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.

On my birthday August 26 the day after V turned two months we went and had her portraits made and family portraits. I got a little frustrated bc she was not very happy and the girl said none of the pictures came out… Rude. We ended up having 3 great pictures; one of her and daddy, one of just her, and one family shot! It was so exciting ! Then we headed to get her shots. I fed her right when we got there and had her in the moby swaddle with her leg hanging out. She did so great and only cried for a minute. She has been perfectly fine ever since. We went to eat at Campanias with the fam for mine and Andrews birthday. Last night we had my mom and dad babysit and we had my mom and dad babysit so we could have an evening by ourselves. David is out of town for a week and then we are off to McAllen for a few days so V can see her other favorite Grandma, Grandmama G!
