Nathaniel’s getting better and better at rummaging through stuff and expressing himself. I love this in general but it’s hard on some of the longer, tiring days.
I wanted to get some nice shots of David but he wouldn’t let me.
And then he gave me that sneaky smile. The one I love.
Nathaniel wasn’t happy I got between him and Thomas.
And got wildly dramatic so I just walked away and let him have it.
I have really strong allergies (or a cold) so I’ve had nonstop headache for two days in a row now. It’s no fun. What is fun though is that my class started and it’s wonderful! I love love love it.
Tonight’s plan is book club! So I need to get my stuff together quickly so that I can go and come back and go right to bed. I need all the sleep I can get lately since I am not all that well.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that my class is finally open. I’ve been waiting for it for so long.
2. I am grateful that it’s one more day and I get to rest some. Even though the weekend is a bit more hectic than usual, I love the rest.
3. I am grateful that we have book club tonight. I am dreading it a bit at the moment but I know I will love it when I go.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that in two days I have my birthday party {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I made a chain of hearts in art class
3. I am grateful that i got creature power at school (dragon fly).
Hi Karen,
Don’t be discouraged about the weight loss, it may not even be what you are eating that’s doing it. When you build muscle, you are improving your health, but it may cause you to gain a bit of weight, since we’ve all been told that muscle weighs more than fat. And you don’t really need to see a big change in your muscle tone for that to be the case, the fact that your stamina has increased says that you are doing good things! And remember, as you increase your level of fitness, you metabolism will speed up a bit, so it will burn fuel more efficiently. That means if you eat a bit extra it won’t necessarily have a detrimental effect. It’s all good!
And by the way, I’m proud of you. I know how hard it is to stay committed to exercise, and I’m with you, it’s never fun or easy. But you are doing great!!! Have a wonderful weekend!
