Weekend Wrap-Up

So, I was going to post this on Sunday night, but here it is on Tuesday :)

When I got home from work Friday night, I was so tired, I could barely move.  Do you ever have days like that?

I think it was a mixture of a lot of things.  Work stress, knowing that I had to clean my house from top to bottom this weekend (appraisal in the next few days!), Christmas is officially over, and the weather here has been so dreary.  It is January after all.

I fed the babies, gave them baths and collapsed into bed. Luckily Harper loves the i-pad, so I "helped" him play games.

By Saturday, I felt much better. I had a hair appointment that I had rescheduled, so off I went.  I love going, but I always feel like there is so much I need to be doing at home. I do like the downtime and take advantage of it.

I can't keep polish on my nails to save my life. I just use my hands too much, but I still paint'em anyway.

I kicked off this weekend with my "let's get healthier" attitude.  The goal is not to lose weight, but to feel better. (Although losing a few pounds wouldn't hurt:)  I feel tired all the time.

I don't eat well. I go to bed around midnight and get up at 7am, but that never feels like enough. I just want some energy!!

So, I'm not going to deprive myself, but I am trying to eat healthier.  I have found the best turkey I've ever had, hands down. At Target, believe it or not!

 I love spicy foods, so this is right up my alley.

My lunch today was surprisingly low in calories and it was really good!

( Yes, I am still using my Halloween bowls :)

My biggest problem is my soda intake.  I rarely drink water. I really, really hate water. I am making myself drink more of it and less soda, but I am not sure I will ever totally cut the fizzy drinks out. Just being honest.

 The lemonade flavor packets help me drink more :) I had so much water yesterday, I'm sure my co-workers thought something was wrong with me. 

Sunday night, I went to see "This is 40" with a friend.  I won't spoil anything, but the movie was surprisingly serious.  I expected it to be so much funnier and light-hearted, but only some parts were. :(

This whole weekend, we have cleaned and cleaned.  Today, the appraiser came out and we are all so glad that it's over.  I have declared a "no house-project weekend."  I think we need a break and the weather is supposed to be amazing.  I think we are beach-bound :)

I hope you all had an awesome weekend and start to your week!
