Another day!


 My dad found a good deal on another little play house on KSL so we bought it, suckers that we are.  Why is it so tempting to spoil your kid rotten!
With the potty training she is doing well today – on space 2 of the Frozen game.  She really wants her prize!

I keep thinking about my Disneyland idea – planning a trip right now like putting a deposit down.  I keep thinking about it and it just excites me SO much.  Haven’t been able to fit on a roller coaster forever.  I CAN’T wait!
              
PRISON MEALS:

Hopefully I’m never knowingly eating my last meal (sadly probably most of our last meals is like jello in some crappy hospital), but here is what I would choose on my last day:

Breakfast:  Pancakes with extra butter & syrup, eggs with cheese & salsa, and hash browns with cheese, and a cinnamon roll with butter (I mean it’s my last day right?)

Lunch:  chicken Caesar salad with extra croutons and dressing, sugar cookie with frosting (hmmm maybe 2), and a chocolate brownie with frosting

Dinner:  Enchiladas, carrot cake 

PET PEEVES:

The biggest pet peeve for today is how I lost my ability to work from home when they reorganized my department.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I am grateful to have one and for all the benefits I have, so really I shouldn’t complain (but when has anything every stopped me lol)

I REALLY miss working from home because it means less time with Sammi.  And I didn’t even have her here with me during the day or anything, but this was the difference.  Adam goes into work later and would take Sammi to his sisters, therefor I would typically start working at 7 AM and Sammi would hang out with me for an hour before she left for work.  Then I would typically exercise with Lisa (my bestie) during the day.  Then I would go get Sammi at 4 and be home by 4:30.  Now I have to be available for meetings much later so if I work until 5, I may not get home until 6:30 – 2 hours later!  And when she goes to bed at 8:30, that’s not much time.  So not working from home means I have 2-3 less hours a day with my little angel.  I really miss it so much!  It makes my heart just ache thinking about it!

WARM FUZZIES:

Life gets pretty hard sometimes, right?  Sometimes it feels like it’s really kicking your ass.  You get so tired and there is so much going on, but there are some really precious moments in life where you sit back and think “I want to remember this always.”  Today’s moments:

·      Sammi having me open my mouth and saying “Let me see your blood Mommy.”  After explaining she says “I’m very disappointed” (as only a precocious 3 year old can say)

·      Adam pressing me for a bigger hug this morning on the way out

·      Working on a fun video (for once) at work

·      Sammi showing Grandma Susan (her wall grandma-my mother that died when I was 14)

·      Sammi “Mom, I missed you all day, I wanna hold you”

I know I’m cornball, but I’m so smiling right now!

IN REVIEW:

I was within my calories today, BUT the food I had was not as healthy and more on the fattening side so I need to watch that.  Honestly if I only do that one day besides my cheat meal on Saturday, I will still lose but I want to lose as much as possible and quicker rather than slower considering how much I have to lose.  Yet they do say you should lose it slow to ensure you keep it off, but at my weight I can lose more than the average joe.  It is better to be as strict as possible.  But you have to live right?  So it is a constant battle.

I guess it’s kind of like getting out of debt.  There are those that are hard core cancel your cable, don’t buy magazines and don’t go out to get out of debt as quick as possible – then there are those who slowly pay off their debt and then there is everyone in between there somewhere.  The rapidity of your results is based on how much you are will to sacrifice.
