SlackerRUs

OKAY, so we aren't actually slackers. If I was slacking off I guess I would have been on here way more than I have been. I have finally gotten some time to sit back and...well do nothing I suppose. For this hour or so at least.
We have been throwing ourselves into work and responsibilities. I have enough time at the end of the day for me to think what I need to do next before I pass out from exhaustion.
The funny thing is I KNOW (seriously I KNOW!) that things can be crazier. Things I expect will get more hectic as time goes on, so I have been taking me time when I can (this is mostly for my husbands sake. Poor guy has to deal with my crazies when I get to overwhelmed. He is so the best husband I could have ever imagined!!!!!!)

Okay first I would like to say the workout program I am on is AWESOME!!! I just wish I was actually losing weight. I am fit, have a ton of energy, I have a waist and blah blah blah. And I know this is going to come (and maybe would have already came if hadn't skipped 2 days this week, so bad am I)so I am just trying to hold on to my will power.

I have been reading, and oh how nice it is to hear myself again. I forgot how much I loved it. The Help was great. It isn't on my "Favorite, must read over and over again" list. But I am glad that I have a copy so that when I feel like being sucked into Mississippi in the 1960s I have my out. I have started The Princess Bride and am so excited. I got the abridged version so not to get a genealogy lesson and get to "the good stuff." My inter-library loan of Beauty came today so it is next on my list (I can not read more than one book at a time, a talent I wish I had)


So let me brag about my adorable daughter for a little bit. She is so sweet and cute. She is not very big but walks and even tries to run (its more of a power run with her upper body flung back.) She has started throwing tiny little fits :( but so far I have been able to nip them in the bud. She talks ALL the time though I have no idea what she is talking about (though it appears to be important!) Oh, and I am sorry if she has called you. That is a new trait that I am trying to keep up with. But if you call here she will more than happy to oblige in taking the phone away from mommy or daddy so she can talk to you. She sings, she dances, she laughs all the time.

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful, perfect ::Cough:: family.

We want s'more FHE!

For FHE tonight we decided to do S'mores! It was a big hit with us all!

Addie was a big helper.

In both preparation and eating :) She loved them a lot but it wasn't a big surprise since graham crackers and chocolate is on the top of her "absolutely love" list.  

Something is up with my editor so hopefully this is coming up right. This is the a video of addie dancing. It is so cute. You turn on music and now she does "steps" and twirls (maybe spin is a better word) but it is soooo cute.



OKAY! Last but not least my Resolutions.
Today was another Monday (weigh in day) and it rocked! I am under my original weight AND lost the same amount in inches that I lost last week again! (I have a waist!!! and my baby belly is almost gone!!!) I am about to go into the next phase of the work out and I am a little concerned cause it takes longer and it looks a little hard core :/ but I am sticking with it!

I have left 150 pages of The Help left and so far it is awesome. I went to the library today to line up my next book and of course my list I took with me all those books had been checked out or sent to other branches (Frustrating!) so I have chosen The Princess Bride (haha I know!) I have never read it and I thought it could be fun.

Ice Storm '10

We had a beautiful Ice storm. Beautiful but problematic.Our power got knocked out and we figured it would come on again soon, but we found out soon that was not going to be the case. We had enough wood to last us that night so luckily things weren't grim. So we bundled up. Addie had fun with that.

The next day we went to a close friends house where they let us crash until our power came back on! So we are home now and I have to clean house from the day we had no power.

So my diet is going awesome! Even with missing 2 days of exercise (with the power being out) I lost any where from .5"  to 1.5" in my waist, hips, thighs, and chest EACH. I did gain a pound, but since muscle weighs more than fat that is fine by me.
