We have a 2 lb change people!!!! Of course that change was a gain and not a loss. HA! I've had a hard time even pretending to watch what I eat these last couple of weeks. We've had 3 birthday parties and have gone out of town twice. Traveling food + yummy birthday cake + too much pizza consumption has done me in. So alas... we begin again. I'll spare a photo because who wants to see a gain? Oy.
Rachel here. Oy. I want to start by saying how blessed I feel to have 3 healthy children, a wonderful husband, and a roof over my head. I am thankful... I swear... but I'm currently having issues. ISSUES! Yep... a whoa is me post, and it will be bulleted. :)
Things that are currently ruining my bliss:
- Reese is out of preschool for the summer. Sick I know. I wish so desperately she was in preschool right now, so the house was just a little bit quieter. In general, she's getting used to our current situation and it's madness, and her attitude has improved. But she still isn't nearly as pleasant as she was. Still picking on her sister... in fact yesterday she bit her. Awesome. We're working on it... daily... every waking moment of every day in fact. We'll get there.
- Our living situation. We're currently in an adorable little house, with GREAT landlords, in a really sweet neighborhood with AMAZING neighbors. So, what's the problem? It's not ours. Stuff is everywhere still, and I feel horrible about it. I get nervous when the girls spill something on the floor or bang something close to the walls. I just want something that is ours that I won't feel like a nervous wreck living in. We can't break ground quickly enough.
- My weight. With both Reese and Emma Grace, I bounced back pretty quickly. I'm a 30 lb gainer while pregnant, and it's always been easy to get back to previous habits and not have to worry about fitting into my clothing. Here I am 6 wks later... still holding my breath while attempting to fit into my jeans. I'm older, 3rd pregnancy, but most importantly... I'm unmotivated. I'm just trying to stay afloat with these three little ladies, creating a temporary home, and keeping everyone entertained long enough to brush my teeth. Losing this last 15 lbs is proving to be difficult to say the least. The easiest way for me to lose weight is through my diet, so I'll be jumping on the Weight Watcher's wagon once again. I LOVE WW. I don't have to change my diet... just my portion sizes, and I don't have to find time to exercise everyday. I've had a lot of success using it and can't wait to get started... after vacation. ;)
I know I have to make the effort to change each of these things, and I'm more than ready. Operation limbo... BEGIN!
