I know everyone is mostly tuned into the adoption blog–for which we are grateful. But I have to celebrate my personal accomplishments as well. I braved the scale a few days ago because so many people have said I am looking thinner. To my amazement I have lost more weight. This is a huge blessing since I haven’t had time to “try” in months. Of course, running after four children, forgetting to eat dinner, and scaling the stairs 20 times per day is sure to help.
I have lost 35 pounds since January when I started training for the 1/2 marathon. The best part about it is that I feel so good right now that I am motivated to start exercising again. My schedule with the children doesn’t lend me to much snacking during the day. That has also helped. I still have about 50 pounds to go, but 50 is manageable when I see that I’ve already lost almost that much.
I know I should post a picture, but I don’t really have one ready. I’ll have to go through the recent pictures, and post it next to one of my pre-miscarriage pics from January!
AWESMOME RACH!!! I knew you looked thinner on all the pics from Columbia I could tell just by that! I’m sure in person you are looking even thinner!!! I am so happy for you and so proud of you too! I’m glad you have the desire to exercise again I know you’ll feel even better than you do now if you can imagine that! I have often checked this blog just in hope you’ve updated it and I’m so glad you did to hear this news is just sweet!! Love from Utah we all miss you guys very much!!
You do look great Rach! You have worked hard and now you are super busy. You can totally see it in the Sentencia picture of you.
Congratulations!
You look so good! I hope that we can get some workout time in together. We could go for a walk or have they guys stay home and go to a class at the gym! Keep your energy up! HA!
I am so proud of you!! I wish I was in the same boat! ;) Unfortunately, I am going in the wrong direction.
I love your blogs. What time does Adam go to work in the morning? maybe we could sneak in some really early walks / jogs. I’m in need of some exercise.
You know what? I noticed that too! You really look so fabulous. Keep up the good work. (unfortunely my schedule with MY kids leaves me plenty of time to snack…what. am. I. doing. wrong???)
