So last year, in Feb. I joined KG, Summer and a couple others to loose weight. Well I came in last and only lost a few pounds, and I chalked it up to being in Nursing school and having almost a 1 year old, along with a toddler. So since finishing school and starting my carrer, I still have a good 5 lbs I couldn't get off from when Ally was born, that still wouldn't come off after Brandon.
Either way, I knew Brandon would be going to school this year and I decided that this year was going to be all about getting myself back in order. I had stopped exercising, was eating whatever I wanted and couldnt' remember the last time I had washed my face at night, exfoliated, moisturized, etc.
So, I am proud to say that since starting to work on the day shift, (the end of Jan.) I have lost 25 lbs. I am now down to 148, where I haven't been since I got married 6 years ago. I am looking forward to starting an exercise plan, next week with Brandon's first day at school. I have good out and bought all new rejuvenating products for my face and have already begun, doing the daily regimen of that as well. I feel so much better! I am wearing pants I haven't worn in years and am getting new clothes too.
This comes at a great time since I am saddened that Brandon is going to school now too, and that leaves me at home alone for 4 days a week. I love being a mom and can't imagine being at home without them around, but am going to use this time to try and focus on myself. I think we all need that too and I have left myself neglected for a little while.
Along with this, I am going to volunteer at the kids school and maybe even go back to do a little research at CHOC for about 4 hours of the week. I am looking forward to summer so I can get out and use our pool too.
Otherwise, the kids are great, Mike has stayed SUPER busy, (thank God for every job he gives us) and we will see what the future holds.
Happy June to all!
Here's a fun picture from the week. Allyson loves to dress Brandon up in the princess atire. He wasn't too into this time as he only put on the shirt, but it was still cute.
