This morning, as I was checking facebook, Samuel was standing about 6 inches behind me leaning on the love seat. I wasn’t looking at him, obviously, as my attention was on the computer but I knew he was right there, safe, and within arms reach so I felt quite secure in focusing my attention elsewhere.

Eventually I noticed a soft sound… whisk, whisk, whisk. I turned to see a huge mound of un-used tissues on the floor and Samuel happily pulling another one from the box.

I had to laugh.

How kind of him to make the tissues so much more accessible and easy to reach!

Now I need to figure out who left the box where he could reach it.

Ugh. I’m only doing this because I said I would.

1) lose at least 5 pounds — Try almost 3. But down is still good.

2) no snacking after the kids are in bed (8:00) — massive fail

3) at least 90 minutes of exercise per week — massive fail

4) complete 4 scrapbook pages — I did this one!

5) spend less than 1 hour per day on facebook — I stopped keeping track. I actually think I might have ultimately cut down some but since I stopped keeping track, it’s hard to say.

So, yeah, pretty much awful.

February’s Goals:

1) lose at least 5 pounds in February
2) keep my average calorie consumption at or under 1900 per day (Erm. I know that seems high, but honestly it would be a big improvement. Plus, I’m still lactating. I figure I must be putting out at least 300 calories/day in milk. So, 300 for him and 1600 for me isn’t too bad.)
3) get more exercise than I did in January. (Ha, I’m done that one already. I got 45 minutes in January and I’m already up to 60 for February. But seriously, I’m still working on finding a way to exercise regularly.)
4) complete at least 4 scrapbook pages in February
5) spend at least 15 minutes/day on spiritual pursuits. (Probably scripture reading, usually.)
