Hello! I'm happy to report that my weight loss goals are clicking along. I DID see 179 on the scale one morning but that was after a night that I fell asleep without eating dinner. Having an 8.5 month old will do that to ya. Part of me wanting to "look" better is so that I will have positive perceptions of myself and that will be passed along to my son in that he will have the sense that his mom is a healthy person both inside and out. I want him to feel this way about himself. So, it's not just getting to a certain weight at a certain time (out goes the 10 lbs. by Xmas goal).
I'm still finding my footing as a parent and I have allowed myself to be derailed by criticism. Who hasn't? Lack of sleep has been playing a huge part in me feeling off, I know why they use sleep deprivation as a form of torture for prisoners now!
Through my continued commitment to follow my Walk in Loveliness motto, I'm confident that I will stay on track. OK, so maybe my confidence is a little shaky at times but I'm a rock at my core even though I may melt into tears every now and again or daily.
Other people are not the enemy and I have been targeting others instead of working on myself. This is a process and I will move through it in my own way. I love being a mom and this has been an 'in your face' experience so far! I"m dazzled and amazed every day.

Hey Laura...Sending you hugs and support.
My weight always goes up and down (as you may remember)and still does :(...guess that's one thing these 2 Irish girls have in common...lol
I always think about calling you, but we're usually running here and there and where talking on a cell phone wouldn't be practical. By the time I can call (when I'm done helping w/ homework, getting son to bed, doing laundry, etc.)it's pretty late. Anyways, we do need to touch base one of these days, it would be great to touch base.
Hope all is well with you, your husband and son. It's hard to believe that he's almost 9 months old...WOW...time is flying by!
Take Care,
Paula
Just stopped by to check up on you and it sounds like things are going pretty well. Sleep deprivation is the worse part of being a new mom. Once you start getting better rest it all falls into place.
Happy new year!
