Family Time



"Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten. "
~ Lilo (Lilo & Stitch)

Weight loss this week - 0 lbs.
Weight loss total - 33 lbs.

These past few weeks has been very stressful. On top of school and a new promotion I sometimes get side track and neglect my family. My "Ohana". With that in mind my DH decided on the spur of the moment (sometimes those are the best) to spend some quality family time together. We brought the kids to the zoo. Though it was chilly out we still had a good time. It was nice to be able to relax with the kids and not have a worry in the world. To my surprise the kids got along well. Brother and sisters often fight. Everyone can agree with that. LOL... Have you neglected your family recently? If you have what are you going to do to make quality time together?

This week my goal is to get 3 workouts done. I succeeded last week with working out 4 times. More walking time during the week with my kids. Love this Chicago weather. Not hot and not cold. Just right with a little bit of breeze. Now if i could just hear the ocean waves crashing it would make me feel more at home. Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Good luck to all the ladies that applied to be a mamavation mom for this campaign. I'll be rooting for all of you! You all rock in my book!!

  1. I love being able to spend that kind of time with my family. It is nice to be able to sit back and take it all in and not have to worry Oh, I have to be here or there. Because that is what matters, is our family! Good for you for taking that much needed time out. Hope you have a great week!

  2. I totally hear you on the neglecting family...I tend to get so busy during the week with blogging, housework, and everything else. So on weekends when my dh is home, I try to stay off the computer until bedtime and we plan grocery shopping, or whatever to spend time together.

  3. Ah, love that quote from Lilo and Stitch! I too need to work on scheduling my time better. I get so wrapped up with the things I "have" to do that I miss time with the people that mean the most to me.

  5. I love impromptu trips to the zoo and just getting out with the family. It's even better if I "forget" my phone at home :)

  7. I'm glad you had a good time at the zoo! My kids were definitely a little neglected this week w/ me being sick and my husband being away for work so on Friday night I took the kids for a walk w/ my sister to the local pizza place. It was a lot of fun!

  11. I love family time! I wish we had a zoo - I think we'd be there all of the time. Even though you didn't lose any weight this week, you are still taking care of yourself. The mental part. It's all important!!

  12. We have designated Family Nights at our house. Every Saturday evening, we spend the rest of the evening together -- playing the Wii, going out to eat (or the kids helping me cook at home), going shopping, etc... then we end the evening with a movie. Everyone piles up in the living room with their pillows and blankets and popcorn and we take turns selecting a movie for us to watch together. We spend as much time with the kids as possible but we NEVER miss Family Night and if we do, it's mandatory to make it up before the next Saturday! :) Good luck on your workouts for the next week!!
