First Pool Experience

Eddy's parents have a pool, so when we were home we decided to take E in it. We got him a floaty thing and thought he would love it. Well, after the third time trying to get him in (the first 2 he screamed..lol), he started to settle down and he eventually liked it. Baby steps..haha!!!

Ready for my weigh in!

E loves to go in our closet and find stuff. Today he found the scale. He then wanted daddy to put 1 shoe on. So silly :)

My Little Helper

So E loves playing with our Swiffer mop; so today I decided to attach a cloth to it and let him clean. He is SOOO my child!!!

Our Family

I cleaned our shoes tonight because they were gross!! Eddy laid them out and I thought it looked super cute :)

Happy Mother's Day to me!!

TPC 2013

We signed up for the players 5k and we got free tickets to Sundays match. It was hot...but there was a nice breeze. It was a nice day :)

Yummy Breakfast!

I am totally loving this way of eating (for the most part.....I miss chocolate lol an drinking endless amounts of coffee). This morning I had egg whites, fresh cut tomato, and avocado. It was delish!! I am going to try and make this during the week for breakfast.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful moms out there! I have some amazing moms in my life! My mom is awesome!! When me and my sister gave birth within 2 weeks of each other, she drove back and forth from Tallahassee and Jacksonville to be with us! She's always there and is always caring. Plus, she's an amazing cook (me and my sister talk about how we make the same thing, but it never tastes like moms). My sister is amazing mommy too!! She has 2 beautiful boys who are so sweet! Both her and my mom have taught me a lot. Eddy's mom, Suzie, has raised an incredible young man who is the best father and husband. I am fortunate to have great mother in law!!! Last but not least, my grandma. She has 3 kids, 10

grandkids and I think over 20 great grandkids!! She is the best grandma ever!! I am very lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful and strong women. They have made me who I am today :)

Best Husband Ever!!!

So I was teaching yesterday and someone knocked on the door...it was Eddy!!! He brought me flowers for teacher appreciation week and Mother's Day!!! It was so sweet!! Love him :)

My 1st Piece of Art

I went to pick up E yesterday at daycare and Christine (the woman who watches E....she's awesome!!!) handed me a card from E. It's so cute!!! I can't wait to frame it and hang it in the house.

So far so good...

Today is day 6 of clean eating. It's going well! I feel hungry more, but I'm reaching for fruit or a handful of almonds instead. I have a new love for avocados!! I eat them with almost every meal. I am still drinking caffeine (not as much...cup in the morning and half a coke zero at night). I haven't been craving sweets!!! Which is surprising for me, especially since it was teacher appreciation week and my kids brought me about 3 pounds of chocolate!!! 

I took a Pilates class Wednesday and it was sooooo hard!!! The first 30 minutes was abs and since E came, I have a mummy tummy lol. It was so hard that I wanted to leave, but since the instructor was straight insane, I was too scared too. So I stayed and I'm going back this Wednesday! I have been running too, but since its so hot, I think I'll take my running to the treadmill.

Day 2

Today was much better than yesterday. I had 1 cup of coffee in the morning with soy milk and then half of a coke zero at night. I love coffee and am trying to cut down (tried eliminating it but my headache got the better of me..lol).

 I made a yummy dinner tonight. I sautéed peppers, onions, and chicken. Halfway through I added cumin, garlic salt, and chili pepper. I put it over brown rice. I also made a fresh salsa to go on top. I cut up scallions, tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado. I squeezed some lime juice in it and mixed it. I put it on top of everything. It was yummy!!

Day 1

Day 1 was HARD!!!! I'm not gonna lie. Eating wise was okay, but I need to find more snacks to eat in between meals. As far as caffeine, oh boy. I don't know whether it was caffeine withdrawal (I normally drink about 4 cups of coffee a day and 1 diet drink..lol) or the fact that I had a sinus infection, but I had a gigantic headache. It was so bad that I was nauseous. So I gave in and had split a coke zero with the hubby. I ended up going to bed at 9:30 and woke up feeling a little better. 

I changed my diet a little--I am going to have 1 cup of coffee with soy milk and half a coke zero at night. I don't want to be miserable!

We are going clean!!

So I have been wanting to try a cleanse (where you eat only certain foods....not the one where you drink liquids only) and I struggled to find one that is doable for me and my family. We decided to do more of a "clean eating" cleanse where you eliminate caffeine and processed foods. It's mainly eating fruits, veggies, and lean meat such as chicken and fish. Today is day 1, so I will post later how it went. I am also starting the 30 day squat challenge :)

Not so little anymore!!

We can't get over how much E has grown! I feel like everyday he's doing something new. It's amazing! I feel likes he's talking a little more (saying words that somewhat resemble the real thing :)). He kind of said Mickey today and last night kind of said night night. He puts the phone up to his ear and pretends he's talking...too cute. Also, at daycare when I pick him up, he walks down the long hall laughing and gives me a huge hug. He makes me laugh everyday!

As far as food, he'll eat almost anything. Loves bananas!! He also really likes rice and beans. Tonight we have him guacamole and he loved it!!

E lately

So E has been on the move a lot lately!!! He's walking all over the place, opening doors, and getting into everything!! We started milk and he loves it!! He is great! Life is good :)
