weigh-in

One of these weeks, I’ll have some good news from the scale… I’m was up a bit from last week and once again, I feel a tad frustrated and disappointed… I did manage, however, to jog for 8-minutes straight (3x) on Wednesday so at least I’m making progress there, and I’m able to hold plank for a bit longer, so yea… Screw you, scale!

Yesterday was a huge milestone for Eric and I – it was the 1st time that we used a real babysitter, and she’s not a friend or family member! It was Eric’s birthday so I decided to surprise him with dinner and a movie – Melissa had come over on Sunday night for a ‘test run’ and did great, so I knew things would go well… I also thought I would be more worried, but I only texted once (right before the movie started) to see how things were and she said they went great, so I was able to sit back and relax… We had a yummy dinner in Silver Spring and then just made the 7:45 showing of Batman (which was awe-some, by the way)… We both commented on the way home that it felt really weird to be out that late, without Deck, and it might have been the 1st time since before he was born! Crazy! When we got home – Melissa said Deck was really good, and that he never cried or fussed… He wasn’t too fond of dinner, but went down really easily and snuggled right in when she rocked him to sleep (breaks my heart, but in a good way)… Overall, it was the perfect evening with my hubby, and I hope that we can have many more date-nights…

Weekend plans consist of a neighborhood BBQ tomorrow and then another BBQ at Eric’s brother’s house on Sunday… Somewhere in there I need to do the usual clean, laundry, and grocery store, and perhaps we’ll clean the pool and go swimming… Then again, I’m sort of hesitant on the last one since we seem to have adopted some guppies in our pool water and the thought of throwing them out makes me sad – might have to come up with an alternate plan…

Have a great weekend and happy Friday!
