March Goals

Before I get into my goals for March, let's recap how I did with February's:

1. Lose 3 pounds. Well, I got the 3 pounds right, but instead of losing 3, I gained 3 (well, 2.8). But I've already re-lost 2.6 of that since Monday. I had fallen of the Intermittent Fasting wagon as of late as well as just any weight loss effort at all, but I finally got back on track this week.

2. Finish books #2 and #3 and read #4. Did this.

3. More exercise. I think I did a little more than usual, but still not as much as I'd like.

4. Purge and organize two more areas. I kind of forgot this was a goal for the month. I knew it was on my running project list, but forgot I had made this goal for February.

5. Get our new mirrors and curtains hung in the living and dining rooms. We got the living room curtains hung, but not the mirrors or the dining room curtains. On the list for this weekend.

Now on to March:

1. Lose 5 pounds. Like I said above, I've already lost 2.6 since the 1st so I'm well on my way, but what usually happens in any given month is I will lose 3 or 4 pounds by the middle of the month and gain most or all of it back by the end for a net loss of 0 or maybe 0.4.

2. Finish books #5 (audiobook) and #6 and read #7.

3. Post on this blog 10 times.

That's really about it. I still have the purging project to work on and some other things, but that's it for official goals.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls. Sophomores. I can't believe we only have two more of these. Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off. Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done. Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year. The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation. Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go. Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week: A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids? I am very blessed to be a SAHM. Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00. Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc. Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00. We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.). If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
