day [four]

on the fourth day of the 12 days of Christmas challenge/ FIRM UP THE FLAB...

i had a wonderful day! :) i've just been in the best mood lately. things are going well and the future is looking bright. i'm so excited for the big changes that i'm making happen in my life.

so i had to babysit again today. i woke up suuuuuper sleepy like i have been. i swear this not working thing makes me a lazy bum! i changed jer and made him some breakfast. i still have not been to the grocery store. :(
so i made some oatmeal and mixed in a scoop of chocolate protein powder (after cooking the oats) and one packet of truvia. it was delicious! and jeremy even liked it! :) (poor kid is gonna have protein butt so bad) haha..

after that we got ready and headed out to costco. we arrived about noon but had to leave at two at the latest. the guy said that was cutting it too close so we decided i'd come back later. i still had gone through so much effort to get jeremy ready and out of the car so we decided to stroll around costco. ps. i totally taught him how to say costco, it's awesome. he seriously makes my day. we had SO much fun looking and playing with all the toys in the store. he didn't pout when i told him we had to put it back. i had the giant mickey give him and hug and he smiled so big and proceeded to give it a big slobbery kiss. too freakin' cute! (sorry whoever buys that one).

then we left and decided to eat some lunch. i drove through mcdonalds. YIKES. i ordered the bacon ranch chicken salad with grilled chicken. the worst part was probably the dressing which i put less than a tablespoon of on because i don't really like dressing. it was good. then we had about an hour to kill until jeremy had to be at the doctor and we were already in san marcos so rather than driving home i took him to the park. we had so much fun there as well. we played on the slides, the bars, even the benches. jeremy LOVES being outside. i love taking him to do active things like that as well. he deserves it!

after the park i dropped him off and headed back to costco. i FINALLY got my tires put on. whew. then i went home to eat some dinner. remember i don't have much food so i made a BLT with turkey bacon, spring mix, roma tomato and a sandwich thin. i also had a string cheese with it. then i packed a snack of apples and peanut butter and headed over to barnes and noble to study.

which leads me to the present moment. i'm at barnes, blogging while i listen to the NASM audio chapter stuff. i'm on my second iced coffee (yikes) and plan on staying till they close at 11. i haven't gotten too much studying done tonight though. my sister came to see me, other people have been talking to me, but it's okay because i'm having a great night. as for workouts, today (obviously) was my rest day. my legs are pretty sore from yesterday! tomorrow i'll probably do an upper body workout with some cardio.

my eating was a lot better today and i'm going to the grocery store tomorrow, yay!
