Re: AW Thursday

  • My aw is that I've done really well eating healthy this week!  It is so much easier now that I am back to my routine (working).  I can pack my lunch and I can't really get at anything else.  I gained about 5 pounds while I sat at home over the holidays... It got a bit out of control (those cookies and pies and other desserts were just so delicious! and I just kept telling myself "it's the holidays!")

    Good job! 

    My AW is that I got the OK from work to take time off at the end of Feb. for Disney!  It's really happening!

  • We had plans to go to Sweden in March, but due to work policy (from DH's employment), it looks like a no go.  Upside - We are going to San Francisco instead!!!

  • I always have trouble drinking the recommended amount of water each day and I always feel like I have to force myself to drink more. I got a soda stream though for Christmas and drinking the carbonated water really helps. I like it much better than plain water and since I started using it I've been drinking 2 liters each day no problem (that is approx 8 servings of 8oz).

  • Not so much a good thing, but I'm back to work this week.  On the positive side, I have at least a little more time for nesting now. 

    One good thing is that it looks like I have been approved to transfer departments at work which means that I'd be able to go down to 32 hours (4 days/week).  It's not my first choice in what I'll be working on, but its completely worth it to spend one more day a week with DS.

    That's great!

  • We bought a treadmill!!!!  Ridiculously excited.  I've used it once so far, and it's a really great machine.  Now we just need to get a bigger TV in the basement...  I'm not going to lie.  I wasn't so sure I'd be able to see our little 13" when using the treadmill.  I'm on the short side and it's >just< visible for me.  LOL

  • Yesterday I was supposed to go to this new exercise class and I was SUPER thrilled to go, then my car broke... but I can excitedly say that even though I couldn't go to the workout class, I still went for a run.  Yay me! lol

    It was nice to get some fresh air in me.

    Same here.  It's so easy to just tell yourself that during the holidays.  I really need to get my butt back in gear too.  Congrats on your success!!

    Yay for San Francisco!! Have you ever been there before?

    I'm curious to know why DH's work policy prevented you from going to Sweden though.  That stinks.

    Yes

    That's awesome.  I need to start drinking more water myself.  I was really good at drinking it while pregnant, but I've slacked off recently.

    Hahahaha Brooke.  That's funny about the T.V.  If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure it'd be hard for most people to use a treadmill and focus on a small T.V.  Tell Ryan you definitely need a bigger T.V. to enhance your workout.

    I often see that commercial for the Bo-flex brand treadmill/climber/eliptical thing and kinda' wish I had one.

  • Emma has been a rockstar lately with going potty.  She had a bit of a "relapse" when Lily was born, but we're getting back to where we were so that's great.  I knew you all really wanted to know that.

    Lily has been laughing up a storm lately.  I wouldn't say she's at a full rolling chuckle quite yet, but she's getting there.  It's so much fun to try and get her laughing.  It keeps Emma busy too, so it's like killing too birds with one stone. Here's a random picture of her working up to a laugh....

    Where did you get it? I want one so bad!

    We got it at Sears.  We saw it at Dicks, but Sears had the same one which was one "sale" (same price everywhere we've seen it), then another $100 off, and if we shopped through Discover's website, they were having 15% cash back bonus for Sears.  All in all, we saved about $325.  Not too bad!

    I actually think that will be our next significant purchase (whenever that might actually be...who knows!?!).  We'll get a bigger TV for the living room, move the living room TV to our bedroom, and move the bedroom TV to the basement.  :)
