Just have to share. I feel like I have had so many crises over the past few years. Becoming a single parent, living in an unsafe apartment complex, losing multiple jobs for reasons completely out of my control, financial difficulties, losing contact with my only remaining parent, which in turn meant DS lost contact with his only living relative that he is likely to ever see, etc, etc, etc. I also gained over 70 pounds while pregnant with DS and didn't lose any of it. I was feeling so fat and unhealthy and wondering if I would be around to see DS grow to adulthood.
Â
Three weeks ago, I moved to an incredible apartment complex surrounded by people that I really love being near, who create a sense of community that I didn't even realize that I craved until I was here.Â
Â
5 1/2 months ago I began a job that is the most unbelievably perfect fit for me. They share my beliefs about how a company should be run, how children should be raised, and they put their employees first above absolutely everything else. Â
Â
Yesterday I joined a gym for the first time in a very long time. I found a fabulous one that is only $10 a month and is a 5 minute drive from my job and I have 4 hours after I get out of work before I need to pick DS up from preschool, 2 of which he is napping, so I have absolutely no excuse to not work out anymore
Â
Today I worked out for an hour and a half and I feel INCREDIBLE! I forget how much my body craves exercise. I also realized that the new sports bra that I bought was a size smaller than the last time I bought one! I need to wear a super-duper-industrial-strength type of sports bra and was so thrilled to realize that I am a size smaller than I thought I was! Woo Hoo!
Â
Feeling like things are so good right now! I can't wait to see how the next few months play out. I know that things can turn bad at any time, but I am really feeling like things are so great right now for me personally. Yippee!
