I've been slacking a bit lately on blogging but I promise to get back on track! Here are some thoughts I've been having lately.
*E finally has her cardiology appointment on February 23rd. As it has gotten closer, I've noticed that I have been on edge a bit. I'm anxious, nervous, and to be honest a bit scared. I wrote about her condition in this post. I will take her for a blood draw next week to prepare for that appointment to have her cholesterol levels tested. The appointment will last approximately 3 hours as we will meet the entire cardiology team as well as a nutritionist. Thankfully, Kyle will be able to get out of class to attend.
*I am approximately 7 months away from running the Chicago Marathon. Cue the freakout. I know it's still pretty far away but with how fast time has been going it will be here before I know it. As most of you know I am fundraising as part of the Homes for our Heroes team. It's an amazing organization that provides homes for severely injured service members and their families. I am so excited to be a part of an amazing team doing so much good.
This is my fundraising page, if you feel so inclined to donate, it is greatly appreciated.
*I am officially in the PCS funk. It's that weird feeling of knowing we are leaving but still trying to stay connected to where we are. I love our friends here and everything about Kansas but knowing we are leaving makes me want to disconnect. It always happens for me and it's really a defense mechanism and how I cope. Then add in the stress of the move itself, it's game over. Does anyone else experience this?
*I have been trying to do really well with the nutrition portion of this FIT Challenge but I'm not going to lie some days I just want cake and guess what!? I'm going to eat the cake. Life is too damn short not to. Despite that feeling every now and again, I'm proud of embracing this the best I can. It's all about moderation, right? ;)
*We do have a lot of fun events coming up mostly involving my SLAM group, we have a Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day themed classes coming up followed by a Valentine's Day party for the kiddos. I'm excited for that. While we don't really celebrate it, it is fun getting in the spirit for E. I'm sure she will end up with some giant stuffed animal and some candy haha. I put together some goodies for our niece and nephew to send them, it's so fun being able to do that.
Speaking of themed classes, I realized that I failed to share the photos from our 80s class. Oh my gosh! So fun!
On that note, have a great Thursday!!
