Monday Goals

Top of the mornin' to ya! I'm enjoying a cup of coffee next to my main man while watching Lifetime Movie Network. It doesn't get much better than that on a Monday morning.

His and Hers :)

Last night was nice. Baby K was such a good little boy. Content as could be and woke up every three hours to feed. It was a welcomed reprieve from the past few days. As you may have noticed, we have introduced bottles and pacis now. The lactation specialist said that pacifiers were okay after at least two weeks so we waited to give him one. He likes it, but has a hard time keeping it in his mouth. Last night, the paci was invaluable!

I'll admit that we probably introduced bottles too soon, but it has been wonderful. The TommeeTippee ones are great and little man switches back and forth between bottle to breast seamlessly. It's convenient to have the option, especially when I was back and forth between the hospital and my house for the blood pressure issues. I have an appointment later this week as a follow up to check my blood pressure. Let's hope he approves me to start working out!

Speaking of exercise, I found the greatest app. Now, I know I'm way behind in the game and everyone probably already knows about it, but for you cave dwellers like me, I present to you:

My Fitness Pal

It's great. It allows you to enter your calorie intake, but you don't have to worry about trying to figure out if you're entering the right information. All you have to do is type in what you ate/drank and brands of food pop up along with their calories for easy selection. It can also track your exercise, too. I haven't figured out all the neat perks yet because I just downloaded it, but I love it so far!

I'm ready for a routine here in LA. For the past few months, I've laid around doing very little. Now that I'm gaining my energy back, I'm ready for a little productivity. I'd like to start couponing again. I'm ready to get back on a weekly cleaning schedule, exercise schedule, menu schedule and school work schedule. Lately, I've been doing the bare minimum to get by in my classes and thankfully it has been working for me. I got to keep my GPA after all! I do want to put more effort into my education, though. I'd like to start writing again and do a little freelance work. I'm also ready to get out and make some friends here!

Last week, I went on post to meet with the ladies of PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel). I plan on attending a weekly class there with a new friend I met. It's called Experiencing God and I can't wait to see what's in store there. I miss sharing my devotions with you on my other blog so I might start posting there more often, too.

That's a lot of goals for a Monday morning. Just reading them makes me think I might need another cup of coffee or maybe a nap. ;) Have a great week y'all!

(* Note: I was not contacted to review or compensated for mentioning the bottles. This is my opinion and I wanted to share with you!)
