Friday- I already wrote about my wonderful Friday in my last blog but here it is in a nutshell; I hit my first weight loss goal!!!! I spent the day with my husband and kids at the beach, enjoyed a nice 4.48 mile walk, watched the beautiful sunset, and went bowling.
Saturday- I drove out to Pasadena and met my cousin at the Rose Bowl for a nice 3.3 mile walk. The weather was beautiful and there were lots of people walking, running, and biking around the Rose Bowl. My cousin lives in Oxnard and I live in San Bernardino so Pasadena is a 1 hour drive for us both. We use this time to walk about our weight loss journey, our lives, our dreams, the kids, our pains and disappointments, and our happiness. It has been a great thing for us both as we are both determined to change our lives and be better mothers. I look forward to our monthly meeting, I love having girl time and we have so much in common. After the walk and drive home the rest of the day was spent at home relaxing with the kids and my niece and nephew who spent the night with us.
Sunday- We woke up to the sound of our lawn mower in the backyard and kids laughing. My husband jumped up and looked out the window; our oldest daughter who is 15 was mowing the lawn and the kids were outside playing! She surprised us with the dishes being done, the front lawn done and the back yard lawn was done. She had no motive, just wanted to help us out! This is the same girl who was comforting us during our sons funerals, she's sweet, kind, and loving. We then had breakfast and spent the day chatting with my brother who's kids had spent the night. Then I got ready to go to church with the baby and my oldest who sings in the choir. The two middle ones stayed home because they were worn out! When I went to get ready I noticed that all my clothes needed to be cleaned so I grabbed a pair of pants that were hanging, I hadn't worn them since before I got pregnant so this time last year and THEY FIT!!!! I was really happy and excited that I fit into my first pair of pre-pregnancy pants. They are still not a size I'm happy about but I'm working on it! Mass was wonderful and always makes me happy.
I had a PERFECT weekend; family time, exercised (7.8 miles total), and stayed within my calories. I pray my week is awesome also! Have a great week and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
