Super busy end to this year. Thought we were going to have to move and got packed up before a surprise vacation to Hawaii last month. Got a new tattoo. Got to see one of my nephews after a 6 month absence. Grandma moved into an assisted living home. Robert and I have been being tested up the wazoo for fertility and now Christmas is just around the corner, whew.
Hawaii was amazing! Such a beautiful place to visit. I had made an appointment, before I was told of the trip, for a new tattoo, the day before we flew out. Needless to say I couldn't fully enjoy the sporting opportunities they had there but we had a nice time none the less. Got to see nearly the whole island of Kona. While we were there we found out we didn't have to move after all. Nice. We still haven't completely unpacked this time in case a pending move springs up.
The long awaited visit from my nephew couldn't have come at a better time. We have been struggling to get pregnant and being tested for everything is taxing. It helped to renew my spirit and to push on with whatever they need to test next. We so want to have children and my clock is ticking loud and clear. When we returned from Hawaii I had planned to be in a place to continue my toning efforts with the Insanity program. Since the move didn't happen, I have rethought my goals for 2014. I have decided to cut back on my efforts to 30-45 min exercise sessions instead of an 75-90 min sessions. I can effectively tone with weights, cardio and yoga without pushing myself so hard. No need for a washboard stomach when I want to fill it up with babies.
So while 2014 will still be filled with a healthy diet and exercise, I'm hoping it will be filled with a healthy pregnancy as well. Do what's right for you when setting your goals for the upcoming year. A little restructuring never hurt. What would you like more than anything next year? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all that read this blog. May peace and happiness be yours!
