HAPPY VALENTINES DAAAAAAAY!!! I love LOVE so I LOVE Valentine’s Day! Brad and I didn’t get to get each other anything or do anything but just being with him is enough for me. We both would really like to have a “date” tho and get to go out to dinner sometime!

DAY 4 OF HIGH PROTEIN! We woke up to another beaaaaaautiful day! I woke up at 7:30AM but went back to sleep until 9AM… then tried to sleep but woke up at 9:30AM and repeat until like 10AM? I finally got up and started getting things ready for breakfast. I thought I would face the scale this morning just to see. I was expecting the number I’ve been seeing lately but NOPE! I’ve lost like… 3 pounds? EXCITING! I eventually went back into the bedroom to wake Brad up and have some fun, heh. We all got up and I had to wash Katie down since she was a bit wet and then we ate breakfast and relaxed until we decided to get ready to head out for groceries. OH and breakfast- didn’t have anymore eggs so I took lentils, pumpkin, protein powder and flaxseed to heat up a chocolate mix and toasted sandwich buns to put some of the mixture onto plus my WHOLE apple. It was all quite good. A bit before we left, I munched on a small handful of roasted almonds.

Grocery shopping highlights!
~ caramel GREEK YOGURT!
~ pineapple mango Trop50 juice
~ canned pumpkin! always a fav
~ Brad bought like 30 bananas, lol
~ bought 3 kiwis, 1 peach, plum and pear to nibble on this week
~ my sweet potatos!

Those are just some that get special mentioning! We bought within our budget, yay! Also- BOO! The blood pressure machine at Wal-Mart wasn’t working!!!! I told one of the ladies that work there about it so hopefully they’ll get it fixed soon so I can get a digital read. I got a choco protein bar to pair with my salad for lunch! By the time we got home, I had to get bussssy putting things away plus chopping up fruits/veggies and preparing my lunch! I fed Katie her lunch then scrambled to get mine fixed since I was hungry! For the first time in a long time I had a FRUIT CUP (mixed fruit) with my big veggie salad! I was going to eat the choco protein bar with the salad but by the time I got done with my salad and fruit, I was pretty full so I saved it for later. We decided after I was done that we were going on a WALK outside! Our first walk out on the road walking together in a LONG time! Ohhhhhh man that sun felt WONDEROUS to me. I got to really try out the new jogging stroller.. except no jogging, just a decent pace walk plus a few hills. Katie pitched a fit when we first strapped her in but once we got going, she just looked around. Her tummys been bothering her randomly today. We went for about a 40 minute REALLY NICE walk! We got back and of course Katie pitched ANOTHER fit once we were on the backporch. She was overtired because It was almost 5PM so yes, I knew she DEFINETLY needed a late nap. I fed her a quick snack then Brad changed her, rocked her a little then put her down. Brad and I watched the latest episodes of The Office and Perfect Couples! I snacked on the protein bar and a cup of cheerios plus a few raisins and 2 almonds. Once we were done watching that, I watched an episode of Secret Life while Brad played on his computer. I got Katie up a little after 7PM so she could eat then play and after a while, she started to cry so I’m guessing tummy since her belly felt firm. She’s had 2 poo diapers today though so maybe just stomach pains. Around 7:30PM I ate a small sweet potato with 1 tablespoon peanut butter- love that so much!!! I was gonna let Katie stay up until around 9:30PM but she was upset because of her tummy and just whining so Brad got her ready for bed then put her down.

I’m eating dinnnnnnner! For the first time in a long time I cooked sweet potato fries! We used to eat them very often so YAY! Also bought some crab meat to go as a side and that was something else we used to buy pretty often. Dessert is going to be frozen caramel greek yogurt mixed with choco protein powder! After I finish eating and doing a few things online, we’re going to study scriptures together then possibly watch a MOVIE!

Hope your LOVEday has been fantastic!!!! I’m so stoked about the warm weather. That’s definetly a mood UPLIFTER for me!!!
