Sorry I haven't blogged in a few weeks but I injured myself again while working out and just felt blah.
Let's just start with the disappointments first:
1. I know God does things for a reason and there is a valuable lesson to be learned in every situation life hands you, but sometimes I just don't get it. I have a client whom had a baby 22 months ago, she is a meth addict and of course her baby was born with drugs in his system and he has developmental delays. Just to give you an ideal of how developmentally delayed he is, he is 22 months and doesn't walk yet. Well this same mom, just had a baby this week, he weighed 4lbs 11 oz, with drugs in his system, and he is unable to control his body temperature and feed. In both children mom says she didn't even know she was pregnant. How does this happen? Why does this happen? Who's learning the lesson here? I have several friends and relatives that had such a difficult time getting pregnant, keeping a pregnancy, and some have given up on having their own biological baby that they are waiting to adopt a baby. These friends and relatives are college educated, God fearing, law-abiding, and decent people. Although this happened 2 days ago, I'm still in shock mode that this mother is able to get pregnant and claim to not know she was pregnant BOTH times, continued to do drugs, AND carried almost full term babies that survived. God bless these children that although they were abused since conception, they made it, they survived, and hopefully there will be a loving home awaiting for them tobe adopted. And shame on the mother who continues to be destructive with her life and body which then carries on to a child. But as the ideal person I want to be, I can't look down upon her as this can easily be done, all I can do is continue to help this family and pray for the family.
2. When will people grow up? There are a couple of people (I won't name names, but you know who you are) that feel they can just tease others (myself). Does it make you feel good to tease another person? Does it bring some sort of happiness when you tease someone? What does it accomplish? I know when I was younger I teased people, but now that I'm older, I need to set a good example for my children so I have choosen to respect people because I want my children to respect others. I do not want them to become bullies and since I can only control my actions, I will simple ignore those rude comments that are directed my way. I will try to be the bigger person (although sometimes it kills me) and ignore. I wouldn't want to set a bad example to my children.
3. So about 2 weeks ago, I got injured working out again and this is such a big disappointment because I want to so badly lose weight and be healthy, but these injuries are just setting me back! I took 2 weeks off and returned to the gym yesterday. My knees and calves feel weak, but I have to build them up and make them strong. I can't let these injuries get me down. I have to push forward.
Now moving forward with the accomplishments:
1. My baby Rene just completed his 1 year of preschool and although it is such a big accomplishment for him and us to have made it through 1 year of preschool, it was so sad for him because he won't be seeing some of his friends again. I have seen tremendous growth in my son this past year, he started out not knowing how to write his name, now he knows how to write it and spell it. I'm amazed at all the other stuff he has learned, about insects, sea animals, new songs, space, different occupations, and much more!
2. My Olivia is slowly moving away from her terrible twos. Her little terrible twos behaviors have subsided recently and she is back to being my loving baby girl. I'm not going to lie that she's totally free of behaviors because no child is free from behaviors, but she has improved on her behaviors and she is becoming a little girl that is loving and caring to others. And that's all I can hope for in my children.
3. Since I started on this weight loss thing, I have lost 12 lbs, 27.5 inches (throughout my body), and 5% body fat! I'm super excited and know that this is just the beginning but WOW! Keeping pushing forward!
