Mar: Week 3

-Call visiting teacher person to see if we can visit on Friday.  Did this and we are planning on going tomorrow! (We have a really tough route.) 
-Do a project/cooking lesson with the kids this afternoon, since they have early release today. Can't remember that long ago... 
-Get ahead of homework today so the week is smoother. (Maddie is gearing up for a big project so I especially don't want to get behind.) Did fairly well. Always room for improvement, but I think we are doing good enough.
-Make sure all of the menus are planned so I can go to the store Wednesday or Friday. Hopefully Wed. Made it to the store Wednesday. Drove the kids down to Chicago on Thursday. Was a long trip, but we had fun. 
-Continue no screens.  We have done well, but I have started to let them have soem screens, but more moderation is in place.
Ilah had a fever for several days this week (teething) and Dave had the stomach flu over the weekend, so I felt like it was a really long week in some aspects, with little accomplishment.

This week:
-Continue no sugar this week. A friend suggested on Wednesday that we do no sugar from Saturday-Friday. I decided to do it with her. The first day was hard, but it is getting easier. I don't feel like I eat a lot of sugar, but this still has been eye opening.
-Hem some pants!!
-Plan group date night. We have 2 couples that we go out with regularly and this time it is our turn to plan the date.
-Help Maddie finish her project on Thomas Jefferson.
-Load new music to exercise to.
-Exercise 4 times this week.

I feel like motivation is low for me this week too. I want so much for it to be springier weather, but it is not here yet. I am itching to get outside, do yard work and just let the kids play. Soon enough.

  1. Good job last week--even with a busy week and sickness. How was visiting teaching?

    Good luck on the no sugar. Is it just desserts or are you trying to eliminate anything with sugar in it?

    Group date night sounds fun. What do you usually do for it?
