As I got older I started to appreciate having my loved ones around. When I lost my dad I started to treasure it. Now that I have kids, my life is all about family & friends. Life gets so busy you lose track of time and don't get to see everyone as often as you want and before you know it a week, month or more has gone by. So, I decided that Sunday Dinners were in order. Most of the time I will be having my mom and grandma over, this week it also included my brother and his girlfriend Kelly. I find that cooking and feeding everyone makes my week. Tonight dinner was roast beef, mashed potatoes, cauliflower au gratin and hot rolls. Ok, so this may not be helping my weight loss goals but it sure is fun to watch my grandma light up as her great granddaughter does something funny at dinner and her great grandson smiles at her. Something about having kids changes your whole outlook on life. And I am glad it has.
On the weight loss front, I took a Zumba class this week for the first time. Can you say TWO LEFT FEET? Yeah, that would be me. It is a really fun class and made me remember that I am very clumsy. When everyone turns left, I turn right. But I will go back because I have 15 pounds to lose (thank you, Lucas John) and I would rather feel clumsy than run on the treadmill.
Hannah is potty trained! YIPPEE!!!!! And it only took a few days. God, she is smart. ha ha, ok a little bragging is in order. This is BIG! And I am a proud Mama! & One less bum to change 5 times a day! She picked up much better than I had thought she would and is doing great.
Tomorrow I am making stuffed peppers, a healthy version. I shall let you know how it goes. And back to Zumba... to look like a fool.
