February 2017... Loving our life!
I know I say this a lot...but "Life is Good!" Everyone has their ups and downs but if we just choose to smile and see the good in things you really can see that life is good :)
This February has been pretty low key. We didn't do much just focused on eating better and getting more exercise. It's been warming up in North Dakota and I'm hoping that we don't get anymore storms. Some days I look outside and it's so sunny and the snow looks like it should be melting...so I step out to breathe in fresh air only to find that it's 18 degrees not....45! I always check my outside temps now and don't trust the sunshine.
A few weeks ago I decided to paint my bedroom and change it up a bit. When we moved in, we took the Winnie the Pooh room because it was the bigger room. The curtains were falling apart and I have no idea how old they were. I painted the room light beige and one wall is teal. We changed the furniture around, added a new bedspread and new curtains. It's so much more relaxing and I actually like to go in my room.
Kamille Update: She is growing so fast! Last week I put away her 24 Month and 2T. She is now wearing 3T and some 4T. She has been working on potty training a lot. Everyday after Devin leaves we take her pants and diaper off and I let her run around and play. She has her little potty but she really likes to use the big toilet. She knows how to flush and wash her hands and then it's chocolate time. She is doing so good! She's been watching ABC movies and playing ABC games on my phone. When I sing the song...she tries really hard but just mixes all the letters around. Her numbers go like this.... 1,2,1,2,1,.....3.....8,9,10! So we are still working on that. She does however know her colors! She's one smart 2 year old :)
Lillian's Update: When we went in for Lillian's dr. appointment, she was doing great. Her jaundice was all gone and she was already over 9 lbs. She is smiling so much more and loves Kamille. Sometimes I worry Kamille is going to hurt her or smother her...but when I look at Lillian she is just so happy. She is sleeping mostly through the night and I usually have to only get up once to feed and change her. She also likes to sit up and see everything.
So I have been doing really good this month on eating better and exercising more. I am getting my week 4 measurements on Monday so I'm not sure how much I have lost, but I can see that I've lost inches already. My clothes are getting loose and I've been having so much fun.
Every morning I try to get up at 5:30 and work out. I do different things everyday. Sometimes I do just dance or a hard cardio workout. This one is my favorite!
For eating better we cut out a lot of carbs and sugar. No more pasta, rice, potatoes...etc. Here are some examples of what we are eating and it's all delicious!
Hawaiian Pizza on Cauliflower crust
I'm so glad that we are making these changes in our life. We are losing weight, we are happier, and best of all we are teaching our children to make healthy choices!
