I feel like a total slacker! It’s been what, a week, since my last post? Yeah, life is chaotic as always! I’m still running, still doing everything I can to burn off the extra pounds. I acquired a Wii Fit and have added that to my fitness regime. I just started Week 3 of the Couch to 5K and did it Friday & yesterday. I’ll probably do it a couple more times then move on to week 4. I made my own week 3 podcast with some of my favorite music on it…U2, Coldplay, Kelis, Beastie Boys, some Grey’s Anatomy faves and more. It’s nice to have my own music!
And speaking of that, I’ve been a little discouraged because the weight isn’t coming off. BUT, my pants are getting really big on me! I bought a pair of capris a size smaller than what I was wearing before I got pregnant and they are already 1-2 sizes too big. I am trying not to focus on the number I see on the scale and instead on how I feel and how my clothes are fitting but I admit it’s hard. I need to face the fact that I may not lose much weight as long as I’m breastfeeding (at least not like I want to!) and just ignore the stress of the numbers. Easier said than done!
Other than that, I have been busy with the year-end events at my oldest son’s school. His play was Friday, and the awards ceremony is tomorrow. He is receiving the “Citizen” award, which I’m told is the highest award possible for a kindergarten student. I am very proud of him! I admit that I wasn’t entirely sure about sending him to public school. Homeschooling is my ideal but I thought he may be one of those kids who thrives at school. I’m glad that my instincts proved right! So in July he’s on to 1st grade…I almost can’t believe that my first baby is old enough to be starting 1st grade, but he is. I wish I could slow down time for just a little while.
And…my husband is now a licensed real estate agent in the state of NC! This is something he’s wanted to do for a long time (before he got laid off) and he decided now was as good a time as any. So if you want to sell or buy a house, let me know. I can put you in touch with him. He’s one of the hardest working people I know, and I’m not just saying that because he’s my husband! It will really help us get back on our feet after this year of unemployment. And if you don’t need to buy or sell a house, we’ll take your prayers, good thoughts and support. It’s a little scary but we’re trusting that we deserve some good in our lives and really believe things will work out!
