Today's the day!

We're finally moving!  :D

Boxes, boxes, everywhere!

The boxes are taking over my house!  It's a good feeling to have so much stuff packed up and ready to go, but I really can't wait to get them all out of here!  And as far as I know, our apartment hasn't been shown to anyone yet, so I want to keep it looking semi-decent.

So, according to our new apartment's website, we will have a work out room!  I am pretty pumped about that!  I really love to walk, but really have a hard time doing it in weather like this.  I feel like I've been doing pretty well on my diet, so I am hoping to start focusing on the exercising soon.  I know it sounds lame, but I just really don't have time.  So I am going to keep focusing on healthier eating and then get exercising when I can.

Last night I finally got out shopping to get Valentine's for my kids, and boy, were they picked over!  Plus, it's hard to find appropriate valentine's for toddlers (my youngest is 11 months and the oldest is 2).  So, I ended up snagging the last box of heart-shaped fruit snacks.  Those are age appropriate, and I know they'll love them!

We don't have any plans for tomorrow, I work at the mall and Cory always works until 10.  Do you and your sweetie have any Valentine's plans? :)

It's the Freakin' Weekend!

This picture pretty much describes me this weekend.  It's always nice to have a whole weekend off, especially between the 2 jobs.  Yesterday, I was able to meet up with some of the girls from my old daycare and have lunch with them.  I had been doing sooo good all week with my eating, so I had a grilled chicken sandwich.  They had sooo many burgers and sandwiches that looked good, but I passed them up :)  Although I did have french fries, I figured I deserved a little treat. :)  Cory and I went to see Silver Linings Playbook last night too, it was fun to have a date night!  We were trying to remember the last movie we had seen together, but we couldn't... lol.  I feel like we're an old married couple!
This morning when I stepped on the scale, I lost 4.7 pounds this week!  It felt so good, knowing that I had really watched what I ate this week and was able to stay away from the drive-thru!  I've lost 13 pounds overall, and still going strong! :)
Today is reserved for cleaning and packing.. 3 weeks from now, we'll be in our new apartment, I can't wait!

Another week...

I was pretty proud of myself this week.  I went and talked to my boss about the negative feedback I've been getting regarding my classroom.  It's just really hard when you think you're doing your best.. and all anyone has to say is negative.  So I told her I would appreciate a little more positive feedback.. because come on, you need to hear that!  EVERYONE needs to know they're doing something right.  Even if it's just my interactions with the kids (which I think is THE most important aspect of childcare, not lesson plans and observations).

I had a rough week foodwise.  The weather was bad, we're low on groceries, whatever excuse I can give... I hit up the drive thru twice.  So after that, I've been watching what I eat more carefully and tracking my points to get back on track.  All I have to say is THANK GOD coffee is 0 points! ;)

I've been having weird back pains this week too.  Not sure if it's actually my back, or digestive, or even feminine problems.  If it's not better after this weekend, I will be going in to walk-in are, because I can hardly walk and some points in the day.  It's worse when I am up and down all the time with the kids.


I am so excited, my bestie is coming down from Rochester today!  We've been friends since she moved to little ol' Fennimore in Elementary School, we lived in the same college town together, and now she's working at Big Bad Mayo Clinic in Rochester and enjoying being a newlywed!  Her wedding was such an awesome time, but I have to say, there are some mighty good BEFORE pictures of me that showed up in her album!

My favorite picture from the wedding.. guess us girls aren't as strong
as we thought!

Have an amazing weekend everyone!
