Dinner went well

So We had Kendra, Kammi and Curtis over tonight to play and eat dinner. It was wonderful now that Kammi is getting a little bigger she can really play and its very cute. I enjoy our play dates once a week it nice to get to talk to someone other then Owen or Jesse.
I did horrible on my diet today :( I am at 2664 calories for the day :( pizza for dinner was a no no but I did it anyways. I am supposed to stay around 1200 calories for a day... I ate two days worth of food today:( I need to think smarter and remember I am doing this for Owen and for Jesse and for myself I want to be healthy and be able to run and play with my son!
On another not my niece shaved her eyebrows :( she was trying to shave the uni-brow she thought she had going and just went too far :( I feel so bad for her I know the pain and anxiety she must be feeling and it just breaks my heart. I am praying she goes to school tomorrow ( if her mom makes her) with a big smile and a silly story to go along with her new look... She needs to get to it before her classmates do. I hope my little angel gets through it okay!
I'm going now to get a quick work out in before bed.

Weight Loss Goals.

As of tonight I have signed up with the calorie counter its an online thing that really helps keep track of what you eat and how you work out and when. I am very excited about it! I think it will work nicely not too much not too little.
I am starting a 12 week weight loss plan. I am shooting for a 16 pound loss in that time but I would love to gain some muscle and some endorence! I am a little nervous to start, I hope I can stay away from the fatty foods that I love oh so much!
Tomorrow I start my first work out, Cardio for 21 min, I think I'll go on a walk with my doggie and maybe my boys then some strength and flexibility work for about 15 minutes. Nothing too hard for the first day we'll see how hard it gets.
As of today I weigh 131lbs I am hoping to lose the weight by the first on July... camping/hiking weather :) plus swimming yikes! I hope that everything goes well and I can really get into this plan. Fingers crossed on the blood cultures for endocarditis that were done today...Please come back negative for any infection I want to get started on my new lease on life :)

The Park

Jesse and I have been trying to get out and do something with Owen every day. The last couple days it has been the Park, At first Owen didn't really dig it, But today he was such a sweetie pie! He was smiling and laughing he loves the slide and the swing as long as the suns not in his eyes. He is just too funny with his big toothie smile. While at the park he fell and bit his lip :( He cried for maybe a minute and was totally over it and wanted to go down the slide again, He is one tough cookie! He is napping now while I'm on the computer and Jesse plays video games. I am hoping to go to star bucks and grab a mocha and play some cards.
I am not looking forward to Jesse going back to work next week I wish he could just stay home with Owen and I and we could just play and have fun...but still make money. Speaking of money Jesse and I are cutting it close this month! We have both posted on craigslist trying to get an odd job here or there but nothing yet :( I guess Jesse should get some shifts in at the restaurant then we might be able to afford having more fun!
Owen started walking last week but still hasn't really taken off, he will take like 5-10 steps and then sit down... I can't wait for him to run I think it will be so cute :) Tomorrow Kendra, Curtis and Kamryn are coming over with pizza for dinner, It should be fun and we always enjoy letting the kids play together. She is the only friend I have that understands what being a mom is all about, Well I have a few but I have known Kendra for so long we know almost everything about each other which makes it easier to hang out.
I feel like I am just rambling on and on about nothing, but this is my life, going to the park and star bucks waiting for Owen to need me in some way and being here for Jesse when he needs/wants me, My life is simple and I like It that way! Stress is a thing of the past...hopefully!
