Loving Laura

So I guess its been a while since Ive written here. I suppose that is because I have been releasing stress in other ways. Lately Im doing alot more around the house, its hard to keep up with a walking baby, who is basically a food tornado. But Im really giving it my best. In all aspects too, not just cleaning. Im really trying to get 'me' back as well. Doing my nails, straightening my loooong ass hair (that I REALLY need to get cut!...and dyed but that will have to wait :s  because I have a  big party coming up, but more on that later) spending the hour on my makeup, well more like 40 minutes really, even when doing my make up recently Ive just done 'less'. But still, I dont feel like me. And I know why that is, Ive just been lazy and let it slide. That terrible thing? My weight. I know Im not terribly obese or anything, but 50-60 lbs less and I know I will be alot happier. Something else is always a priority. Playing with Laura, cleaning up the mess from playing with Laura, feeding Laura and cleaning Laura. The daily cleaning and laundry. Oh dont forget sleeping when I can. That doesnt really leave alot of time for going to the gym. But Im going to start trying harder. If I have time and energy to walk to the store and get chocolate,  then I should be able to have the money to go to the Y, and the energy to work myself till I hurt. I also need to work on portioning, as I know that eating healthy will only get you so far if your eating a mountain of it ( slight exaggeration) .....but I really am trying.

In other news. Laura is fantastic. Sleep depriving, but fantastic. She walks and climbs, and gets into and onto anything and everything, so i guess its time to call her a toddler. Scary and exciting. As she learns to do more on her own I will have more 'me' time , but then she will need me less. Speaking of needing me, she is currently yelling at me now, so Im going to just post this now and hope that i can make time later to tell you about le partay!
