So today I took Derek to his 4 month old well-baby check up appointment. Can't believe he is 4 months now and I'm ecstatic about it. Just think, within the next couple of months he will be crawling and eating food! Oh ya, and we are officially 1/3 of the way through the first year. I'm not a baby person so I don't enjoy the first year much. I am more of a toddler gal. Taison is doing a lot better with the whole Derek situation now. I think we are out of the worst now and he seems to really dig him more every day. Rice won us a free laptop by accident and it came yesterday! It is what I am using to write this on right now. We're going to share this one and I can use it at school if I need to. Exciting!! I am slowly getting back to my self again. I think I will get there a lot faster this time around. With Taison I didn't even start doing any "Abby" activities until Taison was a little over a year old. The one thing that is not going so well is the weight loss as I have been 185 for a month now. BUT, I can't really blame anyone but myself because I haven't been eating consistently well yet. I also have not been drinking enough water. Soooo, what can I do to alleviate this little issue? I need a new water bottle...and maybe a chart of some sort on the fridge to keep me motivated for awhile. As far as eating, well, I need a meal plan basically. Before I do that though I need to figure out how many calories I need right now. Always fun to guess at this number when your breastfeeding. I've also been doing a little work on my time management. I have been keeping tabs on my activities and as it turns out I DO in fact have time for everything I want to do. I just don't have seemingly endless blocks of open free time like I did before Taison and Derek came into the picture. What I'm trying to say is that I can do it all, but just in small increments during each day. The one thing I haven't picked back up yet is sewing. I could easily do one step a day on a garment and finish it in a week or two, I'm just trying to decided if the payoff is good enough giving that I am losing weight and won't be able to wear it for long.
Okay what do I want to get done soon...
-pluck eyebrows
-finish and put up trash bag Halloween decorations
-do a run/walk
-do a 10 min. stretch
-do some light strength training
-cook dinner
-do a couple of 20 min cleaning blocks
-find and purchase Derek a Gator's shirt
-shave
-FINISH MY RECERT for NASM!!!
-Call UNF and make sure I am ready to go for spring registration
These are those moments when I look at my list and realize that if I didn't have small children I could easily get all of this accomplished in one day. Buuuuuuut, I don't. My reality is that my little one just got shots today so he will probably have a low grade fever today, tonight, and maybe some of tomorrow and my little toddler wants to do what he wants when he wants which pretty much is playing outside ALL day.
I think that concludes my random thoughts of the morning so far. Peace out and see you next time.
