Goodness where do I start. Work for some reason has continued to be crazy busy and more so that Im preparing for a week off. So I have to be pretty much caught up bf I get back. Blah! But its making time go by faster so Im on the beach that much faster :)
Easter has come and gone, as well as Mothers Day.
Which was awesome by the way! For some reason Mothers Day just makes me have this special feeling. Its not aobut the gifts or the cards......I guess it just puts me in a good mood that a Sunday is reserved for us to be a little taken care of. & I was! I got a spa gift card, which totally took me off guard. I swear Tim gets better and better at gifts. Just when I think Ive had enough for a while he surprises me again. Couldnt be more blessed! So Im anxiously awaiting making my appointment. Ill prob wait till we are back from vacay so I have something to look forward to bf our NYC trip.
It was a special first Mothers Day for K as well. Her little Lynlee is growing by leaps and bounds, smiling, cooing, and laughing. Getting more sleep at night and coming out of the NB fog we all know so well. Things are perfect with that little doll.
Since our familes werent close by for the holiday we decided to meet up for lunch with the kids. Then we jumped on the boat to take advantage of the weather! We've tried to take it out every weekend we are home, which thankfully has been a lot lately. We've had a bout of rain we couldnt get rid of that hasnt warmed the water up very much so its just been a ride and no swimming but thats okay too. AT has really been good on these rides. He gets kind of bored but Im sure once the swimming starts up he wont want to go home.
Speaking of AT:
Where oh where has my baby gone? This photo captures him so perfectly. Boo Boo on his knee showing and all. Hand on his cheek showing his curiosity. I just cant get over how things change so quickly. When we moved into our house he was still just a baby. Still had a paci, barely saying a few words, had just started getting more hair. Its all so surreal how much of a "boy" he is. & how handsome! Goodness, Ill say it my kid is a certified cutie!
But with this big boy, Im definitly getting more time to focus on myself and Tim. He is and always will be the center of our little world but since his independence has grown so much focusing on other things have become easier. Not more important by any means but easier.
Working out is still fitting in too our routine. I was worried it wouldnt once the weather got nicer out. But I think we are keeping our dinner, workout/play, bath, play, bedtime routine for the sake of the work week. Its easier now to leave AT outside with Tim when I get home. I can go straight in and begin dinner while he gets a little oustide time in.
Im averaging 3 to 5 days a week for a workout. When I dont or I cant I make sure I stay moving with chores, or outside with AT in the flowers what ever I can find to kep myself from sprawling on the couch. On Fridays Ive been trying to get up when Tim leaves so I can get a quick workout and shower in to start the day. That has been so nice and such a great feeling when I do.
So is all this helping? Am I losing? No.......and Im up a little since my 146 post at 148 even. Bummer huh? I dont see it that way. My clothes fit SO much better. Im able to wear some of smaller clothes that have been tucked away since I got pg with AT, and I just look more toned over all. Im down a size in my bras, and I just feel cleaner and skinner when I look in the mirror. Ive had SO many compliments lately on my weight loss, but its really been inches. I measured a while back and I think I posted I lost 3 inches since last summer or something like that. I really need to measure again.
Im not killing myself with the workouts but they are quality workouts, and Im just eating what I want in a controled manner. I havent changed my cooking or snacking habits, which is prob why I havent lost but you know what Im HAPPY! I feel great and refreshed. Ill take it!
Up next? To the beach! Long week away...we so deserve it. Going to try my best to get morning walks in.
