I've been reflecting a lot on how fast life can change. So much has happened over the past two years. I'm in a place now that I never thought I would be. I am a little overwhelmed on how to be a single mom, take care of the house, yard, car. How do I fit time in for myself when I don't have time for all of that and more importantly meetings, study and service.
I remember what I said before. When you take care of yourself, you have more to give to others. I still believe that is true. So I'm going to make some more goals. My weight loss has been extremely slow. Why?....because I am feeding the overwhelmed part of me junk food. Now that I realize what is happening there.....I've lost a few pounds! Yay!! Exercise has been a little rough. The pollen up here has been off the charts and I have felt like I have had a nasty cold for several weeks. But I've also been thinking that weak lungs run in my family. I'm wondering if this is lingering because of lack of exercise, so I've increased that a bit. I haven't had the ability to get out and run. Yesterday I got 15000 steps by doing tons of yard work. That is killing 2 birds with 1 stone. :)...That isn't a permanent fix, but a start in the right direction.
My goals for June. Let go of what I cant control. Enjoy my children and what I have. Strengthen my lungs and start running. And fit into my summer clothes by the end of the month.
Side note.....International Convention is next month. Along with all of my normal things, we will be participating with gift making for the convention and the delegates. I will post pictures. I am also going to research how to combine these blogs of mine so that I only need to maintain one of them. Off to meeting I go!
Here are a few shots to see how we role. :)
To explain the one below....we had had two 80degree days and then this rainy day. This is what living in Washington in May looks like. We are slightly confused!!
I actually got all three boys in one shot looking normal! A huge accomplishment with teenagers!
