No matter how hard I tried I still put on 3 pounds over the crazy holiday season. So it's back to the workout program. My only problem is finding the right time to work out. We use to go on walks in the morning before Alexandra's morning nap. Then we would go out for playdates before her afternoon nap. Now that we are down to one nap (from 1 to 3) we do our playdates in the morning. I could go on a walk when she gets up at 3 but the motivation is gone by then.
I guess I really liked working out in the morning because then I was done for the day. Any tips to stay motivated throughout the day?

Back to"normal"
I love the Christmas season. But the day after Christmas I'm over the decorations and just want things to go back to "normal". Anyone else have these feelings?
We took down our tree and decorations yesterday. My living room has shrunk with everything decorated. The only thing left to do is put the boxed back in the attic.
Our morning and afternoon rutiens are going back to normal too. To all the moms out there (or anyone else) Alexandra functions so much better with a rutiene. I'm looking forward to a quiet week and not having to run around town all morning and eating out everyday.

Happy New Year!
Hello 2012! 2011 was a hard year for our family so we are looking forward to a new year. I don't know how we did it but VJ and I stayed up till 2:00 last night. We can't remember the last time we were up that late. We think the gun fire at midnight gave us an adrenalin boost.
Yes we are sure it was gun fire. We could hear a car drive up the road while firing a gun. There was also the recognizable shotgun, and the sound if someone unloading a clip. This was followed by lots of police cars rushing to our area. Alexandra slept through the whole thing.
So we really hope we can sell the house this year:)!
Other than the house we also want to get our family back in shape. So it's time to bring back the lose it app. Instead of having one big goal i think smaller goals are more achievable. So my goal is to be down 10 pounds by Valentines Day. That's it. I'll come up with a new goal on the 14th.
My other goal is to take more "me time". As you know I've been struggling with ulcerative colitis since August. One thought my doctor and I had was to help me have more time to relax and rest. So I take meds to help me sleep all night and listen to calming waves while Alexandra takes a nap. I think that should also mean I should go to a day spa on a biweekly bases:) just a thought:).
So happy new years everyone. Let's make it a wonderful year.
