Confession #4: We wait until the last minute to do everything! Yikes!

So I have been posting every Monday for the last 3 weeks....so what happened this week? Just re-read the title of this blog :)

It's been a crazy week at work, and I also volunteer in a Hispanic organization AND my in laws are in town! Sooo let me start by saying that last week we were also super busy and on Thursday night--the night before the in laws arrived-we were running around like crazy stalkers on a U-Haul truck looking for a sofa bed and a recliner for the in laws. We stalked several people on craigslist---I’m pretty sure one of ladies we called thought we were psychos because she stopped answering our calls after call #10.

Psychos in a U-Haul Truck!! Get out of the way!

So after miraculously finding a sofa bed and recliner, we ran back home to finish cleaning the house and preparing everything for their arrival. It was 9pm on the night of the arrival and we were still running around like chickens without heads. It was crazy! But we work great as team and under pressure! The hubby's family is visiting us for the first time since we moved to DC, so he had to be extra special.

The Family!! At the White House! Went through 5 security check points for a 5 min tour!

We have been doing very well with our diet and exercise! Last Sunday we woke up at 6:50 AM before the family woke up—I know!—and went for a run in45 degree weather. I am so proud! Never in a million years I thought I would be one of those people! It felt do great! We have been eating very well too. Like instead of eating regular burgers we go for turkey with no mayo, no fries and with water instead of coke. It's possible!

Morning run! Bella was clearly not happy about the early run in 45 degree weather, just look at the nasty look she's shooting the hubby!

 We have truly enjoyed the family time and we have certainly kept them busy! There is nothing like family and we are blessed to have them here. Bella has also enjoyed the family time, they got her this adorable costume!

Bumble bella! Adorable!

As we learn to cope with this new healthy lifestyle, we have learned to appreciate the small things in life like spending quality time bonding and working on projects together. We have learned new ways to enjoy life and it's been a great journey so far! I no longer have dreams about donuts or demand cake in my dreams :)

Tip of the day: Enjoy family! And if you can do things today, don't wait till tomorrow--we are still trying to apply this principle! Gotta go, family movie time!
