Week 2

Last week went pretty well despite being sidelined by a migraine that lasted for 2 days. Ugh, it was awful!! I managed to accomplish everything on the list except the WiiFit and shooting hoops w/ T. (I did take her and R out for some girl time which was fun) We also learned we have to buy a stand for the heavy bag so finding one is on my list for this week. My other goals for the week:

Take and post my "Before" pic for the JJB BeFit Challenge.
Not let whining about dinners derail my menu or my diet. Or anyone else's. ;)
Be a good Biggest Loser (Wii) contestant!!
Order a starter Henna tattoo kit. Fun!!
Do something active with the kids this weekend.

Pretty easy goals this week!! Looking forward to it!!

Feeling pretty accomplished

Week 1 went rather well. I had a few things I didn't get done, and a few hiccups causing me to reschedule things but all in all I got a lot done.

I got Riley to all her misc. tests and she got her driver's license which is proving to be super handy. I didn't get the boys to the indoor playground not myself to the gym since we had car issues. Got the car fixed. Yay! Got the bills paid. The new recipe we tried was a Lemon Vanilla steamed pudding and it was super yummy and fun to make. TJ didn't end up taking any time off so no "us" time, but that's ok. I also bought a punching bag with my Xmas $$ for the fun new activity with the kids. Now to clear out a space in the garage. Also, I didn't get Doc appt's scheduled either. :( Don't know what I'm afraid of there..... probably reality, but I WILL get it done!

This week (don't think I'll break it down by day since I've found that the best laid plans tend to get waylaid quickly around here!)

Clean out the garage. Make a space for the punching bag workout area.
Find out some OB/GYNs on our ins and research them. Pick one!
Get the house all clean and shiny, finish getting the stuff from the painting put back.
Stick to my calorie and exercise goals for the week.
Try the WiiFit Gold's Gym game at least 2 days.
Make one special surprise dinner for TJ. With a steamed pudding dessert.
Weather permitting take Taylor to the school to shoot hoops over the weekend.
Re-org the daily schedule to accomodate new sports schedules. Print, post, and follow!
Have some one on one time with Riley. I think she needs it right now.

Here's to a great week!! :)

Bring on the New Year!!

Got the kids' rooms moved around (again!! LOL) and we're hard at work on getting Max to sleep in his own room. Their new room is big enough to incorporate their playroom stuff (a big plus since it was formerly housed in the front room of our house and a huge pile of toys does not say "Welcome". Even has space for a blow up mattress for Mama to keep Maxie in his bed. Plus a big boost in the organization of all 4 affected rooms! Bonus!!

Max's Bday was fun, can't believe he is 3! My BABY is 3!! And Riley takes her driver's test tomorrow. Sheesh I'm old. I've also completed a (pretty basic IE easy to follow) meal plan for the week so no excuses for going off track! I have some big plans for the week as vacation is over and it's time to get serious!

Monday: Make Doc appt's w/ Family Practice and OB/GYN for complete check-ups. Pay bills and get them entered into the Excel budget. Take Riley to her skills test.

Tuesday: I am taking the little boys to the indoor playground for burning off some winter energy and taking Riley to the DMV in the morning for her written test.

Wednesday: I am back to the gym bright and early!!

Thursday: Create a menu and grocery list for the week and do the shopping. Try and use some coupons!

Friday: Since TJ is taking the day off try and work in a little couple time while kids are at school and Grandmas. :)

Saturday: Do something out of the ordinary and active with the kids.

Sunday: Try out a new recipe. Should be fun with all the cool cookbooks I bought TJ for Xmas! ;)
