good afternoon everyone.
i miss doing my pilates. i have the mari windsor dvd too (i got the mat/dvd set for xmas a few years back) and i also have a crunch fitness pilates dvd too. i used to do pilates on fridays as my "light" workout..but now that the 1yr old is mobile, i don't have a way to keep her off of me and the mat to do it.
angie--my excitement on saturday night was anything but good. baby X took a spill in the bathtub (silly girl likes to stand up in there and lost her footing) hit her chin on the edge of the tub and split it open. blood everywhere, gushing and wouldn't stop. and being solo, there was no way i could drive her to the ER myself and keep pressure on it to stop the bleeding. so 911 was call, we took an ambulance ride and she was "glued" back together. then once i got to the ER and things were calming down, i realized i didn't drive there, so i had no clue how i was going to get home...luckily, my sister wasn't too far away at a wedding and she came and picked us up and took us home.
so..her first serious wound..and i had to deal with it all by myself. which was scary and sucked alot, but i did it and it's over.
it just now makes me worry a bit about what would i do if something happened to me..it's not like the baby can call 911 and what if, God forbid, something more serious were to happen to me, there's no one that really "checks up" on me, except DD and DS's dad, but on the weekends, not as much...so it just has me worried, not so much for me, but for the baby.
ANYWAYS... enough of that!
i hope that everyone keeps the positive attitude and vibes going. the key to my success has been that i finally GOT IT..this is a lifetime/lifestyle change. not a diet. i don't even have that word in my vocabulary anymore and haven't since my mindset changed a few years ago. just keep at it, be conscious of your body and how you're treating it. listen to it and do what's best for you. investing in yourself is the best thing you can do! especially when you're a SAHM, it's hard to take care of a family, if you're not taking proper care of yourself. how you treat yourself, ends up affecting not only you, but you family as well. (just something to think about)
i'm stepping off my soap box now.
enjoy the rest of the day.
