One Holiday and Birthday down, 1 Holiday and Birthday Party to go. What a crazy week. Had a wonderful Christmas with my parents here from Florida. Nick has more toys that he even knows what to do with. Followed by more toys for his birthday. If the kid could have just waited until his Feb 11th due date he wouldnt have such an embarrassment of riches this time of year! I can't believe I have a 4 year old now:)
Lew is on vacation so we've been getting some stuff done, enjoying all the new toys with Nick and even had a date today...which happens to be the 7 year anniversary of the day we met. I was reflecting on all that has happened in that time- wow.
We went to see Marley and Me, what a tear jerker. I was a mess, I can't believe I couldnt read the book, the movie was soooo good. I tried to read it awhile back but couldnt get into it. That was the best movie I have seen in a long time. It killed me. We checked out Blue Stove at Nordstroms after. It's a tapas/wine bar and man was it good. This is my new favorite restaurant, by far. It is perfect for me, small plates with no carbs! We had crispy dark cherry glazed beef, fingerling potatoes with chorizo, lemon risotto with grilled sea scallops, and thai chicken satay with crunchy spicy peanut sauce. The chef also sent over a complimentary tapa of braised short ribs. YUMMO as Rachel Ray would say....we loved everything. Had the best wine too...every time I order something from the Paso Robles region of Cali, it is a winner.
So I was thrilled I didnt get sick from anything, as I have had a few incidents the past week with all the holiday food. I had a nice wine induced nap from 8-11pm when I got home- laid down with Nick- and now I am up and at em. I hit a new low today- I am now just 4 pounds away from my original goal weight. I still can not believe it.
I am feeling great and been doing the eliptical almost every day. I love it.
Nick and I signed up for swimming lessons today at the Y- I was so happy to find a class where you can get in the pool with them and not just drop him off as I knew that would not fly. So that will be our new winter routine, Daddy and me on Sat mornings and Swimming with Mom on Sunday mornings...a nice break for Lew and I get Sat me time.
Not much else new, looking forward to another snow storm tomorrow and heading over to our neighbors for our annual 4-8pm New Years appetizers and cocktails. Been thinking about Puerto Rico and getting excited for some fun in the sun.
Thought for the day courtesy of SugarLand- great workout song!
"I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time
I ain't settling for anything less than everything"
