Day 6 Mommy's View

Hey Yall! Did you miss me? We have certainly missed home! We have been gone the past couple days moving my not-so-baby sister out of her apartment in hot, humid, Huntsville Texas. She will be moving into a furnished one in mid-August so she needed her big sisters help (well really her big strong brother in laws help haha). Anyway, I am very proud to say that we did really well with our eating while we were gone. We even stopped at Buccee's and didn't get any homemade fudge, cinnamon rolls, candied nuts, or cookies. We opted for some dehydrated apple rings for snacking and a Buccee the Beaver doll for Kara. We miss the kids so much when we are gone! We also didn't do our workout because, lets face it, moving in a thousand degrees is enough of a workout to kill you all by itself! But anyway, she moved, we got home yesterday evening, and today it was back to business!

For breakfast this morning, since Kaleb was off today, I made a piece of toast topped with mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, crumbled turkey sausage, an over easy egg (no butter or oil), and fresh pico. It was mighty tasty:) After that we had to run by my school to pick up my new IPAD (yay!) and take some measurements for some honey-do projects I have for Kaleb in my classroom. Yes, it is that time of year. I have to have my classroom ready in three short weeks! Ahhhhh!!!!! Anyway, after that we hit Walmart for some grocery shopping, which was hilarious with two cart-riding kids! Jax was packed in the basket like a little sardine with food all around his car seat! Next time we are going to opt for two carts, or a babysitter:)

While we were at Walmart we picked up a large pack of chicken breasts. I grilled them all up and stck them in the fridge to use to make lunches for the week. For lunch today I made a grilled chicken wrap. Inside i put grilled chicken (duh), apple slices, grapes, cilantro, tomato, baby spinach, and low fat ranch. I also used 96% fat free tortillas. They were AMAZING! I will certainly make them again. 

For dinner we had turkey stuffed peppers from the biggest loser website. It was the first recipe that we have made from that site that we didn't like at all. :( Better luck tomorrow:)

Tonight our workout was Kempo X. It had a lot of punching and kicking. I loved it! It was certainly my favorite one yet. I cant wait for next Monday when we do it again!

Overall today was a great day! It was nice to sit at home in the afternoon and cuddle our babies that we missed while we were gone. Kara is getting so big and grown up and Jax, well, he still mostly sleeps! Tomorrow Kaleb has to work, and Im taking the kids to see their PaPa and Jen Jen who are back home after a few weeks of trucking. They cant wait!

Have a good night!
