Last night we did wind up watching a movie! We watched GROWN UPS! It was pretty good but I had taken some sinus meds before we started watching and towards the end I was REALLY jittery and hella sleepy so I went straight to bed afterwards. Brad… on the other hand stayed up until 4AM! Hah.

WHEEEEEEHOOOOOO. After breakfast, I did a full body Wii Active workout for 30 minutes then got on the treadmill DETERMINED to burn 500 calories. I did walking and jogging intervals and also some faster sprints in there but It’s still rough on my lungs and also I had taken some pills this morning so those give me a sick feeling in my tummy. OH speaking of pills… the generic excedrin I took this morning really seemed to help me! I got off the treadmill a handful of times to get a drink of water and to do this or that. Brad put Katie down for an early nap after she ate while I finished treadmill time. 3.2 miles took me 52 minutes! I ate a snack afterwards then got a shower and fixed my lunch!!! After fixing my hair and hanging out a little, I got Katie up, fed and we were ready to head out to go visit his Grandma! I packed Katie’s diaper bag then brought along water, Zone bar, sweet potato + my choco protein powder and peanut butter mix to eat for a later snack. It’s been rainy all day with a little thunder here and there so we had a chilly, rainy drive. When we got to her town, Brad stopped @ a grocery store to see If they had some boxes and they did so he got a handful… YAY! It was great to see his Grandma again!!!!!! We had a really great time. Just talking and Brad’s Grandma gave Brad a bunch of stuff that his Grandpa (who passed away in January) wanted him to have. Awwww. We said our goodbyes and headed towards home around 8:15PM. We got home then brought all our stuff inside and Brad put Katie straight to bed. Dinner is in the oven!

Looks like we might be going to Georgia to stay with my Mom PROBABLY MONDAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If that is the case then I GET TO BE WITH MOM ON MY BIRTHDAY, YES! :]

I’ve felt really good today and my head hasn’t hurt once! Blood pressure seemed to “feel” like it managed better too. The pants I wore this evening are pretty tight so now I feel a bit bloated. Ugh. Calories for todays meals after dinner will be right around ~1500 again so I AM SUPER HAPPY WITH THAT! I’m a little eager to see what the scale will say this coming Monday. I do expect a lower number because of all the hard exercise I’m doing PLUS tracking my calories so close but we’ll see. Even If I don’t see a change I WILL KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT UNTIL I REACH MY GOAL OF 130 AND WILL BE AS FIT AS I WAS THIS TIME LAST YEAR BUT THIS TIME EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t tell you how excited I am! To lose this extra weight and to MOVE and have a new beginning for us as family. SO THANKFUL, GRATEFUL AND BLESSED! Always…
