Loving life...

I am so loving life lately...what more could I ask for? Chris and I will be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary on Sunday. In September, we will have been together 12 years! Crazy. He asked me if I wanted to get a babysitter and do something this weekend to celebrate, but, honestly, I would rather do an activity with the whole family. Now, don't get me wrong; I love doing stuff with just Chris, but I also don't feel the NEED to get away from the kids at this time. Does that sound strange? Maybe I am not normal. I mean, I have spent almost all day, every day for the past 13 weeks with the girls. Shouldn't I want or need a break? To me, bed time is a break :) They go to bed by 8:30pm usually, and then I get some "me" time. I actually miss my kids when they sleep! Haha. Now I know you are thinking I am one crazy chick...Anyway, I love our Sundays, so I am thinking we will just do our normal thing. Church, Wing Stop, and family time. Maybe we could go to the park or something, too.  

On a different note, I have hit a wall with my journey towards a better me. I had met a personal milestone last week, and then I did what I always have done...stopped trying as hard. What happened next? I gained a few pounds in just a couple of days and, *poof* there went that milestone. I know I haven't made big enough changes for the weight to really start coming off, but I was pretty disappointed in myself when I took a few steps backwards. I'm trying to refocus and really make more changes, especially in the exercise/movement category. I have to be creative, though, as Chris is rarely home to relieve me of mom duties so that I can take a walk or do something active without disruptions. He works every day at Best Buy this coming week, too...boo. Ok, no more excuses! I am gonna get off the couch now and find something to do.

Have a GREAT weekend, y'all!

P.S. Enjoy this picture of my two beautiful Princesses!!! Love them...

  1. I love your contentment at home with the girls, Laura. You are getting to experience what being a full time stay at home mom is like and clearly it suits you well. :)

    I'm right where you are with the weight struggle. Except even when I exercise I really don't lose weight. I gain muscle and burn fat but when the scale doesn't reflect all of the hours I put in to exercising it gets discouraging.
    Consistency is key. Now I just need the motivation!

    Love reading your blog and seeing the photos of the girls. Hope your weekend is great.
    Happy anniversary!!
