The new gym did not disappoint me - it's super nice, clean and so much workout equipment. I think joining the new gym just got me back in the health kick mode. I've just been so down lately - not just about that but about just being in a rut. So the gym was good, I pushed myself and will probably be sore tomorrow but a good sore. After work came home and got Olivia cleaned up and then the three of us (Kurt, Olivia and I) went to dinner. I felt like treating - so took us to a Burger Joint in Berkley. Delicious, Olivia was stubborn about not eating - until I gave her a fork and put food on the fork then she was all into eating. Stopped on the way home for some Andes Mint Ice Cream - needed the sweet fix. We got home, got Olivia bathed and in pajamas. For the next hour or so we played patty cake, read a couple books and then practiced animal sounds. She is getting really good at that - we have a dancing mat that plays music and animal sounds - she loves it. She has been mimicking all of the sounds almost perfectly. Before bed we gave her a snack of yogurt (she can't have ice cream) and then put her to bed. After that - we watched some tv and played Sinko. It's a fun game. I was going to do some more cardio but decided just to relax instead. So decided to give up Cookies, Cheetos and Doritos for lent. Man, those are like my favorite things in the whole world - but I can do it. I have to go clean out the cupboards... It's too tempting having the stuff in the house. Luckily I ate all the Girl Scout Cookies we had already. I'm not proud of that but now they are gone and there is no looking back.
