a deep breath and just see how much you have to thank God for. Thank you God! 
Our workout tonight was legs back. My legs may not function in the morning! Which is unfortunate because tomorrow we are heading to Huntsville to help my sister move apartments. But, sore means that it is working, right? P.S. "wall sits" suck! :)
 Haha thought I would share this pic of my little "helper" who fell into the laundry basket as i was folding clothes:)
 
And here is one of Jax giving us a "thumbs up" on our efforts:)
See y'all tomorrow!
