Almost Midweek Update

Happy Tuesday!  This has been a quiet week so far in our household.  We are getting back into the routine of being back at work.  Gracie loves being back with all of her friends at daycare.  She asks for them each night, it’s really cute.  I am really happy that she loves her classroom like she does for a multitude of reasons.  My newest reason has to do with my new goals for this year.  I am going to put more of an effort into being healthier…not just loosing weight, but cooking healthier, promoting more outside activities, getting more sleep, stuff like that.  I am on day two of my gym routine after work.  Since Gracie loves being at school so much, I don’t feel guilty about her being there a little bit longer.  Matt is also giving me incentives once I reach a goal (a new movie, earrings, a pair of shoes, etc.) to help me stay motivated.  Also, we want Gracie to love the right food and to love being active.  Lately we have taken the easy way out on a lot of things, watching too much TV, eating easy snack foods, etc.  I really am focused and feel really strongly about this.  It is also a family goal, not just a personal goal.  I will keep you posted on ideas I come across or what works for us.  I think our society has become too lazy.  I miss days in Germany when we would spend all day walking around a castle or a little German town.  One of my favorites was walking around Bad Nauhiem’s park.  It was gorgeous.

Well, honestly, that is really all that is new.  Matt is feeling better so that is great.  Gracie is being Gracie, which is a lot of fun.  Have a great week and I promise to have more pictures this weekend!
