Mini Update!

I realize that I haven't posted a blog in AGES! A quick update, as I need to get into the bathroom and get ready for work- clock's a ticking!

Things are going well on the home front- it's been hard getting used to the fall weather! I've been pretty committed to eating well and exercising everyday for the last two weeks, which has definitely been a good lesson in patience! I always think that I'm going to drop TONS of weight right away then get frustrated when it doesn't happen fast enough. Grrr...Especially when I feel like I'm killing myself on the treadmill! Patience! I just I'm down a few pounds, so I can't complain :) I think my scale is out to get me or something, but the last weight that I saw that I liked was 142. So, not bad. Not great, but not bad. The weekend was not good for me and my diet, so I'm not surprised that the number it threw at me yesterday. Maybe this morning will be better. sigh...need to remember slow and steady!

We're rounding the four-week mark of everything...I feel like it needs a nickname or something. Anyhow. We're feeling well and really looking forward to trying again soon! More to say, but for now I need to get ready. Talk about procrastination!

Okay, seriously.

Thankfully, the surgery went well and I had absolutely no problems, an easy recovery and minimal pain. I am pretty sad over everything that's happened in the last few weeks, but seriously, I need to get a grip. As sad as I am, I can feel myself sinking and I don't want to go too far. Really, I just want to put the whole thing behind me. So, I've decided to take it in stride and try to figure out the best thing I can do for myself right now.

Since Koa and I will definitely be trying again as soon as we can, I figure the best thing that I can do for my body and our future baby is to get back on track with fitness and my weight. My hormones are still completely raging right now and I still feel and look as though I have a baby in me. I've put on quite a bit of weight this year and it's extremely frustrating, especially after working so hard last year to drop the weight. We are supposed to wait 6 weeks until we try again, and since I was taken by surprise by the first pregnancy (that sounds weird), I did not have the chance to lose a little weight like I had wanted. So, thinking on the positive side and since we can't try for a awhile anyway, what am I waiting for? Nothing crazy, I'd just like to get back to my old size (and my beloved skinny jeans). Feeling bad about myself is the last thing that I need right now- time to get on the stick! I know what works and now I just need to do it. Calorie counting and treadmill- here I come....starting tomorrow :)

Oh yes, the change in graphic...I've been debating on changing the title of the blog, but decided in favor of just the graphic because by His grace, I'll be back to blogging about babies soon :)

The day ahead

Fill my heart with faith. Be near me in times of weakness and pain. Although I know You are in control, I am apprehensive about what faces me. You made me, loved me, and have provided my surgeon with needed skill to perform a miracle in my behalf. Sustain me by Your grace that my strength and courage may not fail; Heal me according to Your will.
