Well I have a day off entirely to myself today, first in a very long time. So I thought I would finally post an update.
I can't believe January is almost over! I just don't know where the time goes. Although, I will be EXTREMELY happy when winter is over. What a brutal one it has been!
Last week, Kai and I finally made a much overdue trip down to Weyburn to visit Grandpa T and Grandma Hille. Weyburn is only a little over an hour away, but there always seems to be something going on, or the weather sucks, so we never seem to get down there. The trip down, wasn't so bad, but the crappy highway from Qu'Appelle was pretty snowy and icy. First, we went to Grandpa T's and had a lunch and a great visit with him. He hadn't seen us in a very long time and couldn't believe how much Kai had grown (and how much weight I had lost YAY!). He hyped Kai up on candy and cookies (just like he used to with me LOL) and Kai turned his house into a tornado zone. Afterwards, we went over to Grandma Hille's and Kai trashed her place and we watched the one year DVD that I gave her for Christmas. Then we went to McDonald's for coffee. This was the BEST idea ever! The play area is in a closed off room and we were the only ones in it. So we were able to actually have coffee without Kai getting restless and irritated. The highways were really crappy on the way home, couldn't see a thing, but we made it! I am really glad that we made it down there, even if it was a whirlwind trip, hopefully we can do it again sooner, rather than later!
Kai's daycare workers informed me last week that come February 1st he will be moving up to the next group. They say his speech and abilities have greatly advanced and they think he needs a more "challenging" environment. This was great to hear! In his new group they don't use sippy cups and start working on potty training, so here is hoping!
I first started Weight Watchers LAST January, I have lost a total of 42lbs. I did it from January to April and then when I started working again I basically abandoned it until I restarted in October. I am extremely happy with my progress. I hope to lose about another 10lbs, but am not "set" on it, so I have eased back a bit on WW and will take it as it comes. Now I really need to start working on toning. I hope to get back into Crossfit or something of the like very soon. As with everything, time will be the factor.
Work has been EXTREMELY crazy busy, as it will be for a long time now, probably until next September when the slow season hits again. This is great, money is good, days go fast, but energy is taken LOL.
I still haven't listed my house, but hope to in the next week or so. I still have a little bit of painting etc. that I would like to get done first, so hopefully that will happen this weekend.
Tonight I am going out with some girls from work for one of their birthdays, so it should be a good time and it will be nice to "get out" for a bit.
Well that's about it for now. Hope everyone is fairing well in this "deep freeze" that we call home! :)
Here are some new pictures!
