Note Book and mini goals
I bought a note book today. I bought this little note book to help me keep track of my daily activities and what I am eating through out the day. I need to help make myself accountable for the way I am treating my body. I have made the mini goal of getting to 150 pounds by the time my niece is born. See, I need to make mini goals for myself otherwise I get off track. Also, I know that I will love baby Isabelle more then anything but, this is also going to be harder on me then most people realize. I think if I give myself a goal, and I get to it, I will have something to be proud of too. Might not be a baby of my own but it will be something. Please help cheer me on as I try my hardest to reach 150 pounds by Isabelle's due date. Isabelle is due July 18th. Not a lot of time to do it but if I try, I just might pull it off.
Wow!
Wow! has it really been a month since i posted last? time flys when you are having fun! or actually just plain ol' busy. Lets see, what has happened in the last month?
May 30th was Angela and Zack's Wedding in Suttons Bay. We had a lot of fun and even got to go do some wine tasting. We experienced a whole new wine that will be perfect for those cool nights by the camp fire. It is a spiced wine that is served warm. It was very yummy!
The first week of June we spent trying to get back in the groove of things. We spent a lot of time getting caught back up on chores and put some of our chicken eggs in the incubator. The second and third week of June was kind of a blur. Our 5 year wedding anniversery was on Friday, June 19th. I took a half day off of work and spent time at home hanging out with Bryan. It was nice because we spent the majority of the day just relaxing which is something we do not do very often. We ended up dressing up that night and going out to a fancy dinner. It as nice to get dressed up and feel special. Bryan and I opened our presents from each other. Bryan made me a cutting board out of walnut and bought me a professional series Kitchen Aid chopping knife. Might seem like a wierd anniversery present to some but it was really right up my ally. Ilove to cook and bake and it was kinda neat because the cutting board was made out of the same wood and stained the same stain we are using for our counter tops. Yes, we have opted to put in custom butcher block counter tops instead of the granite. Our house is going to be more of a craftsman style house and I think the walnut counter tops will accent the rest of the wood work nicely.
So here we are, the last week of June and all I can say is it is Hot! way to hot outside. I dont mind the heat but the humidity is just horrible. I spent last night trying to learn how to mow the lawn. I was not very successful. Call me crazy but it is a lot scarier then I thought. I just dont like having to go around things. Needless to say, Bryan told me to just concentrate on the house work and exercising. I went for a 4 mile bike ride last night after it cooled off and enjoyed seeing all the animals along the way. I encountered a mama deer with two fawns and came across my favorite house who for the last year have had 3 very cute cows well, steers. For all of you who call a cow, a cow... I am often corrected that a female is a Cow and a male is a bull or a steer. I guess that all depends on if the got the nuts still. OUCH! anyways i still stand by a cow is a cow is a cow kinda thing. Its not like I am going to ask my 3 year old what is that and say a steer. no, its a fricking cow! or say whats a steer say... mooo? It is totally a cow. anyways, the house with the three cows have 3 new baby cows too so now there are 6. Oh and those eggs we put in the incubator three and and a half weeks ago were starting to hatch this morning. It makes me so happy to see them hatching. We do not always have such good luck. Mother nature is much better at taking her course and making things turn out the way they should.
Other then that, the weight thing has not been going so good. I kinda lost my ambition a little bit due to some depression and I am trying my hardest to get back to where i was. It has just been hard latley so I am just going to take one day at a time.
