On to other news...my husband was sweet enough to hang out with the kids after school so I could hit the gym after work, run home and shower, and then leave again for yoga class. It was such a treat, and did wonders for my mood. To make the evening even better, Cole was in charge of preparing dinner, setting the table, serving AND cleaning up. He had to do this to earn one of his cub scout achievements. He made tacos, and did a great job!Tomorrow evening the 2nd graders at Cole's school are having a fundraiser pasta dinner, and will be performing a few songs. They are raising money to go downtown and see a live performance of "The Wizard of Oz". Since Gracie is in a 1st/2nd combo class, she gets to take part as well. They have been working hard on their songs...it will be a very entertaining evening!
Remember my "Biggest loser" contest at work? The final weigh-in is this Friday. We'll see how it goes! Regardless, I'm really proud of myself for what I have already accomplished. It's been a fun thing to do and most importantly, has completely changed my life for the better. It's also taught my kids the importance of healthy eating and excercise. Every day I see them make a choice that reinforces our new lifestyle. Maybe its drinking a glass of water, choosing an apple or cheese for a snack, Gracie turning on a yoga video, or Cole choosing to ride his bike instead of sit inside. We are all living a healthier and happier lifestyle, and I am nearly 40 pounds lighter! The other day I picked up two 20-pound bags of bird seed at the store. I couldn't believe that was equivalent to how much less weight I am carrying around. Amazing!
It's off to bed now, as it will be a painfully early morning for me. (4am....how rude!) Wishing you all a wonderful evening!
