I've Got to Write this Crap DOWN!
..because that makes it real, right?
I've been battling weight since Alice was born. It's much harder to find the time to exercise and prepare healthy food with two babies.
I need to make this a priority so I need to write it down. Maybe that's just the kind of accountability I need.
Health Goals
1. Exercise 3x a week. This doesn't have to be as hard as I think. It can be a walk around the neighborhood with the kids, a quick workout video, a jog once Steven gets home....anything. I just need to get my but moving for me. Picking up/lugging kids around does not count Elizabeth!!!
2. Count calories 5 days a week. I plan to stick to about 1720 calories a day. No counting on Fridays and Sundays but I still need to pay attention to what I'm putting in my mouth.
3. Eat breakfast. Seriously, this is becoming a HUGE problem for me. I get so caught up in the mornings with diapers and feeding babies that I forget about myself. At about 10:00 it hits me hard. I'm shaking and feeling bad and just so desperate to get something into my body, that I eat the first easy thing I can find in the house.
4. Limit fast food. When did fast food become a problem for me? It's just so stinkin' easy when you've got a screaming kid. It falls into the same category as number 3. I get in a rush and forget to eat before leaving the house. Cue McDonald's.
That's enough goal setting for now. I really need this to work. When did I become a fatty????

Alice 7 Months
My sweet Ali, I can't believe you're seven months old already.
Eating Habits
I'm not sure that I've noted this anywhere but you hate to be held while you have your bottle. You prefer to lay on the boppy in front of the person feeding you and drink at a leisurely pace. You're taking about 24 ounces of formula a day. You do love some baby food though! You usually eat some at lunch and dinner.
Sleeping Habits
You have until you're eight months old to sleep through the night or else we're putting you up for adoption. Seriously. Your sleeping has improved. On most nights you wake 1-2 times but we have had a rough go lately.
Milestones
Your sitting confidently on your own now. You started sitting with support at 6 months. (I missed that post.)c You are unable to get yourself in the sitting position on your own but you did manage once with the support of your boppy.
You are itching to get moving. I'd say it won't be too much longer until you're crawling!
You love toys, us and especially Connor. When Connor has a tantrum you laugh and laugh. You also mock him constantly. If he coughs, you cough. If he laughs, you laugh. Last week you even said bye after he did!
Alice, you're such a sweet, happy baby!
