What I've Been Up To Lately

I have wanted to blog every day this week and just haven't really gotten the chance to do it. So instead I thought that I would just do an update of sorts.

Life has been a little busier lately than I am used to.

Last Saturday I started Jamie Eason's Live Fit 12 Week Program. Today was day 8 of the pogram for me which means it was my 5th day at the Gym and I actually love it! I started it before but stopped after a couple of weeks. Since then I have gained more weight so I am kicking my ass into gear! I have to do something and this seems like the perfect fir! Plus, this lovely friend is doing it with me! Even if she lives across the country from me we can still support one another! I am already down 4 pounds and I am so excited to lose even more!

Last SUNDAY Sydney had her swimming lessons and she actually did a really good job! I was so proud of her! We even took her to DQ afterwards to celebrate with a scoop of ice-cream before dinner. She was so proud of herself. I just hope she will do as good tomorrow.

Monday we went to a playgroup that I have heard about and to be honest, Sydney loved it, but I could do without going. She loved it because of the new toys to play with, the crafts they did, and the snack they provided. But for me it was literally an hour and a half of sitting there doing nothing. The mom's that were there weren't very friendly to newcomers aside from one or two. So unless our story time friends accompany us, I do not think we will be going back.

Tuesday we babysat two of Sydney's best friend's so that their parents could go and do something. By the end of the day we were all exhausted. But Sydney just couldn't take any more and fell asleep watching tv with us.

Wednesday we had story time. Sydney absolutely LOVES going to the library. Then add Mrs. Foster telling stories into the mix and she just flips. This week our story time included a craft. Can you guess what this weeks story was about?

This Thursday we went to our old stay-cation location and went and had dinner. Then we stayed the night and went swimming in the pool. I was so proud of Sydney. She swam in the huge 51 person hot tub like a pro!!! She likes it way more than the cold pool. She was wearing her puddle jumper here and only wears arm floaties at swimming lessons. I wonder if that would make a difference. lol.

I haven't been getting nearly as much work done as I would like, but I feel like I am working all the time. haha! Do you ever go through this?
