Day 77: Happy Mother's Day!

I had a lovely Mother's Day today. :) I went out for brunch with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. When we got to the brunch place they said it would be 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours wait! Normally that would just send me right back out the door but we made it work. We bellied up to the bar and Mom and Kerry ordered mimosas and I had a diet Coke and then we went outside and sat in the van with the A/C on until our beeper buzzed. It was good because we got to spend some girly time together just chatting about things. Something we almost never get the time to do. Our "brunch" turned out to be more like a late lunch by the time it was all said and done but that was alright because it ended up being pretty tasty. Afterwards we took Mom shopping for some new clothes and we were her fashion consultants. She got a few nice new pieces that are very versatile. I think it did her good to get out of the house. Grandpa's declining health is weighing very heavy on her. We decided that we need to have a "girls day" at least every 2 months. I think it will do us all good. :)

We finally got home a little before 5 pm. I spent some time with Corey and Emelia. That was probably my favorite thing I did all day. Just lounging on the bed cuddling with my Peanut and getting sweet little toddler kisses. Nothing gets better than that. :) After all, she's the reason that I am a Mommy today.

Corey took me out to dinner tonight for Greek food. It was very tasty. We had a good "grown-up" conversation too that I think we needed. We also went to Walmart and I got some pumpkin seeds. I'm excited to grow my own jack-o-lantern for Halloween! We ended the day with some ice cream from Sonic. All together it was a really good day and I am very thankful that I get to be a Mommy to such an incredible little girl. Thank you God for my sweet baby girl, Emelia Grace. I love her!



No workout today (Cheat Day). Here's what I ate:

BRUNCH:
-part of a strawberry, yogurt and granola parfait
-crab cake eggs Benedict (2 poached eggs over crab cakes w/hollandaise)
-hash browns
-diet Coke

DINNER:
-Greek salad w/gyro meat (lettuce, tomato, feta & dressing)
-3/4 of a pita
-regular size Oreo Sonic Blast

(Dammit, I know it was "Cheat Day" but why are those carbs I ate making me feel so guilty?)

P.S. I'VE MADE IT 11 WEEKS NOW!!! :)
