Matty and Great Uncle Merel at New Year's...

Yippee! The scale was nice to me today. It is going down slowly but surely. Years ago I would weigh in on the gym scale in the ladies locker room and it was digital and pretty consistent so even when the scale crept down, you could still see the ounces going away. On our big ol’ Dr. scale (remnants from Matt’s wrestling days) I can see why it’s more beneficial to only officially count one weigh in at the end of the week.

I have had only one refined sugar item in 16 days. That is huge for me! The only thing I have had was 3 peeps at my Mom’s last Friday when I picked up the baby. I feel really good about this!

We made a baked crusty cod and green beans and rolls last night. The cod was so yummy. We are really going to try to have fish at least once a week.

Matty is burning up the carpet on his new crawling legs. He is such a happy boy! I hate dragging him out of bed every morning to drop him off at Granny’s on my way to work. Most of the time he wakes up happy but this morning he was not happy.

MIL is going to visit Matt’s brother at the end of the week. He lives in Kentucky and she is staying 4 days I think. She wants Matt to do all this stuff around the house before she goes and Matt is so exhausted from work. Honestly we will be able to really knock it out while she is gone and not hovering. She’s really bad about ‘supervising’ and having to be right under foot. It will get done, there is no need to panic.

I better get to work.
Hugs…
