Date night bust

Now don't get me wrong I love my baby girl more than life but it is nice to spend some time with my husband alone and eat a meal without listening to squealing.

So tonight I asked my mom to watch Rylee so that we could have a date night and of course she joyfully accepted! 

So we figured out what we were going to do - make dinner at home and go to the fall fest downtown. My mom came and got Rylee at 5 pm and we made our dinner and ate in the quite. 

After dinner we went to fall fest and when we got there we were quite disappointed at the lack of stuff there. Only one row of things and it was mostly food - only about 4-5 vendors. So we left after about 10 minutes and decided that for our treat we were going to go to get frozen yogurt. 

It was also really nice to eat that at our own pace. 

From there we decided we were going to go to Walmart to grab formula then wash our car and go for a walk. When we got to Walmart we saw people we knew and stopped to chat for a while. By that point it had started to rain to we axed the car wash and the walk and just came right home. 

Mom brought rylee back a few minutes after then she bathed her I fed her then she went to bed a bit early since she was so tired from all the fun she was having with Grandma. 

We have a busy long weekend ahead of us and then I think that we finally get a break in our schedule for a few days before I leave for BC. Sean is going to watch Rylee for most of the day on Monday so I can get a bit of me time to unwind from the busy few weeks I've had and to get a bit of a break before I have Rylee to myself for 2+ weeks. 

Talk to you tomorrow! 

HBL challenge update...

I am half way done my HBL challenge today. I have been taking my vitamins every day 3 times a day, having my shakes and my tea as promised - but I have not been doing so well in the evening regarding my food intake.

That being said I am still not noticing any difference in my energy or body. My back is feeling much better but that is because of my physio exercises. I am still feeling extremely lethargic and tired all of the time. I still feel really sluggish too. My joints aren't feeling any better and my over all health is not feeling much better too. The only thing that gives me an energy boost is the LiftOff - which is still my favourite product.

When I started taking HBL the first time I did notice a difference but not one that was massively impressive. I did try the La Bamba diet but did not succeed at that (see post about my attempts).

My doctor has made a referral for me to go see a sleep doctor but I am going to see what I can try to figure out what I can do for myself first (the first apppointment isn't until the end of Aug and that is a LONG time away when I am practically falling asleep at my desk).

I'm not going to lie I was really hoping for better results in my energy with my HBL product challenge, but I will continue as planned and stick it out to see the end results.

I am trying to summon up the energy to go back to the gym too - right now it takes all my energy to finish the stuff around the house and then haul myself to bed. Right now I am so tired that my eyes are watering heavily and it looks as if I am crying.

Tonight Sean and I are going to go to the movies, which we haven't done in a really long time, so hopefully that will be relaxing (even though I am kind wishing we could just stay home and sleep, I know that won't help me). Wednesday night I am babysitting, so weather permitting I will go for a walk with Sammy, Thursday night is soccer practice, and I am planning on the gym for Friday. Working back into it slowly of course.

I think when I get home I will take a shower, shave my legs, and get into comfy clothes for the movie.
