5th PLAY DAY!
We use a marble jar reward/punishment system that works GREAT for us--thanks to gma for giving FUN stuff to the treasure box!
We had a family meeting sunday night to go over all of this, it was followed up with jon giving each of the four girls a fathers blessing for school..they were so precious and placed a pillow at the foot of his wheelchair and laid their head on his knees so he could reach them with his hands..so tender & sweet. He told them he was grateful that this was something that HE could do for THEM.
The girls had a GREAT 1st day of school--
this is how becca spent the day today after an hour at the water park with a friend!
The girls were treated with homemade warm chocolate chip cookies when they got back
(its a family tradition we do with them).
After homework/chores-they went swimming:
At the dinner table we go around and everyone says what made them mad or sad or frustrated that day, then we go around and ask what made them happy that day-its a great way to hear how their day REALLY went! It was fun to hear how school REALLY went today for them--
Today I started back at the gym-SO FUN! im SHOCKED that i ate VERY POORLY (like mcdonalds for breakfast, carls jr for lunch followed by del taco for dinner- I KNOW in one day ive done that! and on SEVERAL occassions)so i thought FOR SURE i had gained 10 lbs or more--but MUCH TO MY SURPRISE i only gained 2lbs..hmmm crazy..but its good to be back at the gym doing my circuit training/protein shake drinking.
Im THRILLED that i can still fit into these bad girl jeans!
Im working on a no sugar no white flour no soda gig..im committed..tonight i had a turkey burger with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes with lettuce wrapped around it! SO GRUB!
On my food runs I do to Albertsons, I used french bread, pizza sauce, cut up tomatoes, mushrooms & peppers & we made french bread pizza- SO GRUBILICIOUS too!!

The girls look cute! I love first day of school photos.....
Congratz with the jeans! I am trying to decide if I should cancel my membership or reactivate it and I'm scared to step back on that scale after this summer of no working out and eating to my hearts content, yikes, oh well! Back to the grindstone.
Cute pics of the girls on their first day!
Christina what a fun post. Your girls looked so cute for their first day, i loved that they matched and what cute shirts those were!
Your schedule looks great, I remembered your tradition of chocolate chip cookies and almost made them for my kids but knew I would end up eating them myself haha
I'm impressed with your new diet, no sugar or white flour, does that mean no more BJ's for us?!?!? darn:)

I feel like I am rolling out of mine today. I have been bad on my diet for a couple weeks. I mean BAD!
