S.A.D.

Today, I made the mistake of googling "Austin, Tx. forecast." 67 degrees in January. That's kind of a hard pill to swallow as I stare out my window onto an endlessly white landscape....correction: a dim and endlessly white landscape. Yep, it's 4:40 and we're losing the sun for the day. Someone tell me how I'm supposed to stay motivated to do anything? (Someone tell me how I'm supposed to keep my plants alive?!) Today, I am S.A.D.

Luckily, it's supposed to be sunny for the rest of the week. We could all use a little Vitamin D. The girl staring back at me in the mirror is a little less Mexican than she used to be. lol And, I almost lose poor Matthew when we go outside. (jk)

Somehow, Isabel seems to be completely unfazed by the drop in temperature. She's a bit confused as to why she has to put on another set of clothes before we leave but that's about it. She's still itching to get outside any chance she gets. I think there's a lesson for me there. First, my child is totally Canadian. (We need a trip to the States again STAT!) And second, I can't let it get me down. Honestly, it doesn't usually. Just today. I'm only kinda S.A.D.

It's hard to stay down to long, when I have this to look at everyday.

Pure sunshine.

    Just realized my last post is about how winter isn't so bad. lol So, apparently, the weather makes me S.A.D. and Bipolar. C'mon Spring!!!

5 Things I've learned so far...

1. Our baby has fingerprints already. I'm not sure why but this freaks me out. 2. Pregnancy heartburn is NO JOKE. Before this, I think I'd had heartburn twice in my life. I'm Mexican for Christ's sake! We love our spicy food. I guess I have to go easy for the next few months. Boo. 3. I can't watch "A Baby Story" without being reduced to a sobbing mess. But I find myself turning the channel for the delivery part. 4. The placenta & baby (aka alien) are about the size of an avocado right now. 5. Our baby will have duel citizenship. Cool, huh?

Whole30 - Day 2

I popped out of bed today with a meal plan in place and feeling pretty proud for completing yesterday. Bring on Day 2! Day 2 How the book says I'll feel : "The Hangover." I was to expect headaches, fogginess and general blah-ness. How I actually feel : Pretty good considering how I (well, we) felt when we went to bed last night. I was expecting to be pained and dumb today. No pain. No dumb. Breakfast was good. (And lovingly prepared by the Hubs) I wasn't actually very hungry but finished it like a good girl knowing that I would be famished soon if I didn't. My headache is gone and I went to bed without heartburn for the first time in about a week. #winning I am sad to report, however, that coffee sans cream is still grody. The Hubs also prepared a delicious protein salad for lunch. I licked my plate clean. I was feeling pretty hungry right before. (ate a few almonds) But the salad was great and very satisfying. Still had to pick up a few things at the ...

Whole30 - Day 8

A new day. A new week. And hopefully we'll get some new benefits from this program. Whole30 at a glance. Day 8 How the book says I'll feel : "Nooo! My pants are TIGHTER!" Some fancy things are supposed to be happening in my gut. Using new energy, working properly...all that. And as such, some experience a short-lived bloating. How I actually feel: I didn't wear pants today so I'm not sure if they were tighter but I didn't feel bloated. Quite the opposite. I was a ball of energy today. And very productive. My 2 p.m. crash didn't happen. I'm really okay with that. Breakfast was scrambled eggs (again), and some left over veggies from my roasted chicken a few nights ago. It was pretty good. Coffee wasn't as nasty sans cream. I read an article that told me to try coconut milk. I just don't know.... For the first time, I was on my own for lunch. I made "Mexican Tuna Boats" - A recipe from the Whole30 book and they were fa...
