I had a fabulous and wonderful time in San Francisco visiting my parents and sister. We had a blast going all over the city. At 8 and 10 they are so much easier to travel with and now help me carry luggage, pack etc. I even took a picture which is an NSV because I have less than 12 pictures of me with my children from the last 10 years. It is crazy but I realize that I need to get used to my body image and feel at peace with it.
Another thing I really enjoyed was pushing myself physically in SF. We literally ran all around town since it is a "walking town". We did use public transportation but we walked miles and miles...I like the concept of natural exercise during the day versus gym time. I need gym time too but walking and playing with my kids is wonderful exercise too.
Thank you for all your virtual support.
You and your boys look happy and wonderful-- it's good to see, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteRach, that is a HUGE NSV.. its a wonderful feeling and I love the mantra.. a just posted about the fact that I lost more weight in the second year than first.. I think its us getting adjusted.. its a lot of change to go through and you are absolutely right about learning to accept your new image.. it is a new you!!
ReplyDeleteYou're beautiful, Miss Rachel! And so are the kiddos, look at those sweet little faces. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Confucius-isms, they're so wise.
And so are you, I get my best exercise in on days where I just walk around with the kids, running after children should definitely be counted as high intensity!!
Rachel, so glad to see photos of you and your boys--beautiful!! I'm happy to hear the SF trip went so well. I hide from being in photos too. But I'm realizing that it cheats us and our loved ones out of a document of good times with us. So I'm trying hard to be in them more, and hope w. every pound gone I'll feel more confident.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun photos!
