The first month we were here I thought all the snow was beautiful, the second month I was used to it and it didn't bother me now were on month three and I can't wait until it stops!!! I asked Tyler today when does it stop snowing and he said it can snow until April. That’s 2 more months of snow!!! I can't wait until spring but that means summer is close behind, which I'm not looking forward too. Base housing does not have AC and temps in the summer can be in the upper nineties. When I was in Italy they didn't have AC either and it got pretty hot there as well but I have put on some weight since then so I'm not looking forward to sweaty rolls lol!!!
I am trying to work on losing the extra weight, especially if I want to get pregnant soon. Back in December I signed up for Weight Watchers online, I did really well for the first month but I only lost like 2 pounds. It was so hard keeping up with the food journal and most of the time they didn't have the food I ate on the list. So I canceled my membership and we are just trying to eat better and workout. Tyler has to go to the gym at least 3 times a week so Bella and I are going with him. The base gym here has a mommy (or daddy) and baby room, the front of the room is set up with a TV, tumbling blocks, and a little kitchen; the back of the room is set up with treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes. This base is so family friendly!!! So far this week we went to the gym on Monday and Wednesday and we plan to go tomorrow. It is so nice because we can put Bella in the play area and Tyler and I can work out together. We also have started going to the pool on the weekends, last week me and Bella went twice during the week, so maybe we will try and do that on Tuesday and Thursday.
Tyler read my disappointment blog the other day and we had a talk last night, well he talked and I listened. He thinks the reason I am feeling so down on myself is because I'm not getting out and doing things, I think it is because the medicine I take for migraines makes me fell sluggish. Anyways he suggested that I take Bella outside and let us both get some fresh air. So this morning I got her all dressed up in her snow gear and I got all bundled up and we headed outside. For the most part I think he was right getting outside and doing something helps but I still think my meds are keeping me down. The good thing is Bella had fun and I definitely got a workout. Tyler didn't have time this morning to get all the snow shoveled before he left for work so while Bella played in the snow I shoveled our parking spots and the sidewalks. It took me about 30 minutes to do it all; I never would have thought shoveling snow was such work.
This is looking out our apartment window!!! I shoveled that whole sidewalk along with the a sidewalk on the opposite side of our yard that leads to the garbage cans. Our parking spots are the one with my car in it and the one that is for the most part clear (to the right)!!! I tried really hard to get all the snow off but under the snow was ice so I didn't get very far.
This is a picture of my new favorite drink, cold green tea!!!! I think I mentioned it in an earlier post!!! I love the bottle, I thought I would share it with y'all!!!
Well I just put Bella down for a nap so I'm off to get some homework done. Maybe I can get somewhere in Statistics today...Wish me luck!!!!
