Postdated 1 day lol


The weekend was really nice. On Saturday, we just visited the waterpark like usual. Sunday, we headed to Jellystone and had a great time! It was so cute! The water was a bit cold in the spray park area, but the pool temperature was that of bath water. I loved it. Emerson and my nephew had a blast. We will definitely be going up there again. There was so much variety too. We got there around 11:15 and stayed until about 4:15, so we certainly got our money’s worth. Em was pretty worn out when we got home. He ended up sleeping in until about 830am the next morning. We were off from daycare and work, so we picked my nephew up  and headed to Peace, Love, and Little Donuts. Emerson ripped his shirt off in the middle of the place. Ha! What a little exhibitionist! Afterwards, we went to the spray park, then swimming at my parent’s house. It was a nice day off.

This week is shaping up to be so hectic. I’m training for my new job and also training someone else to take over some of my current job functions. It’s absolutely insanity here. I had five training sessions yesterday.  The rest of the week looks to follow that same trend. It’s exciting to learn something new though, so I welcome it with open arms although I am already a bit overwhelmed and intimidated. That’s to be expected though.

This weekend, it’s going to be a complete wash out, so we’re heading to the science center. I’m not sure what else we’ll do. I might just take Em up to the mall play place for something free to do, then visit my sister and parents. We’re off again on Monday. I’m taking the boys to Kid’s Village, which is just the kid’s version of this international food fest that we go to every year. The international village starts the very next day, so I’m sure we’ll stop through at some point during the week. Kid’s Village is free though, so my plan is to take them over there, then to swim afterward at my parent’s house. That’s about all we have on the list. I’m poor as heck. I don’t get paid again until the 19th, so it’ll be like this for a while. We do have some exciting things coming up though. We’re doing Idewild on the 21st, which is an amusement and waterpark all rolled into one. We’re also doing The Bubble Run on the 27th. It’s just a 5k that has a ton of colored bubbles stationed throughout the route. We’re taking the kids. I think they’ll LOVE it. After the bubble run, we have a birthday party to head to. Outside of that, we’ll hopefully get in some more waterpark time. That’ll round out our summer. It went fast!

Now, let’s talk about me for a bit. I am on day #10 of the 21 day fix and am down 9 inches! I cannot believe it. I feel so much better. A lot less bloated and puffy. My clothes are fitting again too, which is nice. I’m enjoying eating clean and working out too.  I need to get my water intake up. I know that’ll make all the more difference. I can’t wait to see what my results are after week #2. I don’t think they’ll be as jarring as week #1, but I’ll take any loss at this point. I haven’t burnt out yet, which is good. I am trying to go as long as I possibly can. Even more so than these 21 days that I’ve set a goal for. We’ll see how that pans out. Over the weekend, I didn’t mess up at all. I packed healthy snacks for myself, so that I didn’t succumb to any temptations. It feels good to be back on the wagon. It’s so hard to do this forever though. I know there will be a point when I fall off. My hope is that I just cheat here and there. Living a 90/10 lifestyle is ideal. I just know that buckling down now is the key. I need to be fully committed and focused before I start wavering off of this eating plan a bit.

Alright, that’s about all I have for now. Have a super Wednesday!
