Aimee- Starting To Feel Better

-

 Hello! So this week has been decent, considering I was on my period and had an ovarian cyst rupture last month (periods after cyst ruptures are always painful for me). I didn't bother weighing myself because periods always make me bloat and feel huge haha. So just ignoring that for now. 


Health- I did 3 workouts that I created myself and I really enjoyed it. I've been reading a book called Eat. Lift. Thrive by Sohee Lee, she's a personal trainer that I admire. She struggled with similar eating disorders and I'm learning a lot. I'm learning that I have to find something sustainable for myself and take small steps to succeed. My eating was pretty consistent the first part of the week, but suffered a lot in the second part. I'm putting more focus on that this week and will continue to make some of my own workouts for this week. I filled my kickboxing stand up with water so I could finally use it! It felt nice to get back into kickboxing techniques and get some anger out haha. I have also been working on my mile time, its not impressive, but here are my times.

I told Steven if someone's chasing me, I want to know I can run a mile faster than they do, so here I am haha. 


Work- I started applying for Medical Assisting jobs again. Veterinary Medicine has been interesting and fun, but not at all my passion. I have a second interview tomorrow with a GI/Colorectal surgery center in Fairfax. We'll see how it goes. When Steven's done, I'd like to go back for my RN. 


Aspen- I've been working really hard with Aspen. She has been eating better and gaining weight better now. I'd like her to stop, but she's only 9 months and still has some growing to do. She's 85lbs and thinks she is a very small dog haha. I still have to lift her into the car because she's too scared to jump. Sometimes she'll jump and put her front pays on the side, but I have to lift her the rest of the way. I'm going to throw my back out haha. She LOVES kids and has always had a hard time sitting still for them. She scares them away with her puppiness. But this week, she has learned! I walk her every evening in downtown Manassas and people always want to see her. We had a very brave 5 year old girl ask to "hug" her. Aspen was so sweet and just gave her kisses while she hugged and pet her. We are taking her camping this weekend with some friends who are bringing their little 4 year old boy. We are excited for some fun. 


This week- I'm going to work more on my food and getting my face washing routine. I have been wearing a toner with witch hazel in it nearly every day, and that has helped with the acne. Mask wearing is hard on my skin. I am also hoping to get my room clean this week!


Love you all!

    Camping sounds fun, especially in my camper! You sound like you're doing better. I'm sorry you had another cyst, I thought you were done with those. Keep trying! Love you and can't wait to see you next month!

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
