Weekly Wrap Up

Saturday:


-We had "Family Movie Night" tonight and watched Rio. It was a cute movie and Caleb really enjoyed it. The only problem with movie night is that Caleb doesn't quite grasp the concept of "renting" and we have sadness and big alligator tears when it comes time to return it.


Monday:


-Caleb was having bad dreams last night and I kept waking up with him standing next to me staring at me (which kept scaring the crap out of me). This morning he told me that he was dreaming that an Ostrich got into our house and was standing by his clock. He also told me that he couldn't sleep because the dreams were in his eyes. I thought that was an interesting way to describe a dream. And I don't know where the scary ostrich came from. Maybe we're watching too much discovery channel? lol
-I did day 1 of P90X this morning. I was going to work up to it with my other workouts but Clayton thought I should just give it a try now and I decided it was worth a shot. Today was chest & back - which means I'm probably not going to be able to move tomorrow. I also did the 15 minute ab video and it was so challenging that I couldn't even do ONE of some of the moves. These people in the video must be like mutant muscle machines... or they definitely haven't had a baby in the past year. It's ok though. I will do better next time. :)

Tuesday:

-Today I had my HSG test for the Essure procedure I had done 3 months ago. The HSG test is basically a dye test with x-ray equipment to make sure the procedure worked and the tubes are blocked. Unfortunately for me, my test failed. :( My left tube is completely blocked, but my right tube leaked the dye. This means I have to go back in another 3 months for an additional test. This is a major bummer because: 1. It will be after the 1st of the year, so we'll have to pay %100 of the cost. Ouch! 2. The test was incredibly uncomfortable and somewhat painful. 3. If it fails a second time, the whole procedure was a waste and we'll have to look into other long term options. Boo! The doctor said that she's only seen the first test fail a couple of times (lucky me), and in the entire Tri-state area, the second test has never failed. But... it has happened in other areas, so it is a possibility. :/

-For p90x, we did the Plyometrics dvd today. This is rumored to be one of the toughest dvd's to get through. It's like cardio routine on steroids. Lots and LOTS of jumping. It's an hour long and neither Clayton or I made it all the way through. However, I would like it to go on record that I lasted a whole EIGHT minutes longer than Clayton did. The bragging rights alone were worth all 30 minutes of torture. :D

Wednesday:

-Caleb got his first Pez dispenser tonight. He picked it out himself - it's a semi-truck. And he was SO excited about it. It really is the little things in life.

-Owen woke up before I could finish my workout today. I still had the 16 minute ab dvd to go. He sat on the mat next to me and laughed at me and tried to bend himself in half the whole time. I think he was working on his abs too. :)

-Today I hit 4 weeks of eating healthy and 2 weeks of working out. I'm down about 7 lbs so far and feeling great. Clayton and I also started the nutrition plan that goes along with p90x this week. It actually requires me to eat quite a bit more calories than I have been these past 4 weeks, and a LOT of protein. It's definitely a huge commitment to stick with it, but I'm determined to do it. Looking at my progress photos from the past 4 weeks is all the motivation I need! ha! (No, I won't be positing them!). At any rate, it's nice to have Clayton as a partner for all this. We're keeping each other encouraged (and even competing a bit! lol). 

Thursday:

-I was dressed in a trendy new outfit getting ready for a photo shoot this evening. With my new outfit on, I was feeling pretty hip and cool, but apparently I needed brought back down to earth. The tank I had on underneath my shirt hung down lower in the back and Caleb tugged on the part hanging down and said enthusiastically, "This is so you can FLY, Mom!" Aaaaaanndddd.... maybe I can't pull off trendy after all. lol

-Both boys seem to be coming down with colds again. *sigh* We just barely got over colds a couple of weeks ago. I'm really not ready for this all over again.
