Okay, so my life isn't really new. I just couldn't think of anything creative enough for a title. Anton started his Fall term of dental school on Monday. We are still waiting to see how he did during his Summer term, I have no doubts that he did just fine. I don't really feel like I have anything to say, my mind is drawing a blank. I know I have done stuff, I just don't feel like it is blog worthy.
I have joined a local gym. Which is good because I need to get back into shape. Maddy is almost 1 1/2 years old and I can't keep using the excuse "I just had a baby". So really, any weight gain I have encountered recently is purely a result of lack of self control and laziness. I am trying to commit to going to the gym at least 3 times a week. I know I can do three. I am trying to have the mind set of getting healthy instead of losing weight. I figure if I eat healthy and take care of my body, weight loss will just be a result of all that. I love the whole healthy lifestyle mentality, but when it comes right down to it I am a HUGE junk food junkie. It is almost like I am going to have to go through a detox period, and it probably won't be pretty. Anton hates it when I ask him to help me to eat better.
Example: We are at a grocery store, I go to pick up a bag of cookies and Anton says, "Jen, are you sure you want to get that?" And then I respond with, "I am just going to eat a few. Why, are you afraid I am going to get fat?" He then usually rolls his eyes because we have had this same conversation one too many times. Hmmmm..... I wonder why he refuses to try to help me eat better?
Madilyn amazes me everyday with how much she really understands. I wish she could just communicate better. It is hard because she knows what she wants, I just don't understand her wants. She is almost at nursery age for church. It will be nice when she is in nursery full time so that Anton and I will be able to attend our church meetings. We have been taking her into nursery the past couple of weeks for the first hour. The first hour the kids mainly play with the toys and such. Madilyn loves it. Half the time I think she forgets Anton or I are in the room, which is a good thing for when she transitions into nursery full time.

We joined 24 hour fitness a month ago. I don't know what gym you joined but if it's 24 hour, I'm sure Megan would like a workout buddy.
Good girl!
Healthy lifestyle = healthy weight
Good rule to live by. I'm right there with you with the whole husband trying to help you do what you ask him to help you do...the argument is always the same...even if you say "honey, don't let me eat anything fatty..." the period eventually rolls around and he knows he needs to keep his mouth shut then. It's so funny to me that I'm not the only nut out there!
Hey Jen!! how are you? Madilyn is so cute!! Sounds like things are going really well for you guys. I am so happy for you.
