Feeling Good

The WL Front
I worked out consistently last week and ate very little a few nights in a row. And one night, I passed up the chance to dine with Linda and Jocelyn because I was worried about Abigail. It had been a tremendously long day for her and after a few hours of shopping, I was ready to get home and give her a bath. It turned out to be the best decision. 3.4 lbs lost at Sunday's WI. I think it was the combo of the workout and the careful eating.

There were a few boca burger nights, even after dining at fancy smancy Papparazzi. So I think that with the treadmill worked helped quite a bit. Also last week was the very first week that working out with Judith didn't kill me for the rest of the day.

Unfortunately, all the working out is making me late for work. I cannot continue to roll into the office by 9:30. But it is a struggle to wake up early. By the time I convince myself to run, it is always 6:30 and not 5:30.

AWB
Our little Miss is quite the face drawer. She can even draw pupils in eyes, hair and ears. It is almost too funny the faces she can draw. I am concerned that her desire for sugar is starting to take on a habit that we most likely do not want to support. I think that cutting back on DVD watching is also good for her. She loves to dance now and mimic Zoe's comments of "Don't joke me". We cannot put her in the ballet 3 class because it ends in May. We will have to pick up in September. We went to a puppet show that she sat through in its entirety. I need to figure out if going to the Sesame Street Live show is worth it.

April Already

It is April and time for the spring cleaning--doctor appointments, spa treatments, car detailing and Abigail's 3rd birthday. No spring is complete without HKB going to some European trip. My mom is coming for all the kids' birthdays and it is only a few weeks away that we are leaving for Kingston. I have to remind my mom to bring her passport.

The Weight Loss Front
I was on a really good roll for the past 2 weeks. Then I thought I was having my period and didn't get it. I gained a total of .7 lbs over the last two weeks and I am sure it is because I didn't exercise and ate chocolate, drank wine and generally indulged on stuff I haven't had in a while. I was dreading the arrival of Judith, my personal trainer today but it ended up being completely fine. I didn't have the headache from hell and no ability to move without wincing. What a difference a few weeks makes! I did eat a lot of food before I left for work though and I think that also helped. The chocolate bunny though was not a good choice overall.

There is a pot luck dinner tomorrow night and we are all set. I made a baked pasta dish and Wong Auntie will make egg rolls. I think it is a nice way for all of us to see Abigail, her teachers and her classmates. HKB is not into it at all, no big surprise there.

I thought we had broken the dvd player but it was just set up incorrectly, a setting button was pushed over when it shouldn't have been. We can return the one I just bought but I'm not sure if her current dvd is long for this world. It was an open box and we got a discount but when I opened it all up, there was no ac adapter.

We haven't been reading books lately and I really miss that. Abigail is really into dancing lately. We cannot go to ballet for 3 year olds because it ends in May. I will have to investigate what would be a good place for her in the summer or fall.
