Slow Steady Progress

So this is the first time I’ve worn these jeans since before I was pregnant. I got kick-started about a month ago. One of my girlfriends came by the house and was very excited about her Weight Watcher’s program that she had been doing for about a month. It made me really inspired and I asked her if I could tag along!

I was wanting to look better. I was so sick of feeling puffy. Then as the baby has become more mobile, I’m realizing that I need to take care of my body to keep up with my babies. Continue reading “Slow Steady Progress”

Richness in Life

To know that you can confide in someone, have their trust and that they are completely trustworthy as well is such a good feeling.

I have plenty of friends but sometimes even though it’s so much fun to be social and be with a big group of rowdy buddies, I can feel so lost in the crowd. Continue reading “Richness in Life”
