Night Time Relief

So, what do most moms do at night when the husband is at a meeting and the baby is asleep? I have finished cleaning the house, and now I am wandering around on the internet, checking bills and dreaming of a new cell phone. I think perhaps I will play Heroes of Might and Magic, I enjoy doing that, and I haven't had a moment to play for awhile. It is so nice to know that my little angel is happy - and out for the count. I just feel a little lost sometimes when there isn't a little voice wanting my attention.

On a side note: Scott and I started a yeast cleanse yesterday. For those who are unfamiliar with this term, you basically eat only meat, veggies, red potatoes, and yams. Similar to the Atkins diet, the major difference is that you only do this for 10-14 days. It is not to eat this way all of the time (my little soap box) but is excellent for the body if you have an abundance of yeast. So I may keep you all updated on how I am feeling. Yesterday was great, and delicious. I actually took time to make food! I can already tell this is going to be good for me, in more ways than one. Today was also pretty easy, except that I craved sugar from about 3pm on. I seemed to see it everywhere, little bits of candy left over from Halloween. Spooky. I was strong, however, and have not succumbed to my cravings.

Scott and I are exercising now too. We go to the gym almost everyday. I like it a lot. Today I tried the elliptical machine. It basically feels like you are floating, as there is no impact on your knees. I managed to go 2 mile in 20 minutes, which is pretty exciting for me. I knew I needed to get back into exercising when I couldn't get through the whole line dance for the Boot Scooting Boogie at my brother's wedding. What is even more pathetic is that I don't think I made it through the first verse. Ah well, I am improving and really excited for the first time in my life to be working out!
