Day Off . . .

Yesterday after I finished Chalean I was looking over the calendar to see what workout came next and I was actually a little disappointed to find that today was a rest day. It was a great confirmation to me to find that I have really come to enjoy her program and the time I spend exercising. I used my usual workout time today to take some measurements so that I can track my progress. Today marks the first week of the Chalean program and I have already started to notice small differences in how my body looks. It's fun and exciting and definitely helps to keep me motivated! I'm interested to see the changes that will happen by the time I finish.

Last night Gary made dinner. He made oven-baked breaded chicken tenders and roasted potatoes. I love those yummy chicken tenders, and they are really light too, which makes them even more awesome! I love when Gary makes dinner! It gives me a really nice break from the kitchen and he always does a great job. What a lucky girl I am!

We are having dinner with our friends the Bronson's on Thursday. I am going to make that Caribbean Curry Soup for them. While we are there I think we might talk about some plans for the weekend. On February 6th we are going to a party that my midwife Karly is throwing for all of her past and present clients. It will be fun to re-introduce her to Riley and to meet and talk to everyone and hear about their experiences with home birth.

We have had monsoon-like weather for the past two days. Torrential downpours like you wouldn't believe!
