Celebrating the Little Things
Ya know, sometimes in life we just need to celebrate. No matter how small and insignificant it may be, we need to take the time to realize that the little accomplishments in life are just as important as the big ones...so, today I'm celebrating some little things:
- Henry knows the letter A. He knows what it looks like, knows what it sounds like, can draw it, point it out, and say it. Sure, there's 25 letters left to go. But the letter A is an official accomplishment in our household.
- I stepped on the scale this morning and officially weighed 20 pounds lighter for the year. One pound at a time ladies...only 80 left to go.

| GONE! |
- We found a very, very small fitness center with a pool and playground for only $10 a month. The only downfall is that we have no one to watch Henry, so our plan is for one of us to spend an hour swimming with him while the other works out and then switch. I feel vulnerable going into a place where others can physically see me working out and sweating and trying so hard. But I'm going to get over it and do it because I want this so bad.
- I received my W-2 yesterday which means we can get our taxes done, which means we can start on our bathroom, which means I will have a bathtub, and room to move, and storage, and HALLELUJAH, a huge burden lifted from my shoulders.
- Vacation dates have officially been put in! Hurry up May!
- I've slowly been reconnecting with one of my childhood best friends. I needed this. I need community and friendship so badly right now.
- I only work two days this week: Tuesday and Saturday. Wednesday - Friday I have off with the hubs and we're planning somethings special. I can't wait.
- God is good, in all things, at all times. 'nough said.
I hope you all have a wonderful Monday! Don't forget to celebrate the little things!
20 lbs is AWESOME! Way to go my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you. =)
DeleteWoo hoo!!! You rock my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks girly. You are such an inspiration to me with all of your races and such!
DeleteThe letter A is a very good start! I know you were working on different things for Henry to focus on the alphabet. Would you mind sharing your tips, tricks, and activities?
ReplyDeleteTWENTY POUNDS?! WAY TO GO!!! That's amazing, keep up the hard work!
Is it sad that I haven't got passed A though? Haha. Mostly we've just done a lot of coloring, reading, and tracing. I've also done a few scavenger hunts where I've posted the letter through-out the house. (We've also done colors and numbers this way too.)
DeleteWay to go, Henry. He's off to a great start!
ReplyDelete20 pounds!! That is awesome, Jenn. No easy task.
Now if I would just quit being lazy and move on to the rest of the alphabet. Thanks so much, Shannan!
Deletewhat a sweet, lovely blog you have here! congratulations on 20 pounds. i lost 70 pounds several years back. it was incredible -- unfortunately i've gained a lot of it back after having my first baby in may, but you're totally inspiring me to get back on track. <3

I lost about 25 pounds last year and gained it all back through-out the course of the year too. And actually, when I was pregnant with Henry, I lost like 50 pounds during my pregnancy (it was the best diet ever, haha!) but then gained it all back too. Weight loss is almost the easier part, keeping it off is another task all together. I'm really determined this year though, so....hopefully I will succeed. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I'd love for you to share some of your tips and tricks when you lost weight!
