Which I need badly.
It's been a rough few months. Between my husband being stressed about his job and occasionally ill, and my two miscarriages, we haven't lost any weight. If anything, I'm embarrassed to say I've gained a few more. Boo! Boo you weight gain. Boo you.
Thankfully, my husband was blessed to find a wonderful job which he started today. And we've been making lots of progress in the healing process emotionally. All of these have contributed to me and my husband starting a fresh new health chapter. We're focusing more on our health and our fitness than on our appearance and pant size. Which I find refreshing and much less stressful emotionally and mentally.
Calorie counting, watching car carb and fat consumption, lean meats, and lots of veggies, with occasionally cheats (because we are only human and it's holiday time...), and plenty of exercise is our couples fitness plan. A plan that we can adhere to since I'm able to work from home. Gives me plenty of time to research and food prep. I feel really good about it.
Since we've decided to hold off on starting our family, it gives us time to get our health and fitness back in order and spend some quality time in our marriage before we add any little ones. It also gives us the chance to focus on our spirituality and our relationship with God. Since my husband has recently converted to the LDS church, one of our goals as a couple is to be able to go to the LDS temple and be sealed as a family for eternity.
Life is such a wonderful and precious gift. And I am so very grateful for the innumerable blessings that God has blessed our family with.
I love and appreciate all of you who support and encourage me and my husband as we continue our journey.
Have a wonderful day and week! Be happy. Smile. Laugh. Love. Change your life for the better, and that in turn will change other people. It's a glorious day.
Much love!
Mych
