Conversation #92: Do Better Mondays

So I’m not signed up for a Weight Watchers subscription anymore, but I still track my points in the little book each day and bought the point companion books and calculator and I may do this for the rest of my life. I’m sure at some point it will become second nature.

Anyway, I figure I shouldn’t call it a Weight Watchers update anymore because I will at some point get these last 3.5 pesky pounds off and reach my goal. However, I still want to track my goals to healthy living to hold me accountable.

On Sundays before church I’ll watch Fox News and they have a segment with Dr. Rosenfeld. He always gives a health tip to start the week off right and do better this week than last. That kind of stuck with me one week (no tip in particular, just that I can start the week over and do better). My WW week starts on Sunday so I figure Monday is a good day to write my goals for the week. Also, I have a bachelorette party weekend coming on Friday so I won’t to make sure and be good this week so I can splurge on Saturday.

My goals for the week:

I stepped up to level 3 of The Shred this week so keep doing that each morning (today through Friday).

Incorporate more dairy into my food this week – I used to drink a ton of milk but cut back on Weight Watchers. Now I want to incorporate it back in because I know it is important. Therefore, I need to get better at giving up some of my little treats during the day. It is all about priorities baby!

Finally, I hope to lose 1 pound this week (okay really 2, but I’m trying to be realistic with a bachelorette party coming up).

So, what are you going to do better this week?

A Conversation about Absenteeism

Wow! It has been too long. I have still kept up on reading everyone’s blogs, but commenting and writing have been out the window for me. I have thought often about blog topics, and I’ll try to get back on regular posts tomorrow. Basically, the last few weeks have been full of preparing for this past Saturday. What was this past Saturday, you may ask? My incredibly intelligent and amazing husband graduated from law school!!!!!!!!! I can hardly contain my excitement. I am proud beyond words, and now we just have one last hurdle: the bar exam. I know the next two and half months will still be full of study, but it still doesn’t squash my excitement of no more late night classes, missed parties, or tension filled finals weeks. We are done! I only say “we” because it is definitely a path that affects both the student and family, but trust me, the hubby did ALL the work! Needless to say though, we had lots of family in town...

Conversation #19: A blast from the past – Monday Movie Review

Ever since the hubby and I ended our blockbuster subscription, we have really not watched too many movies. Honestly, he has been so busy that we just haven’t had the time. However, my amazing in-laws have been entertaining me during this bar exam review time, and we went to see the Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Saturday. (Picture from here .) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was exciting and thrilling, and in my opinion, I’m not sure I would take a really young child to it (maybe 10 and older…) It kept my attention, and I don’t think that it drug on too long either. Sometimes I think these epic type movies go on and on and on, but this ended at a nice time, and it had the most adorable bulldog in the cast, too! I definitely recommend it! (Picture from here .) We also recently watched The Paper Chase . I guess this movie itself is kind of blast from the past – 1973 to be exact. Our neighbor actually dropped it in our mailbox as ...

A Conversation about Babies

(Picture from here .) I think everyone I know has just had a baby, is going to have a baby, or wants to have a baby! Is there something wrong with me? I want children, with my whole heart. I really look forward to being a mom someday and more and more I hope to be able to stay home with my children. The thing is, I can wait right now. I don’t have baby fever. I feel too young. I’m only 25 – how could I possibly know how to care for a child yet; I can barely take care of my husband, dog, and me. I guess what I’m wondering is should that itch be there? Should I be craving to be a mother? Does this mean my maternal instincts are off? I just feel like an older (and hopefully more mature and less selfish) version of me would make a better mother. Plus, the husband isn’t even out of law school yet! I think about my future children: their looks, personality. In my dreams I love being pregnant (I hope that is true, but the labor part still terrifies me). I know I’ll love sewing l...
