Nine to go!!

OK, so my weight loss has sloooowed down quite a bit, but I guess thats to be expected. On the upswing, I am loosing inches! Josh bought me a treadmill and I love, love, love it!! I love to work out but there has always been an excuse. Now its in the basement, not like I really have one now.

Things are just going, going, going right now and I love it but I am feeling the effects of it. I have been worn out the last two weekends and I have been sick with a cold and a stomach bug. If I am going to push myself this hard, I have to take care of myself equally and thats hard I find. So the daycare is in full effect and hoppin, but let me tell you, Pfew, they take it out of me some days. There isnt much fighting, that Sophie isnt involved in. She is kind of a stink like that. She doesnt like to share mommy. Who does?

New Year, New Begining

Happy New Year! It is New Years Day 2009- I cant even believe it. I remember my mom telling me how fast time goes by but I never really believed her- until now. Duncan celebrated his FIRST birthday! I cant believe he is already one. It makes me sad in a way. He is supposed to be my baby- and he isn't any more. He is growing and learning so fast! If only we could get him to gain some weight....The doctor told us at his 1 year check up that there is no such thing as a zero percentile, but if there was one, Duncan would be in it. SO- I really have to try to fatten him up. If only I could just donate some of mine to him.

I have really taken noticed to the fact that Sophie is very grown up and very smart. I need to embrace that and nurture that, but also ensure that she gets to be a kid. I don't want to be a mom that is throwing her into everything because I think she will do well in everything. Take it a day at a time. She is so anxious for preschool and daycare to start back up on Monday. I must admit, I am too! I love having the consistency in a day, a routine, the TV off. It just keeps me SOO busy!!

The New Year is a great time for reflection on the progress that we have made in the last year. Its a really good time to see if there are changes or goals that we need to make. There is a lot to reflect on for me this year. I really want to focus on being IN THE MOMENT for my family. I get so wrapped up in whats going on tomorrow, next week, next payday, that I forget to enjoy right now. I also want this to be the year that my health gets back on track- no matter what that looks like. I hate to call them resolutions, but I guess that's what they are. Anyway, I hope that the next twelve months are happy and healthy for all! Happy New Year!
