Busy, busy, busy
Well it was a very busy day yesterday and Grace did not really want to nap too much. I have been having a pretty good week, not perfect but it's getting there. We are going to start packing for the weekend tonight and then I can do the laundry we need done tomorrow and hopefully we will get away as planned *fingers crossed*.
I am planning on taking everything I will need for breakfasts and probably lunches too so we won't have to eat out too much while we are there. There is not alot of choice in Oliver and what is there is not the greatest. Alot of little diners and then some fast food. I am going to the Italian deli on Thursday to get some meats, cheese and buns so we can make lunch on the road and then I'll get some extra for in the room. I am really looking forward to getting into the fruit stands and all the amazing fresh fruit from the okanagan =) mmmmmm!!!!!!

Weekends
Weekends are too short! I know I don't work right now but is so nice to have that extra time as a family. Yvon has been working so hard that he is bagged in the evening. I just love those 2 days of us time. I have realized that part of a balanced life is some time alone, just the 2 of us. Even if we just sit alone while Grace is napping, it's so nice.
So, I got on the scale this morning and I was 175.3, a loss of 1.1 pounds! I thought it was going to be better but I over ate a bit this weekend and it showed. Oh well, atleast I got most of the week right =) I am a little nervous about our trip to Oliver this weekend. Yvon and I think we have the driving schedule figured out and we should be able to keep Grace happy. As far as babies go she is great but it's a long time in the car for her. We are going to try and take nice long breaks for her and it'll be relaxing for us too. I am concerned about keeping Grace cool and hydrated. Since she is only 3 months old they don't recommend giving her any water. I have been freezing alot of my milk lately and hopefully I will have enough that I can get a bit of a break and keep her happy. Fingers crossed =)
So today I was very happy with my loss and like an idiot I celebrated with McDonalds? Really...what was I thinking? Well it's over now and it tasted great. I need to move on from this and not let it get in the way of eating well for the rest of the week. I can't believe July is almost over.....what is the plan for August?

Fat Burger...mmmmm
So yesterday I had Fat Burger and it was amazing! I think if I ate there often I would be huge and die of a heart attack. I felt pretty gross after eating my burger and was greatfull for the walk back to my brothers. It wasn't the longest walk but it helped =) I did not make the best choices throughout the day but I didn't make the worst either.
It was so nice being downtown yesterday. It was much warmer there then it was when I left the house so I was stripping off mine and Gracie's jackets. When we were out I had to use the mothers room in the mall to nurse and change her. It is amazing to me what some people view as okay. This room has glass walls so everyone can see you, I try and be discreet as I don't want to show everyone my boobs! Some small children were watching me through the window wondering what the room was, their mom explained and then let them come in and look at me. She would tell them not to bother me but it is a small room and it got pretty crowded with the 6 spectators...if you don't need the room then get out! I am also amazed at how rude people can be on an elevator, since Grace is only 3 months I have to always take an elevator as obviously she can't go on the escalators, I got the rudest snear and sound from an eldderly man and his wife who were on the elevator when I got on. There were only the 2 of them on there and they seemed pissed that I made them move over so I could get on....like I should have waited for the next one so they could have it to themselves. I try and be polite about getting around and what not with a stroller but really there aren't alot of things I can do to change the size or shape to better accommodate spaces, so I just feel like instead of being polite and nicely asking people to move so I can get past without hitting them I should just hit them and they might understand more!
Vent over....today will be a good day. We are going out with my mom and then off to dinner at the inlaws with some family friends who want to see Grace. Have a great Friday!

Good Friends and Good Food
Last night 3 of our friends stopped by to see how Grace is growing =) They brought dinner with them and it was amazing. I had suggested ordering pizza as it was easy and no work for any of us but one of the girls had just been at the gym and didn't want to go backwards! She suggested they stop at Safeway and pick up roasted chicken, salad and some garlic bread, it was perfect! We sat on the patio until 9:30 and it was great. Grace was so pooped after all her visitors she slept until 9!
Today we are going to go downtown for a bit and then off to my brothers to meet up with the family for dinner. Tonight will not be good as I think we are going to Fat Burger. Well it will be good but not for trying to eat right, I just have to make sure I make good choices during the day and then I will enjoy my burger =) We are going to walk there so that should help!
I am feeling like I have found a much better space in my head right now, somewhere that I am not obsessing about what I am doing and what I need to do. It's not all about the scale, it is about making good choices!

Good Days
The weather is just amazing, I am loving all of this sun. It's a bit warm for Grace but she is doing good and the air conditioner is really helping...all of us! My sweet little angle is still sleeping a minimum of 8 hours per night and she is only 3 months old! She is so amazing!
So I got on the scale this morning...I know I shouldn't, I should only weigh myself once a week but sometimes I just can't help it! And I was happy to see that paying attention is actually working...I was already down almost 1 pound =) If I stick with it I should be able to do this. I am not trying to restrict myself too much, just everything in moderation.
I got out for a really nice long walk this morning and I think I am going to try and do the reverse tomorrow (a little more hilly the other way). I have to make sure I do it early because it is getting really hot during the day again. Well that's all for now, have a good day =)
