Here I am, my first posting for the new year. It sure did take me long enough! Actually, with everything that's going on lately, I'm lucky to have the time to sit and blog at all!
My youngest daughter is currently hitting a major milestone.... WALKING! So, I've been running around after her, trying to prevent any bumps and bruises. Unfortunately, those can't always be avoided and she's gotten her share of them! On top of that, she's also teething something fierce. At only 11 months old, she's got 11 teeth with 3 more coming in! She's also having a bit of separation anxiety, which keeps me at her side a lot before she drifts off into a deep sleep. I'm too much of a softy to let her cry it out. So, she's pretty overwhelmed at the moment, as well as myself.
To top that all off, seeing that we are in the middle of cold and flu season, both my girls have gotten sick. Now, 2 weeks later, both my husband and I are sick while the girls are just now getting better. Go figure! But seeing as we never get time off as parents, we have to suck it up and stick it out. I'm definitely grateful that I'm feeling pretty good after only 2 days of really bad sick days!
On the good side, I've managed to get out of my 3rd week stall on week 5, I reached my first mini goal and I lost my first 20 pounds! I've also lost over 34 inches so far and I am feeling healthier, more energetic and my mood has been in a better place lately too!
Life definitely throws some unexpected curve balls. The best way to get through some of my situations is to tell myself that "it's only a phase". I know that things can only get better and I will definitely be reaping the rewards of my efforts in the end.
