DIET

It's time for this gordita
To start resembling this mamsita:) 

Where I'm going to have to stop eating so much ice cream as featured in photo 1and start eating  a lot more fruits
and veggies. 
I know it's silly to start eating healthy RIGHT before Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I'm just ready. I've been ready for a while but Pete has Lap-band surgery tomorrow so I figured I'd wait it out so we can do it together. So starting tomorrow I will be deprived from all the sweet things in life. I must admit that this past year and a half have been quite refreshing. It seems like forever I never thought I was skinny enough and was always watching calories and worrying about exercising. I threw all that out the window and ate whatever, whenever and wherever I wanted and it was fun. Now 50 pounds LATER it's time to get back on track. I must add that I did have a baby so this is not all my fault, but mostly. And I pretty much hate all you skinny people who can eat whatever you stinkin want and not gain a pound. I think that I have learned a lesson though and that's to be happy whatever size I am. I look back on my pictures where I thought I was so huge and think, wow I looked great. Why couldn't I see that then? I blame Satan. I don't have a goal, which may be a bad idea. I just want to start adapting a healthy lifestyle and it all starts tomorrow.

Ah thats great to start healthy eating. I am trying to cut sugar right now and it is hard because that means no cheesecake ):
I would love to try the solo you think is easy but I would also like it better if we could find a duet instead. Keep looking! I will try the ball on string thing, but would like to watch you do it too! Maybe I will do some searching on the internet for duets, I would consider buying some sheet music for a beautiful piece.

Hooray! I have been struggling with my healthy eating goal for a while. You have given me a renewed motivation. Maybe we can swap recipes.

Good for you! I cut out sugar last week too - and I may be going through withdrawals, but I gained too much on Halloween candy (primarily candy corn) and can't keep on this track through the holidays! Maybe we can help motivate each other!!!

Sundays and evenings should be fine for me too. Just waiting for my new strings. If you have trouble finding sheet music there is always the hymn book. We could mess around with the alto and tenor lines for harmony.

Hey Amelia, it's Amanda White, I just found your blog and wanted to say Hi. Let me tell you, I am addicted to ice cream! I love that I'm pregnant now, but I'll be paying for it later, especially with the holidays coming up. I think I gained 5 pounds just from Halloween.

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.

December

There are a lot of words that could be used to describe 2020. Unpredictable, scary, death, political insanity, isolation, divisive, racial inequality, quarantine, masks etc. etc. It was really rough for us around June-October when we had no idea whether or not Elliott would have a job. Thankfully we were one of the lucky ones that didn't get furloughed. Financially speaking our biggest hit was that overtime was cut. We had big plans of paying off a lot of debt from law school and going on our first family trip to Disneyworld. Without that overtime we make about $2,000 less a month and it's quite a hit, but we are making it work. We canceled our Disneyworld trip and are living paycheck to paycheck but had Elliott been furloughed for an undermined amount of time I don't know what we would have done. I know there are many families in that situation and I wish we were in a position to offer some assistance instead of treading water. I feel very blessed and fortunate for where w...
