What?
Did my 5 year old just ask me that?
How did he find out about McDonalds?
"Oh, buddy, what's that?"
(Yea, good one, mom...play dumb.)
"It's a place where you get a hot wheels car with a cheeseburger."
"Oh!"
"So, can we go?"
"Well, Andrew, the food there isn't very healthy and I can just go get you a hot wheels car at a toy store without buying food there."
"How did you learn about this place, buddy?"
"Youtube."
Of course ;)
Well...we made it 5 1/2 years without that conversation (which, of course, was bound to happen). #becausekidsknowstuff
He asked us again tonight at dinner if we could go to McDonalds when we go to Singapore again (a frequent place for us when we have to leave our country because of visa issues). I told him "ok, Andrew, if you want to go...I can take you and show you. But, you know, they don't have hot wheels all the time...it's just certain times."
"But you said the food wasn't good. Let's not go."
Whew.
Also, this past week our language teacher stunned me with these words: "oh, so you can eat vegetables raw...uncooked?"
:)
In other news, month 1 is over for the Shred program. I'm restarting it tomorrow (and with another mama friend!). Here's the details on the end of month one:
19.5 inches lost
8.7 pounds lost
And, I know I can do 165 pushups in one workout session. The next day I went to do just like 25 and my body was like "what in the world are you doing to us?".
Things I learned:
1. I still got it ;)
2. Feeling strong is awesome.
3. I especially love high carb day.
4. Even repeating the same meals over and over (only because of not too many options here...not because meals weren't creative...Steph is awesome with meal planning!)...I've got the mind discipline to keep going!
5. I need more sleep. (Looking at you, Lydia Grace!) This totally affects me in every way (including having more inflammation with my RA).
6. I'm considering adding some yoga or tai chi into my routine. Some friends have been sharing benefits of it for dealing with an autoimmune disorder and stress. Looking into it...
7. Drink as much water as you can!
8. Best days this past month: hitting below pre-pregnancy weight and running for 40 mins (haven't done that in a while b/c of baby and RA).
Round two begins in the morning. Not looking to change too much from this past month - just do a repeat. Keep the water intake going and complete all the workouts again.
