Yesterday, I had a much needed massage. My husband has been talking about doing this for weeks. Finally, we got to go. It felt sooooo good! I have had one before this and have no idea why I did not make it a regular thing. I have always been tense in my shoulders. Here is the beautiful mistake I made before going. I got up at 6 am and did a good workout with my Jillian Michaels dvd. Then did breakfast and cleaned the house. I then did "Bollywood Dance" on FitTV. That was fabulous! I felt awesome. I wanted to workout all day. But I have not done the dvd in a while and my muscles are sore now...should've waited for that massage till today, haha. It did help though. And the best part of the massage my husband decided we become members so that we get half off pricing. =) My next choice in massage will be deep tissue.
On another note, I am glad that the baby is a tolerable teether. The first 2 teeth came in without me even knowing he was teething! The second 2 he did have a fever for a day but no crying. I believe he is getting his 1 year molars. His gums are swollen he has buckets of drool and looks like he feels "eh" parts of the day. He has put EVERYTHING in his mouth since his hands could move that direction. So, that is not a telltale sign for us.
I truly feel like I am getting healthier. I feel better when I exercise now not the tired feeling after the first few days. This weeks dinner menu hasn't been great simply because I was cooking up all the extra stuff in the cabinets and fridge so that I can clean everything out and start new. I can not just waste anything. But I have stuck to no eating after 8:30. I have eaten a super healthy breakfast everyday. I have managed to try and eat healthy lunches and snacks as well. I have my coffee in the morning and water the rest of the day. Sometimes, I sneak in a glass of superfood juice from Odwalla! =) I have decided that on non-rainy days I will walk Hanna to school and pick her up. If its raining I will let her ride the bus or pick her up. That is my goal for this whole school year!!! I am excited. It will be about a 30 min walk to and from in the morning and in the afternoon. On top of a work out, I think I see a few lbs falling off all ready! On Friday I am going to start weighing myself and posting the lbs on here, kind of as a motivational tool. If I have to share the number with people then I sure want it to lower, right?! As far as eating goes. I am still in search of delicious recipes to try out on my family. Over the last month or two I have managed to find a few good ones. I think I am going to try one or two vegetarian meals a week also. When I do use meat I do try to use turkey or chicken only. My inlaws give us beef and sausage sometimes and who can argue with free food? I feel good about my healthiness. Yeah, I am not perfect but I am trying and giving it my all for sure now!
