The Skinny On January

Yeah, that’s right, I totally fell off program. Why you ask? Let’s just say a mini break down, melt down, crisis, whatever you want to call it. When I only had 2 children, I felt like something or someone was missing. Long story short, now that I have 3 children, I don’t feel that way anymore. I have reached an "inner" limit of what I can handle for now. Does that mean no more children for us? No. What is means is that right now, to be the awesome mother I know I am I need to do something for me. I’m working that out right now.

In the meantime I am finding my patient self again, thinking of going back to school, trying to find what is true to myself and keeping up on our family blog! See, I have this habit of letting other’s opinions influence me to a fault. As my friend Staci recently told me, "When you are around people who want lots of children, you want lots of children. When you are around people who are working and earning money, then that is what you want to do. You need to figure out what you want to do and stick to it no matter what others are doing or telling you to do!" Thanks Staci, I needed someone other than Brandon to be blunt with me. Brandon and Staci are right and I need to get real with myself and get back to living what is right for me, my core and my Spirit.

Good news…I walked 7 miles this week pushing the kids in a jogger and carrying Annabelle in the Baby Bjorn. Wow, I felt It might as well have been 14 miles! I’m starting to really care about what food I am putting in my body again. I’ll post some pics and recipes soon!
