It was raining this morning when we got up, BOOOO! I was hoping the rain would stop so Katie and I could head out for our walk and the good news is…. IT DID! Also good news is that our flowers in the front yard flower bed have ALREADY started to sprout, SQUEE. Katie and I headed out for our walk around 10:45AM this morning and I decided to take a different route and It was BEAUTIFUL. The way there It was cloudy and had a bit of a breeze so It was delightful. The area was nice and open with lots of green and we made it to an overpass and seeing the 4 lane highway down below us was awesome!!! The sun popped out on the walk back and in total I pushed a heavy stroller 5.3 miles once again! After Katie went down for nap, I did a custom workout on the Wii Active (More Workouts) and did random squats, random moves with the resistance bands and a handful of other various exercises. Decided I’d finish today’s exercise with a quick walk and running interval on the treadmill for 14 minutes and that got me a little over a mile, yes!! After I was finished, I decided to immediately try to calculate how many calories I needed for the day since I did all that exercise and It came up to around 2,400 calories! WOWIE. I ended up at a little over 2,300 so hopefully that was enough to compensate for the exercise. I actually felt better today overall as far as energy and this morning when I ate my protein bar, I actually felt a little “full” so I’m definetly making a little progress. Better than nothing! After lunch and a shower plus taking care of Katie, I FINALLY GOT TO TALK TO MY MOMMY! I haven’t talked to her in over a week! She did have a prepaid cellphone but decided it was too much of a hassle to keep buying minutes so she got her home phone back, THANK GOODNESS. I get so lonely at home so It was good to be able to have some adult conversation. I got off the phone with her and fixed dinner for Katie and I then eventually got Katie ready for bed and Brad came home! He got to hold Katie for a little before her bed time, heh. We’re actually looking into signing Brad up for the military. I think It would be a great choice for him since that could open up so many opportunities and I think he needs that sort of discipline, honestly. We shall see!
We’re just gonna hang out tonight. It’s already after 10pm so we’ll probably go to bed around 11 or a little after. Yup… that’s about it!
