The Weekend!

It's Friday!  I'm thrilled for many, many reasons. 
Fridays are my favorite day of the week even though I'm a stay at home mom.  I feel like I have more control of myself.  I know, seems strange right?  But I just feel like I get more out of my weekends than I do during the week. I feel like I get in great workouts, get to plan my meals better and spend more time with my hubby.  =)  awwww

Today Reese goes to physical therapy as she does every week.  But today is special because she is getting an evaluation.  Reese has done so much over the past week it's amazing!  She's crawling like a mad woman, and she's drinking from her sippy cup by herself.  She truly inspires me to reach my own goals.  We've come a long with her, and I'm so proud. 

This weekend is a busy one for us.  Tomorrow night we have a fundraiser dinner for my cousin's organization.  It's an amazing event, and we had a great time last year.  We are looking forward to it.  What I'm not looking forward to?  Not knowing what's to eat.  I won't be able to figure out my WW points ahead of time.  But that's okay.  I'll figure it out.  I was able to do it last week with 2 parties, and I lost 3.2 pounds.  I'll be picky with what I eat on my plate, and then I'll shake my booty on the dance floor and burn off the calories.  I'm also planning on going to the gym tonight to get in a good workout and then I plan to workout tomorrow morning as well.  So 2 good calorie burning workouts should do the trick.  And of course, I'll workout on Sunday morning too.

I'm soooo close to hitting my first 5% at WW.  I set myself a hefty goal for Tuesday's weigh in, but I feel with being down and out yesterday with a migraine I won't make it.  I'm not going to beat myself up about it.  I had to get myself better, and I did.  I feel better today.  I got a lot of sleep yesterday and overnight and I feel so much better.  I hope that I can get to my hefty goal, but if I don't, I'm not going to freak out.  I'm going to take what I get and be happy.  What a different way of thinking for me.  In the past, I would be so mad that I didn't hit my goal.  Now?  If I lose, I'm happy!  I'm in such a different frame of mind this time around, and I really feel like I'm going to make it happen.  2012 is my year to get healthy, happy and fit! 

Starting next week I'll get more into what I'm eating on a daily basis and what kind of exercises I'm doing.  I know some are interested, so I will start on Monday. 

I hope that everyone has a fabulously, healthy weekend!  Have fun!
