One Step At A Time...

I was sitting on the couch when I overhear this convo between Cohen and Lily. C- I came from Mama's belly. L- (mumbling in Liliananese ;) ) yup C- Mama came from my belly and you came from Dada. L- OHHHHHH Never thought my 3 yr old would be giving my 19 month old that kind of talk LOL. Too bad he is severely misinformed. Gotta love them!

Why will my children not listen to me? I feel like I am talking to brick walls somedays! Is it just my kids? I am at my wits end with them. Maybe I will order earaids for them for Christmas. Well that is my rant for today!

I gained this week. :-( Oh well, I just have to work harder this week!!! I can do it!

Tonight my inlaws took the kids so Adam and I could go to my uncle's nomination convention. We went out with family for Timmy's afterwards. It was so nice to have that break!! I feel like my sanity is mostly restored! I mean I love my kids but I was in serious need of a break!

I am exhuasted today to really write. 2 sick grumpy kids + sick me = long tiring day! I did manage to do some yoga which helped some. It is only going to get better, right?

Today is a bad day. I am sick with allergies and really stressed out. I just feel like I cannot cope. The kids have gone insane with bad attitudes and being toddlers! I just want to sleep for 3-4 days and wake up to my life being normal again. I know everyone has these days but it is just hard for me to cope with them.

4 things I am thankful for today 1. My healthy kids who are growing up way to fast! 2. My wonderful family who love and support me! 3. My amazing husband who loves and supports me everyday. I am so glad God gave me a man who works hard and takes good care of his family. 4. God who gives me the strength to get through everyday! Last night, I cheated on Jillian lol. I did my yoga instead! My body felt like it was all tighten up and needed a good stretch. I feel so relaxed after I did it. Tonight I am back on the shred though!

I got my 3 month measurements done last night. I lost 5.5 inches off my waist!!!!! I also dropped my over all fat percentage by 2 points!! I am losing on my bicep fat too. My blood pressure dropped and I feel great!!

I am so proud of myself! As some of you know, I have been battling depression for awhile. I have been on meds for 6-7 months. Today I got the energy and the want-to get up and clean my house! I am finding that I am having more good days than bad! I feel like I finally want to take of myself and my family.

Ok, I have been a bad girl. I did not workout all weekend. Mind you, I did completely rearranged 3 complete rooms. I am getting back on that wagon and getting my butt moving!

Meet Jack ( formerly known as Max)! He is golden retiver/chow chow mix. He is just the sweetest boy! He does not bark and is house trained. He is our new baby!

I cheated last night and did not workout. I was exhuasted and sore. My body screamed for a break so I went to bed early. Today, I feel better and cannot wait to workout later. I started reclaiming my house from the kids. I am moving all of their toys to their bedrooms. Eventually when they are bigger, they will all go to the playroom downstairs. My living room looks so much bigger! Now I just may rearrange furniture. Adam is going to love me lol!

Well Adam and I did day two of the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred last night. I am so feeling the pain today. Thankfully it is a good pain and I cannot wait to workout again later. Wow, words that I never thought I would say or type. I am changing my thinking already!

Lately, I have been feeling lost. I have been battling depression for a few months and finally am starting to feel like the real me. I think I have lost who I am. I have become so concentrated on my kids that I pushed my needs to the back burner. I am finally taking control of my life. I am losing weight slowly but surely. I am down 12 in 3 months and around 10 cm off my waist. I am excerising more and trying to eat better. I am starting to feel good about who I am as a person! I know I can do this because I have an amazing support system behind me who love me, no matter what!

I pray you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. I hope you got to spend it with the ones that you love. I also hope you celebrated the real reason for the holiday. I am so thankful for all my blessings and a Savior who loves me so much that He gave his life for mine.
