HALT!

Halt! Stop! Do not pass go-do not collect $200. You heard it right. I have not started yet. It is amazing because Brandon is in this same funk as I am. I know if I kick it into high gear he would climb right on board. I am just tired and feeling burnt out as a parent. I am need of a long non-smokers break from my life as a wife and mama. Do I feel guilty about that? No! I wholeheartedly believed that this assignment was going to be a 3 year vacation, but raising these precious babies is hard work of a different kind. My kids + husband pull me every which way. I know if I cast my burden upon the Lord that He will renew my strength in Him. Am I going into an early mid-life or self-identity crisis.

I know the only way to get the rest of the weight off is to run it off since my eating habits are awesome right now. We have a fish market which sells all the fresh catches of the day. It is a blessing to have fresh seafood daily for cheap if I want. We have cut down on meat to focus on chicken and fish. I do see that I am starting to slowly lose weight just by changing my eating, but know I need to blast it off my body.
