My 3 Fitness Goals!!!

Here we are another day and I get to tell you all what my fitness goals are for 2010!! As I was talking to my mom I mentioned that the one fitness goal I have is getting a baby out of me!! She laughed!! However, if I had to pick 3 fitness goals they would be.....

1- Take stairs when available!!

2- Get back into a cardio routine!! However, this will have to wait awhile as I do not want to push myself to hard in the next couple of weeks!!!

3- Text more... My fingers need some good workouts!! Just goofing!!! For now I will say turn my house cleaning into a fitness routine.... You know sweep with sass!! When my mind is thinking clearly I am sure I will come up with a good number three!!! Maybe it is to just get more sleep!!!

Counting Down!!

Here we are at almost 36 weeks!! I know this is not a great shot, I have said that for the past 24 weeks... I was going to have Hailey snap the picture for me but she was already in bed!! This will have to do for now, but I will get a better one posted!! Yeah for 4 more weeks!! So very excited!!

Oh The Things That Make Me Happy!!!!

If you are not participating in the challange posted on the http://kellis-thisandthat.blogspot.com/ I would encourage you to at least think of all the things that make you happy!!! (Truly Happy) We were asked to list 5.... I know my list could go on longer as most of ours could, but here are the 5 things that make me truly happy!!!

Being with Josh!!! He makes me laugh constantly... At times I am not sure of his humor but I love it and I love him for it!! I think he is a wonderful man and an amazing father!! I know he is so excited for his little guy to arrive!!

Having Hailey in our home!! She is such a sweet little girl and has such a great personality!! I am grateful for the relationship that she and I have and know that it only will get better in time!!

Children!! There is something about children in general that make me happy!! When I see a baby in the room I light up!! I love the way they are so innocent and so forgiving!! I am grateful for my job where I get to rise to the challenge of working with them daily!!

My family!! I love my family dearly (Josh's included)!! Even though they are so far away and I miss them very much I know they are just a phone call away and I can talk to them whenever I want.... Even if it is several times a day!! I am so grateful for my mom who is willing to come and spend 3 weeks with our family to help out and take care of little Colton once he arrives!! Thank you thank you in advance!!

Friends!! I am grateful to have an amazing support system of friends around me!! It is nice to know there are so many wonderful people around to help especially knowing family is not here!! I know that we are well taken care of and that people are mindful of us!! I never realized how important a friendship really was until these past couple of years!!!

There you have it!!! I encourage all of you to think about things that make you happy!! You can report but you do not have to!!!

My Food Diary!!

Here was the challenge for today.... We were supposed to keep track of everything that was eaten!! Oh boy!!! I know I that I was supposed to remember my portions but really all I could think about was getting the food into my belly!!! Colton lets me know when he is hungry, and it is often!!

Breakfast-

Graham Crackers and milk (yummy) woke him right up!

Mid morning snack-

Toasted English muffin with butter

A whole bag of baby carrots with ranch dressing!!! Seriously this kid is going to have great vision!!

Lunch-

Ham and turkey sandwich with cheese

Nilla Waffers

2 Cheese sticks

Small cup of vanilla and chocolate mixed ice cream

Afternoon Snack-

About 5 super mini candy bars

Yogurt

Around Dinner Time-

Bagel

Orange Pineapple Juice

Strawberry Cheesequake blizzard (See if I remembered all that I ate during the day or wrote it down I would have remembered I already had little candy bars and an ice cream cup!!! Shame on me!!!

I had lots of water to drink!! No sodas!! Yeah for me!!! I still have another ham and turkey sandwich in the fridge left over from lunch... I always pack 2 because I usually have one on the drive home!! That will probably be eaten before going to bed as well!! I promise I am not a little piggy!! You all just caught me on a day where I had somewhat of an appetite! Good thing I did not have to journal when I ate the whole bag of little powdered doughnuts!!!!

Colton's Room!!

This has certainly been a work in progress but I must say I am very happy with the way it has come together!! We still need to get some things up on the wall so it does not look so bare!! We both put a lot of hard work into this room and the results have paid off!!! I am so grateful for a friend who allowed me to barter babysitting for a crib, glider, changing table, 2 full boxes of clothes and a jumper-roo!!! All of that for 2 over nights with 4 year old twin boys!!! Not bad at all!! I redid the glider, well just the cushions!! Trust me it is nothing fancy and if you ever come to visit please do not look at the backside!!!! However, it holds up and looks good! I will have more pictures as the decorations are set in place!!!

Nutritional Goals!!!!

I hope you are not all getting tired of reading all my personal insights!! I figure if I write them all down for you to read I am held to a higher standard to uphold them!! I am contemplating what I want to do better for myself nutritionally and what will be the easiest as we have a little one coming soon!!!

1- My biggest goal for this year is to bring my lunch to work more often. I really need to cut back on how many times I eat out! I am not saying I do it all the time, however, bringing my lunch would be best for me!!

2- Drink more water!! I love to drink water but there will be days that go by and I swear I have not had as much as I should!!

3- Fruits and veggies are my friends!! I love to eat fruit but I need to do it more often!! While in Arizona I loved picking the fresh oranges from my grandpas orange tree!! Oh they were delicious!!! YUMMY!!!!

There you go!!! I am on my way!!! Brought my lunch today, I am drinking water and I have already had carrots and a banana!!

Goals For 2010

Along with the challenge posted on This and That blog site we were asked us to write down 3 goals for 2010! Personal goals, I believe 3 nutritional goals are for tomorrow! So here they are.....

1- Become organized! Not only in my personal life but with things all around me! Josh would appreciate if I could conquer this one!!!

2- Come February get back to working out!! I have motivation!!!

3- Be a better wife and friend!! This is not something I lack but it is always good to improve upon!! I think that working on this goal in particular I may lose myself in the service of others!!

I challenge you to come up with 3 personal goals!!! Let me know how it goes!!!
