Back to Reality

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! I had a very lazy one! But I did enjoy spending time with my family without being on a schedule. However, I did eat way too much yesterday. We went to Golden Corral for breakfast. We were so full that we opted to skip lunch. We came home and took naps and I got to sit on the sofa while everyone was still napping and read three entire magazines! It was awesome. I love reading magazines, but I never get a chance with all the busy-ness during the week. After everyone was up, my fiance took the kids to the park so that I could log on and do my research paper writing webinar. Fun, huh? And on Mother's Day too! Once I was finished, I joined them at the park for a bit and then we came back, got cleaned up and went out to eat again! This time it was CiCi's Pizza. It was not too busy and very cheap. Then we came back home and kids got a bath, then we went to bed. It was a pretty good day. I hope everyone's day was as fun as they wanted it to be.

So now it's Monday and it's back to reality. Since I opted not to clean up yesterday, the house is a mess and I've got to get control of that today. Dishes must be done and floors must be vacuumed. Ah, back to being a normal mom again. I did get up today and do the one mile walk again from Leslie Sansone. Definitely got my heart rate up. The fact that the one mile walks are only 11-15 minutes, depending on which one you do, really helps get me motivated to do it. I feel like this is something I can actually do a couple times a day. I will probably try to read my magazines again today. Some of them had some super good information in them about premenopause, hormonal imbalances and natural ways to try to shift them to see if that is your problem. I may have some sort of hormonal issue, so I might try them out if they are not too expensive. Someone had left the newest issue of Good Housekeeping on the trash can outside, so I grabbed it yesterday. It was a pretty good issue and it has tons of awesome recipes for lower calorie meals. Of course they look delicious in the magazine, but we'll see if they look and taste so delicious when I make them! Well, it is time to get the kiddos up soon. I hope everyone has a great day!
