So somehow I haven't written in here in 2 weeks! Wow. Ok so the boys and I visited my parents again and had a blast as usual. We took them for walks, went to the park and even just had fun playing on their huge back porch which I particularly enjoy because we don't have one at my house and it is so peaceful sitting back there enjoying the sunshine and hearing lots of birds chirping. Going there totally refreshed me and made me feel less annoyed with my daily life. I was sad to leave though cuz we usually stay 3-4 days and this time we could only stay 2 because my husband dropped us off. I was actually almost in tears to leave that soon lol. It really makes me sad that we don't live closer. I love hanging out with my mom. She's so fun and interesting :) I am thinking of visiting again soon. Oh and one good thing is that I didn't overeat while I was there. I counted my calories and exercised thank goodness.
I have been hovering around the same weight for a while (167ish) and I am really hoping I can finally break into the 150's by June 1st. I have been taking the kids for lots of walks and buying lots more veggies and I feel great. I have been eating a ton of peppers lately. Red, yellow and orange ones. The funny thing is that Cody is such a food scammer, always wanting my food, so lately he has been eating a lot of peppers and celery and carrots too. It's great! I am going to keep it up and buy a ton of veggies when I grocery shop on Friday. I also cut up sweet potatoes, white potatoes and carrots regularly and wrap them in foil and put them in the oven and that's a delicious veggie mix for me and the boys to eat for a few days with some chicken. I don't know why I didn't make that before. It's so simple!
Miles is FINALLY starting to get a bit easier now that he is 9 months old. Omg seriously this kid has been challenging to say the least. But now I put a ton of table food on his tray and he spends half an hour devouring it with no issues. During this time I either eat too or clean the kitchen. He also loves sitting on the floor and playing with toys, usually for a long time. He likes to play with big kid toys like this big boat and truck of Cody's rather than baby toys. And if he is being fussy and clingy I usually will take the kids for a walk and he is a dream in the stroller, so quiet and relaxed, just taking everything in. Or we go to the park where he loves the swing or just sitting and munching on a cracker. Oh and in the last few days he is finally having long naps again. At night he can still be up up to 4 times but it's manageable. We'll get there lol.
It's so nice to take the kids outside and not have to bundle them up! So so awesome! I even had shorts on the other day. Then we got to the park and I remembered I hadn't shaved my legs in two months. Whoops lol. So yeah, we are definitely enjoying the spring these days!
