Wow, yeah it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. Had some real life issues happen – like the kids going back to school, Cat her and pending braces, and sadly my mother having a stroke. My husband had to come home on emergency leave from Korea to help out, but she’s improving every day and we’re thrilled she’s doing so much better.
As for me – I’m up to working out four times a week: 1.5-2 mile run at 5mph and an all over weight lifting work out that culminates into a 45min work out. Four times a week is rough, I won’t lie, but I’m keeping at it. I fit comfortably into a size 12 and I think I need to buy a smaller bra – 36 DD. The girls are still large, but at least my chest width is getting smaller – that’s a first, let me tell you. I’m starting to see muscles in my arms and my thighs, but after six months, it’s about damn time!
My husband finally had quite a bit to say after not seeing me since July and about -15lbs lighter and definitely toner. He keeps looking at me and grabbing my butt – “where did it go?” He’s a naturally quiet guy who clams up if socially he’s expected to react a certain way (everyone asked what he said in July and he was just too shy to really say anything lol) but this time I really wasn’t expecting him to say anything. I was just so wrapped up in my mother, I even forgot about sex! But he’s been nothing but doting, supportive, and loving. Whew. I’m so lucky to have him.
I only got to work out once this past week, but that’s because I’ve been spending all my time in Seattle with my mother. Now that Mike is returning to Korea for his last 6 weeks tonight, I’ll be able to return to my normal schedule with the kids since I won’t have the day care for them to make sure they get to school and get home on time. It’ll distract me from my mother’s plight, but I wish I could be with her all day/night.
That’s it, will blog more soon =)
