Another Super Day for me!

Today's Good Things:
Bible time was great
Morning 15 including One Ups (whew!)
12 Smilies on MFD and NO Frownies!!
Got in a short nap this afternoon
Got in my EA workout tonite
Fun Girls Night while the guys were out

Today's Not So Good Things:
Still battling a grumpy attitude with our morning chores (MY attitude :(  )


I really had a great day today, goal-wise. I made one food choice that I wasn't overly pleased with, but redeemed it as best I could. After I woke from my nap, I was still feeling hungry, so I hunted for some protein. The leftover fried chicken that I resisted from lunch was too easy to grab and I indulged. However, I pulled all the skin and crunchy part off and just ate the meat. So, I consider that a Good Save. ;-)

I have one more workout before I finish my first week in my Nine Week Challenge on the EA Sports Active. OH, my ACHING glutes!! They are sore just enough to make me happy that I'm working them, but not so sore that I can't keep rollin'.  So far, I've enjoyed the workouts. Our two oldest that are doing the Three Week Challenge are doing great, too. I love seeing them care and work hard at getting strong and healthy.

The guys headed out for a town budget meeting tonite, so we had a Girls Night.  After we got our workouts done, we all made a yummy treat. We haven't had anything sweet in the house since Christmas, so this was fun. (and a good way to use up the leftover chocolate almond bark)  I don't have a way to know for sure the calorie count in them, but I enjoyed a treat with my girlies. No guilt, just Bliss. :D

This is cute and I don't want to forget, so I'll put it here until I get it somewhere else. Tonite my 4yo dd, Zuzu (her nickname) told me that I had made a great dinner. I thanked her and said, "Hey, I think that's the first nice thing someone has said to me today." (not trying to make others feel bad, just realizing it, ya' know? It felt good to get a compliment about dinner. ;) )  So, after I said that, she was on a mission of sorts to make me smile. :D

All night she would say, "Oh, I'm going to teach MY children how to clean the table like this, Momma. I like this exercise, I'm going to teach MY children how to exercise like this, too, Momma.  Mmmmmm....these are the best treats! I'm sure gonna teach MY children how to make these one day, Momma."

So Sweet. <3 <3

Oh, one more thing! (chatty tonite, aren't I?)

I have this jean skirt that I bought after H was born. It fit well then, but after I gained back my weight, I had to quit wearing it b/c it was just too tight. Well, it fits comfortably now WITH my stretchy pants under it (so I don't freeze - and it has too high of a slit ;) ). I can't say I've gone down a size or anything, but I'm really excited that I'm fitting into the clothes I bought last spring, again. :D
