My thoughts

It’s been nonstop

For starters, I slept terribly last night but felt better this morning anyway. I was able to get a two hour nap this morning and feel even better after that.  The bulk of my day has been spent running errands.   I had to run to the bank, take Elliott to the store to exchange a broken Christmas present, hit Rite-Aid to deposit money into PayPal and also get my flu shot.  On the way home, I finally found a place with a used tire that we desperately needed and was able to get that done while we were out.   Elliott did really well but began not feeling good while the tire was getting replaced. He's still not feeling well and is also nauseated now. I've got him resting…

I’m not doing so well tonight

This is gonna be super short because I feel like shit. Overall, today was a really pleasant day and a great way to ring in the new year. Everyone went to bed without any problems and that was very helpful tonight because I don't feel well at all. I was fine until we got in the car and headed home tonight. My head is pounding and I just want to go to sleep. Generally speaking, I'm not doing so well tonight. I hope everyone had a great day and I'll hopefully be back up and moving in the morning.

Spent time with family today

We had a nice time with my in-laws today for New Year's dinner.  Everyone behaved and dinner was really good.  I'm pretty sure that I'm still well under my calorie goal for today and that feels awesome. I had a tiny scoop of ice cream for dessert and that was it.  ☺ My goal is to get some time on the treadmill tomorrow and keep moving forward with my fitness goals.

The boys are having a good day

It's business as usual today. We welcomed in a new year in and thus far have had a pretty good day. The boys are in pretty good moods today and that's always a good thing. Gavin is very talkative and exceptionally clumsy today.  Everywhere he goes, he's either dropping things or knocking something over. I'm not sure what's going on with him right now but I'm hoping it's just an off day for him. We are going to Lizze's parents for an early New Years dinner. I don't want to make it a late night because I'm tired and we have to get them back into their routine before school starts back in in a few days.

That was awesome or was it? 

Emmett couldn't fall asleep last night until well after midnight. Maybe it was the excitement of the new year? Maybe it was all the gunshots being fired off throughout the night? Who knows.... We reached a point where the only way to get him to fall asleep was for me to camp out in the living room with him. Needless to say, it was a long night. Rather than focus on the fact I rung in the new year on the couch, I'm choosing to look at this as I rung in the new year hanging out with my son.. ☺

A Desperately Needed Break

The boys are at their Grandparents tonight and Lizze, and I have the night to ourselves. Before the kids left, and it was a rougher day. It wasn't the worst ever by far, but it was tough nonetheless. Lizze and I are just taking it easy tonight. We picked up some dinner and watched some Netflix. I worked on some blog/work related things and Lizze worked on some art stuff. It's nice just to have some peace and quiet. Truthfully, TV was just some background noise. As weird as it sounds, the house was too quiet, and TV was just the right amount of background noise to make us feel more comfortable. We worked on our respective projects and just talked. It was a relaxing night. Nights like these help…

I’m so proud of myself

I spent the day yesterday, focusing on making better choices for myself and I did really well. I did two 30 minute sessions on the treadmill, had a 1,000 calorie deficit, hit over 12,000 steps for the first time in awhile and even did ten flights of stairs.  I feel really good and I plan on replicating this today.  This is just one of many days worth of hard work I have a head of me but it's a really good start. I'm super proud of myself and feeling very motivated to see my weight next week. :)

The boys and I ran some errands

Lizze is out with her Mom and the boys and I took care of a Christmas return we needed to do.  I'm super impressed because Emmett finally wore his crocs, even though he didn't have any clean socks. He didn't like it and it took some effort and patience but we pulled it off. We ran out to Best Buy to make the return and used the gift card to expand the automation of our home. We were able to get another Echo Dot for the boys room and they are super excited. Emmett has been asking her questions all afternoon. :) Gavin doesn't have any interest in one, which worked out well because they only actually had one left and we were lucky to find that. The Amazon Echo…
