Things are finally
starting to settle down and our new home is finally
actually starting to feel like “home.”
We still have a lot to do around the house, but we need a break. The rest of our projects can be weekend only
projects…there’s just not enough time at night during the week, we would rather
focus our time and energy on watching our sweet little girl grow!
Remember my weight loss plan? Well, just go ahead and chalk
that one up…UGH! I’ve probably worked
out a total of FIVE times since giving birth…but when I started my big plan…I
had no clue what all was about to come.
I am still eating like I am pregnant…food is totally my weakness. I’m a few pounds below what I started before I
got pregnant, but now the real work begins!!
Now that the chaos has calmed and we are getting into a routine, I
finally see workouts in my future. We’ve
just been staying up way too late working on the house for me to get my lazy,
un-disciplined booty out of bed in the mornings to workout. And let’s face it…from now until probably
the next 10 years (at least) that is the ONLY time of day that it is going to
be feasible for me to workout. I am and
will probably always be a full time working mama, that means I will never have
the time or want to work out after a full day’s work….that time is too precious
to me and needs to be dedicated to my family.
We are slowly getting back to taking walks (or golf cart
rides) around the neighborhood after work, finally settling on the couch after
we put little C to bed and watching some TV (I seriously can’t think of the
last time I watched a full show from start to end, I haven’t been as faithful
in my Olympic coverage as I would like to be), enjoying having a neighborhood
pool, meeting new people, and soaking up EVERY last bit of sunlight each and
every day with our girl.
I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because I am SO grateful
for all of the exciting changes in our life…but I am SO ready for calm. I am ready for my “normalcy” back. It’s time.
Time to get back to the routine.
The house projects can wait, life doesn’t. I don’t want to look back on this time and
wish I would have chilled out more…so I am making a point to do that now. Just CHILL.
Speaking of watching our sweet girl grow…her latest
trick!!! Of course, she still falls over
more than she sits up…but she’s getting the hang of it!
