After the Wedding…

Posted by Von Battle

I got married only two years ago, and ever since then I've had a really hard time keeping off weight. I would say I've gained close to 50 pounds since my wedding, but I'm only guessing since I can't bear to step on a scale. My husband is a personal trainer which makes the whole thing even harder, and I finally broke down last week and asked him for help. He said he would be glad to start a moderate exercise regimen with me every day and we vowed to each other to start making healthier meals for dinner each night. Being HERE al! l day with our son makes it hard not to snack, but I've been using our wireless Internet to try and look up Healthier meal options to prepare my family each night. I think I lost a little bit of weight this week, but I'm not going to put the cart before the horse and get overly excited yet. Once I can fit back into my wedding dress I’ll really know I've succeeded.

Planning Ahead

My BF and I are slowly starting to look into life insurance. We are taking things step by step and trying to do them in order, so we'll get married, get a bigger place (or vice versa), etc. Eventually life insurance will fall into it. It would be nice if we could get one of those guaranteed issue life insurance things but I think we're too young for that, possibly. We'll see what we end up doing, but at least we're in the right direction!

The ER

Something DD really liked when she had to go to the hospital was seeing people push around those Howard healthcare carts. She really wanted to play with everything that was in them and push all the buttons on the computers. It was too funny. At one point someone asked her if she wanted an ultrasound, since that's what he was transporting LOL. That kid, I swear...

Tired!

OMG I'm pooped! Today was a day of child craziness, I tell ya. I'm not sure how I'll be able to keep up with both a 4 and 5 year old at the same time, everyday, but I'll have to figure something out. I think it'll be a lot easier when they both go to school and there will be a schedule overlap of some kind. Hopefully I can keep up with my workload too, there's so much that needs to be done in a day now that I don't have any time to myself at all. Talk about a change in events.

Saved Stuff

I just found a bunch of lingerie that I had saved from when I gained weight. It may sound funny to save something like that but these were expensive ones that I really liked. I had no idea how many I had! There was a decent sized box of all sorts of things from bras to camouflage panties LOL. I didn't even know I had those. It's funny what you find among your own treasures.

Warm Weather Shopping

I need to get DS a bunch of new clothes soon. He's grown out of everything he had, by a lot. He isn't the typical teen who wears those funny shirts with sayings on them, he's very plain and rather boring. LOL It's fine with me but he could use a little more personality in his wardrobe sometimes. I think we should be able to find a lot of things at a lower price right now since the season has already started and that's always a plus.
