It has been been a while....like I said I am more the busy these days. I have been feeling rather great until the last three days. Just that delightful pregnant discomfort that tends to happen in the last few weeks.
The good news in all this, my great feelings for the past two months has left me with no weight gain at all. I have managed to go to the gym and eat very healthy. ( ok so the eating hasn't been as good the closer we get to Christmas)
All I think about is getting into shape and feeling healthy after this baby comes out. As I watch my daughter who is almost 4 grow more and more everyday I want nothing more then for her to be healthy. I want her to have a good body image of herself and health in general. She is such a picky child and feeding her is beyond a chore. She loves vegetables and fruit...and yes that's great. I know so many people have issues with kids not wanting to eat the good stuff. The problem with her is trying anything new and eating protein....if it isn't a chicken nugget or a fish stick...its war. The other issue........the crap. She loves crap. Ohh you know CANDY and CHIPS and SPRITE!!!
So as the new year approaches and the new family member will make his debut I think this is the perfect time to make new resolutions. Something for the family to strive for.
For my daughter the changes now are easier then when shes an overweight teen trying to reverse the damage that I have already helped her do. For Lincoln , well he doesn't have to do anything at all. Instead the goal is that he grows up in an environment where healthy lifestyles are just the norm. '
For my husband ....well that takes explaining. He is currently out of work due to a back injury at work. Its been two months and its stressful at times. Mostly painful and annoying for him. He has a lot of PT and is now trying to lose weight and strengthen his core. ( Dr.'s orders) Although his weight is not the direct reason of the injury, he has very physical job, it doesn't help. Having to drag around an extra 70 pounds doesn't make it feel any better. '
So the goals are clear...we all get healthy. AND I CAN'T WAIT!
The way that I miss a good workout...the kind where you sweat and go until you literal fall off the machine. Ohh I miss it so much...its an addiction that I just can't break and honestly never want to.
The only thing left to figure out is what are my specific goals...What do I want to accomplish with my fitness?? 5 5K's? Half Marathon? Yoga? Crossfit? ALL OF IT!!
I'm a " Goal Oriented, Chart using, Organized" kind of gal so I'm sure it will all be displayed colorfully on my wall to remind me everyday....maybe with some glitter. Everyone needs some glitter!
