Well it's been just over one month since Chris and I started eating healthy and exercising. The results thus far: Chris has lost 21 pounds by eating very healthy, I am so proud of him! Also, his blood pressure is back to normal! He has a very strong willpower and is very motivating to me. I have lost 12 pounds by eating healthy, working out 30 minutes 3-4 times a week, and having the stomach flu for 10 days! The numbers aren't where I'd like them to be, but I am trying to be patient. As the saying goes, I didn't gain all my weight in one month, so it's certainly going to take longer than that to lose it!
Everything else is going pretty well too. Chris is staying busy with work and school, he only has 3 classes left to complete his MBA! I have to brag a little, he has made straight A's the entire program, while working 45-50 hours a week. I'll be the first to admit that I couldn't do that! He is very dedicated and I am so proud of him! I am still enjoying every minute of being home with Ayden, I could definetely do the stay at home mom thing long term, but our future plans necessitate me returing to work at least part time. I start back to work the 20th of this month in my previous position in Labor and Delivery. I am actually looking forward to seeing all my friends again and getting back into a routine. I am going to be working "flex" which means I am only required to work 2 days a month, but can work as many more as I want and I can choose the days I want to work. This position may require some night shifts but I am okay with that for the short term, Ayden is sleeping all night now anyway. I will definetely miss being with him 24/7 but I am hoping this position will work out well for all of us.
This cold, gray weather is getting very old...we are so ready for some warm springtime weather so we can start spending time outdoors with Ayden! We are flying to Houston the first weekend of April to see my best friend Melissa and her family. We are so excited! I can't believe Ayden is almost 6 months old and that I have been off work since the end of last July! Time sure flies when you're having fun! :)
