Hi girls.
Wow Pam! You really have been busy! Good to hear from you again!
We are really just doing mostly the same thing everyday. School taking up most of the days. We are also supposed to get some bad weather today. According to the kids, really severe weather (I haven't seen the weather report). It is really warm out right now, like up in the 70's and that can't be good, because tomorrow it is supposed to be cold again (so the kids tell me). At least we have a basement. Let's see....my plan for the rest of the day is to finish the school day up. Finish at least 6 loads of laundry and get that put up (now back to having both washers up and running and need to start getting rid of the pile that accumulated). Supper will be chicken tenderloins and sautéed asparagus and peppers and some type of carb added in for the kids. Tonight hubby will be working on a bathroom remodel here in the house.
Hubby and the older boys have been super busy with the rental business on Saturdays getting new rentals up and running. Which has left me home on Saturdays with the littles until they get home, and then we have made Saturday nights, grocery shopping nights.
I guess there has been one kinda different thing that I have been up to.
I made up my mind back in October that I was going to try to "transform" myself into a more fit and muscular self by doing a kind of routine I have never done before. I also completely switched mine and hubby's diet, which is the biggest part of the equation. A healthier me was the foremost goal, but that happen simultaneously. I have now stuck to a 6 day a week routine for over 6 months. It has worked more that I ever thought. And...I look forward to doing it everyday. I have gone from a size 8 to a 4 and lost right at 20 pounds. The big difference is that I have never been really "muscular" before, just strong. I am really enjoying seeing the changes. Helps a little that hubby keeps asking me to flex my biceps or stomach muscles and then says, "That is too cool!" HA!
Anyway, the older kids have gotten into the habit of regular exercise too , because they want to workout when I do. So I now have a house full of big, strong boys too! Learning to eat healthy and be active everyday is something I want them to carry with them throughout life. I guess leading by example is the best way to do that!
Nothing exciting here. Just say a prayer we don't blow away. Cheryl I will be thinking of you today because it sounds like you are expecting some of the same. Bet you are glad for that storm shelter!
Stop by and chat with us.....anyone who stops by to read.
