I'm still around... I can't believe it's been so long since my last post! Gosh... time flew even though it didn't seem like it at the time. In just a matter of days my hubby will be with us again. So exciting! I'm doing good... I've just been keeping myself busy since the last time I blooged - to help time fly faster! I've since then joined our local MOPS group. I've been wanting to join it for over a year now but never got the courage to do it because I didn't know anybody... It was hard to actually get out there. I had to make more friends. I wanted to make more friends.
Late last year I had a falling out with a friend I met here who I thought would be like my best friend for life. We hit it off so well... but unfortunately she had other priorities and so did I. We are both in different phases in our lives and it just didn't work. Oh well... I'm ok with that. I just had to make the effort to get out there and meet other Moms who were in the same boat I am in right now. And let me tell you, it was the best thing I could have done! I seriously believe things happen for a reason. Maybe if I'd never had that fall out with her I'd never felt the need to join MOPS and I would have never met the amazing women that are now my friends. AMAZING! They are awesome! They all have kids around the same age as Sofia and we've now become great friends.
So yeah, that's what's been happening to us in the past few months. I also joined a Bible Study group. Unfortunately I had to pull out of that though because Sofia wasn't happy with the day care room they had there for her. It's too small and they mix all the age groups in there. Yeah... I know. Crazy! LOL How can you tell a "pre-schooler" she can't run because she'll fall on an infant that's laying on the floor? Specially when she's in a small room for 2 and a half hours. Yeah... I just had to pull out. I appreciate that it was free but it just wasn't working out for her and I didn't want to put her through that for my sake. Hopefully when she starts school I can join it again. I loved it...
I also joined a workout group that meets at the local zoo here. It's awesome! One of my friends that I met at MOPS told me about it. That's why I love MOPS. I get informed or so much stuff going on around here, it's fantastic! Stuff I didn't even know about... It's free. I joined it and have been doing that for a few weeks but earlier last week I was jogging with the group, stepped in a pot hole and sprained my ankle. Now I'm walking around with an aircast and WILL be for the next 3 weeks or so. Wonderful. LOL
So now I can't jog or walk fast or anything. BOO! I was doing so good on the weight loss thing too. I've lost a total of 18 lbs since my hubby left. I guess this will just force me to do weights and sit ups and stuff.
Other than that, we are great. Connie, thanks for checking up on me. I got your email and meant to reply but I'm horrible with emails these days. I apologize. Hope you're doing great too!
Wow girl, congrats on the weight loss! Glad your hubby will be back soon. Hope your ankle has a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteAna I am so happy you are doing okay (well other than your hurt foot)!!! :) I have a great friend that joined MOPS and she loves it. I would join too but they hold it on days that Peyton is in school. Keep up the good work with your weight loss!! I bet you look great. Can't wait to see more pictures of your beauty Sofia!! *hugs*
