In other news, I have decided it is time to make a commitment to myself. I have been talking about losing weight, eating right and exercising, so far, I have failed at all of these items. I am not grossly overweight or anything, I just feel like I need to do this for me and our future child. I am going to have to teach this child the proper way to nourish his little body and keep it fueled, he is not going to learn that unless I do this for myself. It's not that I don't know these things, I just don't do them, my excuses..........laziness and stress. Are those valid, yeah sure, if I don't want to get anywhere with my health. Again, it is not that I am unhealthy, I just know I could eat healthier and take better care of myself. I deserve it and my child deserves it too. So, I am going to start putting some new, healthy food choices into my diet. Thank you Kara, you are an inspiration. I am vegetarian so, you would think I would be skinny as a rail, well, I love chocolate and soda, that definitely hinders my diet!!
I want to run a 5k within the next year and I want to eat healthy and be at a weight I am comfortable at. So, that is my new beginning, I will have one last pow wow this weekend and then on to a new way of fueling my body, less junk in, less junk out!!! I want to have my engine revved and my body raring to go when this child comes!!! I will need all the energy I can get to keep up and I am looking forward to that!!
you can do it! i know you can!!!
ReplyDeleteand yeah, i guess you just have to find another approved agency to just do post-placement stuff... that's kinda strange since they won't know you, but i'm sure it'll work out fine! besides, by then, your baby will be home and all will be great!
Thanks Jenny!
ReplyDeleteI am glad in a way that we did not use the agency to do the whole adoption, I would be freaking out right now. I hope the director over this area finds a job somewhere else, she was really nice.
Geesh, that is stressful they are closing, and yea, so good you did not use them for the whole process!!
ReplyDeleteI know all about losing weight - I had 50lbs. to lose after Anderson. YIKES. My thing - Leslie Sansone's walk away the pounds videos. Love them, really get you into shape and you can pop one in and do your workout super fast.
Good luck on your goal - you can do it! It is a great goal to be healthy - Daniel and I are doing that for the new year. Fat free vanilla yogurt is really good with granola on top!
