First, Will is doing great. He had his 6 month check up today and he's still way off the charts and looking very healthy. He's now just a little over half a lb away from being 25 lbs, which is crazy because three year old Katie is only 3 lbs heavier than that! He's also almost 30 inches long. He's going to be a big bruiser!
As for me, I'm finally getting back to the body I've been working months for. Thanks to budget cuts, I've been able to go without chocolate or desserts during the week for a few months now. We hardly ever eat out. While time is very tight because Will NEVER wants to be put down right now, I've developed a system that lets me exercise multiple times a day.
There's still a lot of work I want to do, I'm no where near done, but this is definitely encouraging to me. Instead of trying to work off fat or trim here and there, I'm now at the starting point to really build up my body. I have a daily routine that I'm going to keep building up as I go.
At the same time, I'm also trying to find a mental balance. I need to be discontent enough to want to keep pushing so I can make a good body a really strong, high performance body. But sometimes I have found that I'm pushing too hard and I get too down about what I've already accomplished. I forget to enjoy that I've at least come this far, and that my body isn't bad looking. It's just not my perfect image yet. Sometimes I forget that not being my perfect image does not equal looking bad, so I'm working on that too.
Here's me from today, 6 months PP.
