Well....it didn't go as well as I'd hoped. We did lose weight, just not what we wanted. There are many excuses I could insert here, but I'll save it. We just didn't do the work! I lost only 5 pounds total. Lost some, gained some, lost it again. But I'm still hanging on to my 5 pounds! And I don't plan to gain it back, even with the impending holiday season looming around the corner! DJ probably lost about 10 pounds too. We just need to work out. That's all it comes down to. We haven't been eating badly, in fact we're pretty darn healthy! We've been shopping at Sprouts and buying mostly fresh food. It's just finding the time and energy to actually work out. The motivation is there for both of us....we want to be healthy for Nate and to be good examples for him!
Ok, enough wallowing. We can do this! And now that the weather is cooler it will be much more pleasant to go on walks. We will do it!!!
On a Nate note, he has a little cold right now, but is doing very well. He is so happy most of the time...except when you're trying to get him to sleep! I did discover that children's benedryl will knock him out, so I will use it sparingly. He does not like meat or beans right now, but we're going to keep trying. He loves all fruits and likes a few veggies. Not a big fan of peas anymore, or green beans. Oh, we went downstairs last night to hang out with our neighbors who have a little boy who is almost 11 months hold, he's a little over a month older than Nate. Their son, Sam, kept trying to sit on Nate! Nate was a good sport, and just smiled and laughed, but Mandy and Ben were mortified that their son thought our son was furniture! Sam is a sweet kid, just not used to socializing with babies smaller than him. He kept taking toys away from him too. Nate was very sweet though, I'm sure he will make lots of friends in his lifetime! Ok, back to work! Love to all!
