Today is my Husband's birthday. I am not very good at getting gifts. I mean, if I see something that jumps out and says "this would be perfect for ..." Then of course I'll get it, but then I give it right away. Kids - now that's a different story, gotta bring the gift to the party. Still, I usually buy it on the way. But I'm learning. Especially after weekends like this past one - 3 birthday parties!
Kaboodle.com - this is a sight that may help to make gifting easier. I just haven't made the time to really get into it.
As for my Husband - we'll just let today be his special day.
I will make a special dinner. He bought a roast the other day and I think that is what he wants. I have Paula Deen's recipe for crockpot roast, but I think I will just use some Lipton Onion soup mix. I don't put in the veggies. I'll cook those later. I think they get too mushy in the crockpot. And aren't they better for you if they are just lightly steamed? I did not get cake, but you can see from My Food Diary that I had a bunch of sugar today anyway. I drank all of my water - 12 cups.
We have a water playdate this morning. First, I have to run to the store to get the soup mix. May as well pick up some watermelon and cookies to take along. Drop Abby at the playdate and scoot off to a SHADE house party to pick out a couple of tops, munch a few snacks and chat with other Moms about our kids and my other favorite topics Advocare, Omegas, Fiber, Spark & Slam.
Now I can go back and enjoy the playdate. A little plastic pool, watermelon, goldfish crackers, sunscreen, mudpies, kittens. This is a great day!
We still have ballet and then tumbling this evening. We'll be out for awhile. I have to be sure to grab good snacks and water for both of us.
That is the challenge, planning meals and snacks and having water on hand. Commit2Fit really has helped me to be more aware. I like that it is happening slowly. I know about the upcoming Life Habits. I am excited about them because I know that we will all get great results by following them. But I still am trying to do this one week at a time and not get overwhelmed.
