Day Number 2

WHAT NOW DADDY-O


Yesterday was a successful day. I managed to strike a few off my list
1) Get dressed/makeup/hair done
2) Cook dinner
3) Read a book (that isn’t a girly gossip book)
4) Workout…YOGA!
5) Lose 20 lbs this year well I’m on my way =)
6) Whiter teeth I brushed my teeth again after drinking coffee

The stuffed mushroom and wild rice pork tenderloin, steamed veggies, and brown rice turned out wonderful, if I do say so myself. David, as picky as he is, even enjoyed it. I made him a grilled cheese to fill him up a little more because he is a man =)

Yoga was awesome. I went to Hot Yoga at Sunstone Yoga. I was a little bummed because they changed the schedule. I thought it was a water class which is where there is no teacher talking but rather a cd that talks in a really subdued voice the lights are off and there are candles around the room. It ended up being an introductory class where they were introducing all of the students to Sunstone for their very first time. The teacher talked about yoga procedures. It was actually nice to hear because even after all the times I’ve been there some of the stuff I did not know. We did poses for the last 45 minutes and even in that short time it kicked my butt. I woke up super sore. It’s so funny being in that studio. For the first time I realized why I like yoga so much. It’s like an adult non-stage performing dance studio. I would much rather go to a class than do it on my own because I like for the teacher to watch and correct me. I always loved to have the teacher correct me when I was a dance student too.

When I got home David and I watched our favorite show SECRET LIFE OF AN AMERICAN TEENAGER and then I watched Make It or Break It…which is one of my favorites. We ended up staying up until 1AM which is fine because I am working from 1-8 so I can rest this morning, but it’s bad because I still have to take care of Valentine 😉 So I think I am going to try either cutting out some of my shows or recording them and either watching them on the weekends or during the day when Valentine is napping. I sleep way more now than I ever have in my life and I need to keep that up so that I stay healthy.

I am going to try this…don’t hold me to it because I’m not really counting on accomplishing this goal…i am starting small…between now and next Tuesday I am not going to have another Starbucks (I already had one this morning) I don’t think it’s really giving up the drink that is hard, but that is just something Valentine and I have done for a little outing. Kind of a break in the day. And don’t judge me either because it’s a $2.00 drink and that is like the only thing I spend money on.

Anyway tonight I am doing chicken breast, yellow and red bell peppers, and onions in the crock pot with steamed broccoli and some brown rice! This new cooking thing is so fun!

The start of a motivated me.

I am feeling very motivated with the new year starting. David and I set a few goals for ourselves last night and mine are as follows;

1) Get dressed/makeup/hair done more often
2) Cook dinner at least 3x a week
3) Read a book (that isn’t a girly gossip book)
4) Workout…YOGA!
5) Lose 20 lbs this year
6) Whiter teeth

This morning I set my alarm for 7 because I want to start waking up before Valentine so I can have some time to myself to relax, maybe have some God time, shower, etc…but I set my phone on snooze and slept until 8.30, when Valentine has been waking up. I thought well my first intentions of today didn’t happen as planned so lets get a move on and start pressing forward. I fed Valentine and we headed off to the store to buy some yummy food! I got my Starbucks Americano with half&half and hazelnut and was on my way. This really goes against #’s 5&6, but it is really something I look forward to the second I open my eyes! I went to Whole Foods and had so much fun. I thought to myself ‘I could wake up and come here every day’, but yea that is not really something I’m interested in. Here is what my cart contained:

-Mahi Mahi
-Salmon
-Chicken Breast
-Wild Rice Stuffed Pork Loin

-Broccoli Florets
-Green Peas
-Sweet Potatoes
-Green beans with carrots
-Baby Carrots
-Orange and red Bell Peppers

-Loaf of bread

-Bags of Salad
-Lemons
-Garlic Vinaigrette

I am so excited. Tonight we are having the Pork Tenderloin, Green beans, and Mashed Potatoes. I am not a very experienced cook, so tomorrow I will let you know how our meal turned out.

Valentine is going to go down for a nap in about 15 minutes and I am going to do a little work out on TV.

I mean it really is a great day.
