Well things went south… Details would be boring so here are the highlights 🙂

Parent Life

• breastfeeding beyond one
• trying solids
• teething
• tantrums
• clingy mommy only times

Food

• too much so I’ll show the healthy ish ones and avoid pics of pasta, buttery shrimp, fried stuff, cookies and muffins… (avoids eye contact)

Life Changes

• Weight: 230.2lbs
  • it is 6:38pm PST and I’ve been drinking lots of water but it’s still bad…
• Health/ Fitness: exercised 4 out of 10 days (3/26 – 4/4)
  • big accomplishment considering I haven’t been this consistent in years!
• Note: I was going to write “before pics” as the caption but I already started the journey so these were rightfully captioned “IP (in progress) pics”

Self Care & Balance

Life happened and I wasn’t being balanced. I haven’t been on the diet in weeks, was eating everything in sight (thanks Pinterest not so healthy food pins) and my weight showed it. As of Sunday March 26th, 2017, I stayed awake (son still wakes 2+ times per night), drank coffee possibly ate breakfast then prepared to walk. I didn’t let my son getting back up stop me. I dressed him in his track suit and strapped him into his stroller and off we went. This started a chain reaction which included exercising intentionally, weekly pampering, drinking more water  and eating meals with more attention to health. For now life seems to be all over the place but those are little things I can do no matter what.

What I learned:

• Don’t forget about yourself
• Don’t sweat the small stuff
• Appreciate the present even if it isn’t ideal
• As long as you’re alive you can change things but it is up to you if it changes for good or for bad
