What did the Mommy tomato say to the baby tomato?....Ketchup Which is pretty much how this post will go.
Well shitty news...I've failed my Weight Watchers challenge this month. :( Perhaps taking on one too many challenges was setting myself up for this, perhaps as the reality of lacrosse consuming time and my mind swept up in where my friend could be took it's toll on my blog.

30 Day Marriage Challenge
#10- Today's focus kindness - always something I try to focus on in life
#11- Tell him, "I'm so glad I married you." This is something I say often and he always says 'To Infinity & Beyond :)
#12- Pray for Wisdom in being a wife. It's not always easy but as the years go on we grow together and that really helps in everything going as they are meant.
#13- Do not use sarcasm today with your husband. Gotcha haha.
#14- Remember being a wife is a blessing. It really is. I think of others and how fortunate I am to have my love and soul mate in my life, my best friend to share my days and make memories with. Some haven't found that yet, or thought they did and it didn't pan out.
#15- Think only positive thoughts about your husband. It's easy when I have such an amazing man.
#16- Thank him for all that he does for your family. It's important to tell those in life that they are appreciated and he is.
#17- Laugh with your husband today. Being a Friday made it easy ;)
#18- Who is a wife you admire? Try being more like her today. My girlfriends mother, she gives completely to those around her, keeps a neat home, cooks good food and cares for her husband in all that he does.
#19- Don't ask him to do any chores or 'Honey Do's'. Took it easy and took in extra lacrosse at his request. :)
#20- Today's Focus Patience. I did but it was hard and had nothing to do with him.
#21- Forgive him when he makes a mistake. Part of life is making mistakes to learn and grow.
#22- Assume the best about your husband.
So tomorrow is day #23 for both and today I sit pissed at myself for falling off the weight watchers wagon. I'm hoping this upset just encourages me more to succeed and start new.
What I know is that I need a month to focus away from TV, away from computers and technology and focus on reading and clearing my head and reconnecting with myself. I felt that I was connecting in the past few months and really slipped this month. There's no better time like the present to hit restart though....correct?
Today My Name Is...Ketchup
