Weekend Fun

The way the weekend worked out; you’d have thought I was on vacation! It was not a good weekend for eating right/exercising… More like a weekend with ZERO healthy food and exercise! My four older kids were home this weekend and all I wanted to do was spend time with them. How can a mom pass that up? So instead of busting my rear and getting into the gym Friday evening, Saturday morning, or Sunday afternoon; I chose to just be with my kids. Friday consisted of a late evening run to the grocery store and just chillin out with my kids. We all went to bed a lot later than usual but it was so nice! Saturday, instead of running from the moment my feet hit the floor—I woke up to realize my honey got off work early so we got some extra time in the morning together. Honey and I just celebrated our Two Years of being together! One of my sisters came to watch the kids while we had a day date! We tried a new restaurant and headed to a spot to catch the football game. It turned into one of the most relaxing days we’ve had without kids in a very long time.

Honey and I have only had TWO dates out alone without children since Cheeks was born almost a year ago! Sunday, Honey had to work so the kids and I got some chill time just watching some movies before we went outside to paint pumpkins the kids got from our pumpkin patch evening a few week ago. The kids had a great time getting their hands covered in paint—which led to being covered in paint from head to toe! How else are you supposed to hand/finger paint!? I threw together some taco soup for dinner and we all enjoyed the warmth after a nice cool fall day! Needless- to- say, the kids and I were all a little sad when bedtime rolled around and everyone had to prepare for school the next day along with early bedtimes. Overall—we enjoyed a nice weekend together and now back to the grind! 

Today was a weight check (post weekend)—Not good instead of progress a few added pounds. A slow metabolism makes it so hard to lose weight and experience more than one day of no exercise! Although I will not let it get me down! Weight naturally fluctuates anyway by 2 or 3 pounds so it’s not too big of a deal. Now to get off here and go work on that sweet and tackle all the millions of things that need to be done today before 4! Have a great week everyone!
