My morning started at 2 am. I heard a ruckus in the living room and of course i went to check it out. To my shock and complete enragement, the dogs had knocked over the trash can and proceeded to drag trash all throughout the house as they snacked on it! Needless to say.. they spent the rest of the night outside with the scary thunder! Thankfully sweet Mr. Kaleb picked up all the trash:) At around 9:00 I met my MIL at IHOP for breakfast with the kids and Aunt Brenda. Kara looked so very sweet with her pigtails and big smile that i almost forgot how rough of a day we had the day before. Almost:). I was very proud of myself at breakfast, i ordered the harvest nut and grain pancakes and i used sugar free syrup. It was really yummy!
After breakfast we hung out at Mammy's for a while and then came home to a very messy house. Kara was in a sweet mood all day. I lOVE it when she is in a good mood. Makes mommy's day go much smoother. She helped me unload and load the dishwasher. I wonder if she will still think it is so much fun when she is twelve?? I let her watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while i prepared dinner (it needed to be served cold so i had to cook it ahead of time). For lunch i had some greek yogurt and fruit (which i have grown to love).
Kaleb got home and definitely looked tired. I guess the long summer days and going to bed so late are catching up with him. He actually laid on the floor and fell asleep! I did feel sorry for him, but part of me certainly wanted to pour cold water on him out of jealousy:) That man can sleep through ANYTHING! Be it a tornado, a screaming baby, earthquake, break in, or anything else. I wake up if the house creeks or the toilet is running!
Dinner was a success! Thai lettuce wraps from the biggest loser website (Kaleb posted the link).
The only downfall is that you have to do so much prep ahead of time. May not work so well once school starts and i have to go back to my day job!
All day i was super excited about doing the yoga workout... and then we started... and only made it through about 1/3 of it! The moves those people can do are crazy! I feel kinda like we failed on the workout front tonight but tomorrow is a new day! I cannot let myself get discouraged!
Tomorrow is Friday and we are taking our sweet girly girl on a date all by herself. I think she is need of some undivided attention from her mommy and daddy. Then she will spend the night at Mammy's. We have date night every Friday night. I so look forward to it every week. Sometimes we go out and sometimes we stay in, but either way we make sure that we get the quality time that is needed to keep us close, connected, and feeling like grown ups. I am so thankful that Mammy and Bump live so close and love keeping the kids on Friday night. I am also thankful that i have a husband, who after five years of marriage, gets as excited for date night as i do:) Since we are trying to make lifestyle changes, and not just "dieting", we decided that we would eat what we want on Friday nights. I mean not go crazy or anything but have a burger or a beer if we want one!
My goals for tomorrow are to enjoy the day with my sweet Kara, enjoy the evening with my sweet hubby, and drink lots of water!
Oh and P.S..... i did MUCH better with snacking today:)
