Will has been putting words together recently. My favorite phrase he picked up this week is "I Yuv You!" Before I would say "Will, I love you do you love me?" He would always answer by saying "Yeah!" but then earlier this week he actually said it back to me. It definitely melted my heart. He also says "where did it go?" He thinks that is a fun game to play. If he has something he is playing with and we are around he will "hide" it and say this.
We haven't taken him to any of the K-State Basketball games yet but I know he is going to LOVE it when we get a chance to. He picks out a Power cat ANYWHERE! If it’s on clothes, a water tower, a jar of salsa in the fridge, you get the idea. He is definitely his daddy's boy and lovin some K-State Wildcats! We have a wildcat on our tree and he reminds me frequently that "K-State" is hanging there. He has surprisingly left the tree alone. He really likes some of the stuffed animals we keep under there until it fills up with gifts so he must be preoccupied.
In other news, I actually met my goal already. If you have read previously I wanted to lose about 12 pounds by January 6th. Today on this fabulous day I weighed in and was excited to see it read 125! That means I averaged about 3lb loss per week. I have had so much energy lately and really feel great. Now I plan to tone up and make a goal to drink more water. Since watching what I eat I noticed that I hardly ever drink anything! No soda, juice, milk, nothing. I do make sure to get my morning coffee though!
Way to go on already meeting your goal!! I have been working out but not starting the diet till after New Years. What do you do work out wise? I feel like I leave the rec not feeling like I did anything! I'm not a runner so I think that's my problem. I can do the elliptical for 2 miles then I get bored!
ReplyDeleteI only run and do crunches. I would love to do more but that alone takes a lot of time. I know what you mean about getting bored because I have had to start running on a treadmill mainly because I'm too chicken to run in the dark (cold to me is actually nice) but I will typically put in about 37 min/4miles about 2 times per week and then a longer run, like 6 miles, in the middle of the week, and ideally 8-10 miles on either Saturday or Sunday. Lately I've been lucky to fit in 2 week runs and a 6-8mile weekend run though. I think milleage isn't as important as length of time spent. I have also heard from my MIL that elliptical burns more calories. So, I bet if you keep that up and incoorporate the diet change you will see the results you are wanting. I know too that there is definately a plateau to get over with a cardio workout. For me once I get through 2-3 miles I am smooth sailing. So I say go a little further and your competative drive will kick in and get you through the next couple of miles/min. Another thing that keeps me going is training for something other than weightloss (for me that was dissapointing because for so long I wasn't getting results.) Find a 5k or 10K and use that as your goal instead. I could go on and on about this topic but I will save you from my ramblings! PS Harper is a shuch a cutie! Congrats to you and all of your family. What a big weekend it has been for you all!?!
