Staying well for DS8

Its pretty isn't it? I like the protein spikes. I don't want it in my body though.

I know my body is waging a war against the rhino. I'm drinking Emergen-C & tea like I'm an addict. There is always a warm mug in my hand. I'm shoving lots of fruit and veg down my throat and after I spend my hour on the treadmill, I'm taking it easy before I leave for work.

I'm so ready for Spring! My mood has seemed to turn on a dime. Days ago I was feeling it wasn't so bad. The arctic cold air seemed to be cleansing. When you are fighting the rhino though, the cold, dry air doesn't feel so therapeutic anymore.

I must stay well because in just days my DS8 will become my DS9!! I'm so excited for him! I used to feel regret that my babies were no longer babies, and now I'm going through my little boys are no longer little boys. I'm the mom of Tweens! How did that happen?

Today is my last day of obligation and then the fun can begin! Since I don't have to work tomorrow and DH will be out of town rocking it, I'm thinking of kick starting our birthday fun weekend by taking the boys out for Noodles. On Friday I'm sure DS9 will want to eat out at Red Lobster for his Birthday dinner. The only thing he eats there is the garlic cheddar rolls, but this is his favorite. Saturday Grandma arrives and Sunday is official party day.

Wow, I just realized I'll have major food choice challenges ahead of me! I better push away from the computer right now, turn on my favorite cleaning ladies from England and start walking on that treadmill.

Have a great Wednesday!
