It's Friday!!

Another week has gone by, it seems like January is flying by, perhaps a little to quickly. That means I'm that much closer to having a 3 year old :(

I'm still enjoying "back to healthy!" weighed in this morning, down another 3lbs which brings me to a total of 11lbs lost since January 1st!! Oh yeah, I'm super happy about that, reaching my goal of losing 10lbs a month.  Hopefully I can keep that monthly goal going!  I have been having a hard time trying to fit in working out, I've really enjoyed doing my workouts early in the morning before anyone wakes up. I can do that, shower, dress and have at least 20 min to sit by myself before Jaelon wakes and our day starts. The down side, I'm not one to eat as soon as I open my eyes so if I do a workout without eating, I struggle through because I don't have that energy. If I MAKE myself eat before, I end up feeling like I'm going to vomit half way through the workout.  So this week, I've gotten up, MADE myself eat, sit/enjoy the quiet and wait for the mista to wake. I get him all set up and then jump in to my workout! He has started to really enjoy that time, he gets to sit on mommy's bed and eat berries, read books and drink milk! Oh I know what you're thinking, BERRIES in bed WOW how brave! Truth is he loves them so much, I really don't worry about it. Plus that's what washing machines and oxy clean is for ;)  He may become my little personal trainer, our conversation this morning:

J: Mama, workout, exercise
M: Later, we're going to the library after breakfast.
J: (jumping, happy scream) WORKOUT!
M: How about we blast the music and dance while we change our clothes!
J: YAAY!

Gotta love being able to quickly distract them at this age! Though it didn't last long, while we were in the library he felt the need to scream out excitedly "WORKOUT, EXERCISE!"  At least he's enjoying it, right!!!

The rest of our week has been the usual stuff going on, playgroups, playdates, crafting and baking. We made a batch of bread, took some to church for "souper Sunday" and a delicious coffee cake this week and took it to our smaller playgroup. It's been a pretty good week, I've tried a few new dinner recipe's  as well. I really should write them down to keep track and post them to share. I'll have to go back now and look them up, so far another resolutions kept and slightly changed for the good!!  Also had some very encouraging words from a friend, I've been thinking about things a lot since our kids playdate.  Hope your week has been as good as ours has been.
Enjoy the weekend!
