Here let me give you a close up in case you missed it:
It wasn't that long ago that I was an adrenaline junkie always on the search for the next big rush! And never in a million years did I think I'd be where I am today in my life, but I'm happy it all worked out the way it did! I consider myself a very lucky person and am so thankful for all that I have. Let me tell you though I'm glad I went sky diving when I did because having a child kind of changes your perspective on certain things and I might not have been as eager to try it. But I know I will still find adventures to conquer, now I'm taking on the biggest one yet:
Love these guys!
I have been managing to work out but not as much as I had envisioned. My weekday workouts have to be accomplished during my lunch which can be a challenge sometimes. So I've been getting anywhere from 2-4 workouts during the week. Then on the weekends I've been getting a family run in where we take turns pushing the stroller (man that's hard) for about a 2 - 4 mile run on Saturdays and Sundays I escape for an early spin class. The nice thing is that with breastfeeding my growing boy I can still eat what ever I want and lose weight, I'm about 7 lbs. away from pre pregnancy weight which is very exciting. I am fitting in most of my pre pregnancy pants but it does change your shape for ever. I'm ok with that and eventually I will go buy some new clothes.
I have come to terms with the fact that I won't get to do any skiing this season. It's just too hard with a little one I'd have to leave at home and where the heck do you pump? It's more like a milkshake up there in the cold mountains! :-) But I'm ok with that too I can miss a season knowing that soon enough we'll get to take the little man with us and the look on his face when he gets to go down the bunny slope for the first time will be priceless!
So as my year starts to wind down and I look back to what got me here and where I am now, I'm happy! Do I sometimes miss picking up on a moments notice for the next adventure? Sure!! Do I wake up after a sleepless night and look forward to that precious smile on my little guys face? You bet! Everything has a time and a place and I'm so glad I've gotten to experience so much in my life!
