Getting better…

So as my loyal readers know, things have busy and kind of rough around the Jones’ residence lately. I decided with the help of my husband, that if things are going to get better around here, I have to make it happen. It’s not going to just happen on its own. So, that’s what I’ve been doing. While I can’t control what goes on around me, I can control how I react to it and I CAN control making myself a better person. That being said, I’ve recently started working out again. I’ve been going to Curves three times a week and doing their circuit three times each visit, even though two times around is considered a full circuit. I’ve also been portioning my food…i.e., not eating two or three times what I should be. Speaking of food, I’ve been making better choices regarding what I eat. While we still do go out to eat, I’m eating healthier when we do. I’ve also been more diligent at my skin care routine. To be honest, these changes have not been hard at all and I’ve felt a lot better because of them. During my first full week at Curves, I lost 2.5 lbs. That was a huge motivator. I’ve been sleeping so well too…it’s been great. This weekend, I’m taking time off to jumpstart my relationship with John again. We’re having a baby-free date night AND Jj will be spending his first night away from home in his almost 18 months here.
