Update on New Lifestyle....

Ok, so it has a week and a half now and DJ and I have been eating really well. The "diet" part of our new lifestyle is working out great! I'm not going to lie and say that we have cut out all of the sugar and processed food...but we have cut out the majority of it! And you just have to treat yourself every once in a while, right? Well, these two food-lovers do!

As for the "working out" part of our lifestyle change: not so good. We are TRYING to get some kind of work out in as often as possible. But with our hectic schedules and this awful summer heat, it's been a challenge to say the least! We just can't subject Nate to the treacherous heat every day...his body temp skyrockets just like mine and after only a minute or two he's covered in sweat. So walking in this heat is out of the question as long as it's in the 100's. I lost 3 pounds the first week...probably mostly from cutting out the majority of my daily sodas and drinking a lot of water. DJ is doing well too, although we're not sure exactly how many pounds he's lost because our scale at home is too unreliable. (I get to use a scale at work that is more reliable.) Hopefully I will have lost a couple of pounds this week as well. We both feel better, so I guess that's all that matters, right? Anyways, that's what's going on in our world!

Nate is back at the babysitter's, and is doing great! He's got one tooth on the bottom that REALLY wants to pop out, but it's not quite there yet. He does get a little fussy in the evenings sometimes and I just assume it is from teething pains. We've got some teething tablets that seem to give him some relief. And if he's really fussy, we give him a dose of tylenol and that seems to work well too. Oh, and the big boy is quickly outgrowing his 6-9 month clothes and getting into his 9-12 month stuff! I'm about to have to clean out the drawers to make room for the new size! Tomorrow he turns 8 months....WOW! Time is going by way too quickly. Love to you all! :)
