Week Reflection

Well, even with Isaac sick and not babysitting (leaving us $100 shorter than normal) this week has gone pretty well. Isaac seems to be better, but I'm wondering if he has fluid in one of his ears, he has been a little crabby today and has been tugging on his right ear a little (though he does that anyway, so its hard to tell). I look forward to him being able to TELL me whats wrong!

Dear Fiancee and I had some really good talks this week, and both said we feel we are getting along better. He is feeling better about his job, and his better attitude about it has trickled down to our time together too. We both seem to be just enjoying our time as a family and cherishing the little things. The wedding we went to last weekend really got us both in the excitement of having our own.

I'm looking forward to the fall. The leaves are already starting to turn and the weather has finally cooled a bit. I love the fall- I wish I lived somewhere it was fall all year.

My Slim Fast diet is going the way I figured it would, pretty badly. I have been snacking still, and the past two days couldn't have a shake for lunch because of all the "snacks" I had. I made it outside a few times for a walk and did get on my eliptical once, so it wasn't a total loss. I definitely can say I did much better this week than the week before, and am happy with that. I will aim for doing better next week than this week. Today I am starting to track my calories on sparkpeople.com again. I've tried to get back into the habit of doing that a few times this summer without success. But I am going to try again this week. If I have tracked at minimum 3 days by next Friday, I will feel content with my progress there. I gotta remember to take things slow. Just because I used to track everyday doesn't mean I can just pick up where I left off!! It won't work that way and will find myself saying the F-word: FAILURE.

I am hoping we can get out and maybe take Isaac to the beach this weekend, because I think it's probably the last week we'd be able to with the weather getting colder now. I'm excited to see how much fun he has!
