Day 26/33

Eating: 1981 calories

Exercise: None really. :-/ I hate it when I barely make it to the gym during the week, but this week was a bit busy with all kinds of running around, errands, and so forth.  At lest it wasn't out of sheer laziness. :-p
Food after 8PM? I got a bit hungry when I went to bed so I had a sandwich.

Bed by 10PM?Yep.

Day 25/33

Eating: 2540 calories

Exercise: shopping at KMart for our Christmas layaway...does that count? :) It was pretty wearing.

Food after 8PM? Nope.

Bed by 10PM? Yep. I love it when the time "falls back", but it still takes me a bit to readjust.

Day 24/33

Only 9 more days before my weigh in! I'm getting excited!

Eating: 1992 calories! :-D Not bad since yesterday was my grandma's birthday and we all had dinner, cake and ice cream at my house! Then again, we ran out of cake so I didn't get any which was perfectly fine with me! I was thrilled not to have all the leftover temptation!

Exercise: Nope, had so much running around to do so at least I wasn't just being lazy.

Food after 8PM? a bowl of cereal

Bed by 10PM? Yep.

Day 22 & 23/33

Eating: Monday, 3408 calories (I have decided NO MORE BAKING unless I am going to a social function where I know it will all be eaten by people other than myself! If it's in the house I'm going to eat it. It's just a fact so if it's not in the house then I should be just fine.) Tuesday, 1877 (ah, much better)

Exercise: The day before yesterday there was no exercise, but last night I went to the gym and ran two miles and rode over 6 miles on the bike! Felt awesome!

Food after 8PM? The night before last I didn't eat after 8. I finished dinner around 8:30 last night. The kids went to bed later than usual so I ate later. When the kids eat I'm usually not hungry which is why I don't eat usually until after they go to bed.

Bed by 10PM? The night before I fell asleep around 9:30..I was so sleepy! Last night I went to bed a little after 10.

By the way, I figured out that Blogger wasn't being stupid.  It was just me...I had the compose page on "edit HTML" instead of just "compose" Ooops. Oh, well. At least it's not the website. :)

Week in Review #11

Yep, I'm a little late in posting this. I guess this is more of a review of what's going with all of us rather than just what we're doing for homeschooling. For some reason, Blogger is being stupid about posting pictures so this post might seem a little bland. :-p

Last week for school consisted of a lot of review. It seemed we needed to stop with everything and just review, which was perfectly fine.  No sense in moving on to the next lesson when Hannah has yet to grasp what we just did. She read a lot of her little readers, did lots of addition problems, and wrote lots of spelling words. Hannah is reading her readers with words she supposedly hasn't learned yet, but she just sounds it out like she's been doing it her whole life. :) I'm so proud! We also made it to the library for the first time in two weeks. I don't think since early summer we went that long without going to the library. Pretty strange. It felt good to get out of the house and do something productive. The girls sure love those puzzles. I would want some for the house, but it would just be me keeping up with all the pieces and becoming totally OCD over it. :-p We'll just leave the puzzling for library time.

Ryan's new job is still going swimmingly. As always we are most anxious for the lease to be up and get moved! At least Ryan is able to come up here every weekend. That's always quite lovely. Monday morning he went to Fort Campbell for the review on his medical retirement to see if his condition has improved or stayed the same to determine what percentage we receive from the VA. There's a very very very slight chance they could even see him fit for duty and generate orders for active duty! I just leave it all in God's hands. What else can we do?

Autumn has officially started potty training. I suppose it's going so-so. She's used her potty twice so far and peed on the floor about four times. I'm have serious deja vu from when I was potty training Hannah, mopping up the carpet and chasing her around the house when she's wearing underwear to make sure there are no massive accidents on the floor. Good news is that Autumn is all about sitting on her potty and is very excited about wearing pull ups and all that fun stuff. Hopefully it will take a little less than the 11 months it took with Hannah!

Annual Check Ups

Yep, I'm a little behind in getting the girls' well-child check ups. With Hannah being homeschooled I didn't feel quite the same pressure to make sure her immunizations were immediately up to date. :-p

Our appts were on Monday and both girls are perfect, as I figured. ;) Hannah came in at 3'8 and 41 lbs. Autumn was at 2'10 and 29 lbs. Autumn was missing a hepatitis shot and they were both due for flu shots so we went to Fort Campbell on Tuesday. I didn't go on Monday since I didn't know how long it would since it was in the middle of the afternoon. But going first thing in the morning yesterday was perfect! No one else at at the immunization clinic! :D Autumn was too young for the flu mist so she had to get two shots. :( Hannah got the mist. Autumn only cried for a minute after her shots. I was so proud of her. Definitely one of the most painless experiences with shots I've had.

Day 21/33

Eating: 2375 calories

Exercise: ran 3 miles at the gym. felt amazing!

Food after 8PM? Nope!

Bed by 10PM? Oh, yeah! Even with Ryan in town I still managed to catch up on my word count for Nano and get to bed at a decent hour!
