Monday’s Update ~ 1
Hello fellow bloggers! How was your weekend?
Mine was filled with lots of interesting stuff.
Date night went off without a hitch. I managed to stay away from alcohol (i’m a mixed-drink girl) and order the right thing on the menu. I tried to keep in my mind that I was there to spend a few hours of quiet time with my hubby and that I was not there for a few hours of quiet time with food. Making the defining line between the two really helped me put things into perspective.
On Saturday morning while I was taking a shower, my 18-month old baby sprained his ankle. According to Dave, B did an awkward Michael Jackson spin move while trying to get from a sitting position into a standing one and twisted his ankle. I took him to the emergency med center just to make sure that it his injury didn’t involve a fractured bone or break. To my relief he simply sprained his ankle. The doctor assured me that he would be back in action in a couple of days. B figured out that he would have to go back to crawling if he wanted to move around and play. So crawl he did until yesterday afternoon. His ankle was all better, the swelling was gone and he was back in the game. Babies heal so fast!
I stayed on track with my eating but I did not get any gym time in this weekend. I was worried about B and so I kept rooted to the spot. The reality of the situation is that he would have been totally fine in his dad’s care while I went to the gym but I just couldn’t leave him. We all snuggled on the couch and watched Monsters vs. Aliens on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking of no gym time. I was on pins and needles on Saturday and Sunday. It’s like I had all of this extra energy and I didn’t know where to put it. I cleaned a little, did some homework, and took my daughter to see Princess and the Frog. We also went grocery shopping afterward. I still felt anxious at bed time. Weird.
This morning went well unlike last Monday. The gym was also relatively quiet. It made me wonder if a mass of people dropped their New Years resolutions already.
I was rocking out to my new workout mix on my iPod. I finished up the routine with Madonna’s song: 4 minutes. Instead of ending slow (as in traditional cool down mode), I went as fast as I could for the last 30 seconds.
Want to know a secret? Sometimes I get so pumped by the music that I feel like any moment i’m going to breakout some dance moves on the treadmill. 
How was your weekend and how has your Monday been so far?

I actually drew a breath reading about your baby – how scary for you:( I managed to do the same as you this weekend – ate out with no drinks, bread, dessert. At the right thing and not too much. Small victories:)
Have a great week!

Oh I am so glad to hear he is okay! That is so scary.
Glad you enjoyed your date night with the hubs.
I have an award on my blog for you!

I’m sorry to hear about your little one! But I’m glad it’s only a sprain. It’s so hard when they’re that age and walking around and getting into EVERYTHING. Lot’s of heart attacks.

It is so scary when little people get hurt – glad all was okay in such a short time. We had a quiet weekend and a quiet Monday. I wish every weekend could be like that!

First of all, I think it’s so good that you kept in mind what you did on Friday night. I have a hard time choosing what to love more – between the company I go out to eat with and the food that I eat. It helps me to remember I’m not there for the food, but for the company.
AND, I love Monsters vs. Aliens. SUUUUSSSAN!!
