Sorry

Hi again, everyone. Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. I have been really busy, plus Eli hasn't been napping very well, which adds up to not much getting done. But I promise to do better. What have you been doing, you ask? Well, mostly I've been really busy at the gym. I started at nutrition and fitness challenge at the end of September. I work out twice a week with the trainer and I usually go 4 other times and do cardio on my own. It's taken a lot of my time, but been totally worth it. I really needed to do it for myself: it gives me time to myself, and Eli time to play with other kids and get used to being in the nursery, plus I really needed to get in shape! But we had our final body comp and fitness test last week. I lost several inches all over, 20 pounds, and 7% body fat (which I was most happy about, since that means I converted a lot into muscle)! And I actually ran the entire mile of our fitness test (and I hate treadmills). So I was very proud of myself. I am going to do the program again when it starts mid-January, and until then I have hired a trainer and am still doing cardio on my own.
But we've also been busy with the normal holiday chaos. We put up our tree in the living room, instead of the family room this year to keep a certain little someone (Eli) out of it. It's worked out great, since I don't have to worry about him pulling off all the ornaments or unwrapping all of the presents.
Like I said, I promise to post more often again. I am done Christmas shopping and wrapping, so I really do have more time! Hope to hear from you all soon!
