Monday, Monday

Another Monday, and my second week back at work. On Thursday, I gave up the liquid diet and switched to Weight Watchers' new Core plan. So far, I have been doing great on it, and I am feeling so much better. I am now back to using my own scale at home to weigh myself, at least until I join meetings and get weighed in at Weight Watchers. So here are my stats AGAIN based on my scale at home.

Thursday, May 5th (when I started the liquid diet): 197
Monday, May 23rd: 188

I made it to step aerobics at 7:45 a.m. on Saturday morning, and I hope to make it again tonight after work. I am really enjoying it and the workout can't be beat!

I think Ethan might be coming down with a cold or some kind of viral infection. It wouldn't surprise me since he's been in daycare 2 weeks now. He was super fussy all weekend long, and he was running a fever yesterday. He has been sleeping a lot too. He didn't have a fever this morning, so we'll see what the day brings. I wonder if I will get a call from daycare that I need to come get him? I tried him in a Snugli this weekend for the first time. Joe and I went to the mall, and we put him in it. He thought it was so cool that he could look all around and still be close to Mommy, but when he got tired, it took him awhile to figure out that he could lay his head down on me and go to sleep.

My parents might be coming to visit from Florida this weekend. My Mom is trying desperately to find someone to cover for her at work; if she can, then they will come up on Thursday and stay until Tuesday morning. That would give us 4 days with them! I am crossing my fingers...I would LOVE to see them, and they haven't seen Ethan since he was 1 month old.

Today I am thankful that I have such a close family.
