OK, so hopefully the point of this exercise is to reflect positively on every day and not actually POST every day. I’m playing catch-up, but at least I’m catching up.

1. Able to spend a lovely Monday afternoon working in a garden and greenhouse, pushing wheelbarrows, shoveling compost and transplanting herbs. (I liked how this gave a new meaning to the word “transplant” — for I was actually transplanting plants!)
2. Eating a salad for dinner, and kind of enjoying it. (I don’t usually like salads, but sacrifices must be made when engaged in Weight Wars.)
3. Gelato for dessert. Kyle rejoiced, for he did not partake in the gelato. Kyle, 1; Amy, 0.
4. Owen quietly going down for bedtime.
5. Kyle coming home from a softball game and rushing into the nursery to see his sleeping son. He loves him, I’d say.

Grace 6 (Tuesday)

1. Owen had a dirty diaper! After five days of no dirty diapers. I no longer have to panic about his lack of bowel movements, and fortunately this explosiveness occurred at daycare. … Amy, 1; Daycare, 0.
2. Amusement of Kyle jogging in the rainy downpour to keep up with my boot-camp diligence. Kyle, 1; Amy, 1.
3. Homemade smoothies and egg burritos for dinner! Health rocks.
4. Loading up on fruits and veggies at the grocery store. Amy, 1; Ben & Jerry’s, 0.
5. Owen’s growing tolerance for bedtime stories. He must love knowing that we love him “… Through and Through.”
