A Fire. On My Face.

August 18, 2014 · In: Motherhood, Uncategorized

These are our weekend photos and we wore the same outfits for 2 days in a row! Soon we’ll be dousing ourselves in perfume oil sans bathing. Marvelous! More lipstick! 

What’s the sound of one hand clapping? The same sound as cutting food one-handed with a knife these days. Baby is on the lap now at every meal time. Everyone got their food at the restaurant and started eating as I stared longingly at my bacon, fig, goat cheese burger. Then in a fit of starvation, I futilely shanked the burger with one hand until Chris offered to cut it for me so I could eat it. 

COFFEE!!!!!!!!

It was half-caff vanilla iced mini cup but MAN-O-MAN!!! It’s been a year of no caffeine! I had half of this small cup and my eyelashes were on fire all day! I read 5 children’s books to Grant in 7 minutes. The day ended in a mild headache. It was glorious. 

Have a wonderful start to your week!

    I’m naughty and started drinking caffeine again halfway through pregnancy. I’ve limited myself to 200-300mg/day though as that’s what I’ve read is safe. When I first got pregnant though I didn’t even want coffee because it made my heartburn worse!

      Thanks, Sam! He is surely changing quickly! I wonder how many cafe owners don’t drink coffee?? I did work at Starbucks in high school. I hardly drank the stuff. What was wrong with me!? Lol

    Hey you’re not wearing black 🙂 A year with no caffeine actually doesn’t sound that bad to me but then I’m one of those who can’t have caffeine in the afternoon or I won’t be able to sleep. Happy Monday Christina!

      Rowena you are hilarious. Yes, the mourning outfit has faded out of the rotation!! Yay!!! My husband can’t do caffeine in the afternoon either. Every once on a while there will be a night where I wake to a light on and he’s not able to sleep!

      It was natural at first- I didn’t know I was pregnant and just stopped wanting it. Then at then end when I was super tired I was crying for it! Lol now all bets are off!

It’s not pretending and it’s definitely not instant results.

It’s the moment you stop negotiating with yourself and start making decisions from who you already believe you are.

Saying “I’m a runner” doesn’t magically make you one, but it does change what you choose to do next-
the habits.

That’s how change actually sticks.

it becomes automatic.

These were just things I had to go through on the journey.

It’s why I was sad but at the same time understanding that everything always works out.

that’s the person I choose to be-

Someone who knows everything is going to be ok.

One day, I decided to stop letting my circumstances determine the outcomes that I wanted.

Here he was mother to four, barely sleeping at night, feeling Uncomfortable in my body and sluggish. 

Dare I say it but I felt old too.

Then I just decided that, even though I was in this stage of life, I was still going to achieve my goals and have a body that I wanted.

I changed who I was on the inside.

I started telling myself that I was vibrant and beautiful and full of energy and life.

All the sudden I started to believe it.

I ate healthier automatically.

I lost over 20 pounds.
