That's how I started my day. From the moment I woke up, it was nonstop today. It all started off with my morning Bible reading. Followed up with showers, baths, getting ready, and breakfasts for the baby girl and I. We had to head out the door at around 9:30 this morning to go and meet up with the local Mom's Group. I contacted a local group a couple of weeks ago and got some information and today was the first day to head and out and see what it was all about. We went to a cool little playcenter called Imaginations at Play. This place is really cool for kids. They have all sorts of different areas set up for the kids to explore. From a place to splash in water and play with bubbles to a mini grocery store to go 'shopping' there was all sorts of fun. Here are some pictures of Makenzie from this morning and all her adventures.

I really enjoyed meeting some other moms in the area and having new things to do with Makenzie. I believe we are going to go to an indoor playground and meet some more people from the group on Friday morning. I think Ihave already decided to join this group. Do you have any groups or outside activities where you meet regularly with others? What are they? Why did you join? I decided to look for a mom's group to have more adult interaction and social outings with baby M during the weekdays. It is so important to have people in your life with similar interests and lifestyles. Which is one of the main reasons I have this blog 😉 Love you all! 🙂

After the playtime we headed home for some lunch. It took twice as long to get home due to an accident that shut down the main road to my house so I was a starvin' marvin upon pulling in the driveway. Lunch was my usual - some sort of wrap with turkey or ham, veggies, and laughing cow cheese/mustard with an apple and 100 cal popcorn or more veggies on the side. I am a creature of habit and tend to eat the same things all the time. Not very exciting for all of you foodies, I know. But I am who I am, so take it or leave it.

After I refueled myself, I got to some laundry and housechores while the baby girl crashed from her extravaganza of play. I did have a moment to take some time to catch up on blogs too and read my next book (which I am LOVING). Finally, it was time to get my groove on workout. I opted for an at home Turbo Jam workout today. I always love those workouts because they always leave me feeling great and it passes quickly because they are so fun.

This reminds me - THANK YOU for all the supportive posts yesterday. This is something that I know I want to do and will do eventually, the question is when. I still plan to take some time to pray about it, but I will probably go ahead and talk to the group fitness manager at my gym just in general about what it takes to get certified and stuff. And I'll just look at some things and see where the good Lord leads me 😉

Now I have to let you all go. My sister will be arriving shortly to enjoy some din din together and watch tonight's episode of The Biggest Loser. Which reminds me - I am so peeved that I accidentally stumbled across a possible Bachelor spoiler last night. Gar! I hate not being surprised. 🙁

Well, lookie here! I've done it!!! I've transferred my old Blogger blog over to the cool WordPress world. Word! I really hope that my wonderful friends will continue to follow me. And hey, new ones too would be just awesome. 🙂

Now onto my first post. The past couple of days have been fairly normal and uneventful, so I won't bore you too much with all of that. The highlight of Monday was a great full body workout and a good sweat session on the elliptical. The workout looked like this:

• Superset One - leg press & 1 arm DB row
• Superset Two - DB reverse lunge & DB bench press
• Superset Three - leg extension & upright row
• Superset Four - front BB shoulder raise & tricep dips

I did 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps per exercise. It still worked me out well, even doing less weight than my normal. I have really been cutting back on some of the intensity of my workouts for I guess you could call them personal and health reasons. My workouts have been just challenging enough to really get me working, but not leave me exhausted. A good balance. And I am able to be in, out, done in around an hour every single day. Love that! 🙂

Yesterday was absolutely nothing special. I don't even really remember what I did! I know when Peter got home from work he helped me fiddle around with this new blog world and set things up. During the day, I guess I just was entertained by this face...

Oh, now I remember! Yesterday's highlight was enchilada night. I made some lowfat, delicious chicken enchiladas. Here is the recipe. And please bear with me and the nastiness that is my camera. I would love love love a nice camera to get good foodie pictures!

Now for today. Today will be a bit more exciting. It is an off day from workouts since I slept like poo last night and won't really have time. Wednesdays are my scheduled optional workout days so it's cool. Makenzie & I will be heading out around lunchtime to go have a playdate with our friends - mommy Clare and baby Jack. It will be nice to catch up with a girlfriend I haven't seen in a few weeks. I'll be back later!!!
