Mini-Post - Day 27 of 42

Yesterday was an okay day.  I still ate to lose, even though I never got a workout in.  I drank water, played with kiddos, got Prima her Halloween costume.  


Hey, have you noticed that girls' Halloween costumes are...well, scandalous?  Prima is 10 (as of yesterday, happy birthday my wonderful girl), and though she keeps getting bigger, the costumes meant for her age seem to be staying the same size.  As in, there's barely enough material there for a 4 year old's costume.  So, Halloween costume manufacturer's, what's up?  Why are you trying to dress my baby like a little prostitot?  Ugh!  Not to mention, We live in New England!  It's going to be CHILLY that night, if not freezing.  Yet, this year every costume was short sleeves, no sleeves, even strapless!  Tights, mini skirts, you name it.  So, my baby will freeze and look way too old for her age.  Thanks a lot.  Three store trips later, we finally found something we could both agree on, a lovely wingless fairy (which was also a tank on top, but we found a nice long-sleeved shirt to put under it).  Hallelujah.  


Anyway, that was yesterday.  All the kiddos have got their costumes; I've still got my sanity.  Overall, a very decent day.

Mini-Post - Day 26 0f 42

Yesterday was a fabulous day.  I worked my butt off.  (For 72 whole minutes).  I ate to lose.  I drank water like it was my job (I always forget how much easier it is to forgo snacking when you're full to the brim with water!).  Also on this productive day, I took Secondo to get a Halloween costume.  (Prima is going tonight and the littles already have theirs).


All in all, a lovely day -- working toward a wonderful week.

PS, this is the plan from here on out with these Minis.  I'm going to post (hopefully) in the morning about the previous day.  I always remember to work on it in the morning, but then realize that I haven't actually finished up for the day.  So, duh, here is the solution ;)
