It's been a long time!

Somedays, I ask myself, "Lisa, why did you really start this blog"? I was really hoping to give advice, show my creative side, vent etc. I have realized that I am far too busy to update as much as I would like to. For that, I am dissapointed in myself. But never the less, let me update you all with my life. I am still breastfeeding! My little man is 10 months old tomorrow! Oh how time fly's! Somedays I wish I can just relive those first few newborn days but I love my little man's personality. He had 3 months full of ear infections, I know... you also probably heard that EBF babies don't get sick. Well, mine did! Three ear infections and life was miserable but more so for my little man. Antibiotics, pain, weight loss and a nasty yeast infection. Gabriel is still taking the bottle with the sitter but he still prefers the breast. If your baby is not taking a bottle then be patient. Give it time and do NOT stress about it. Your baby will not die. I have recently adopted a healthy lifestyle and when I say recently, I mean two days recent LOL. But I am so motivated and not to diet but to change my life!!! I am overweight. My BMI is like 4 pounds over but even at the heaviest to be in the normal range, does not look good on me. I dont feel right in my clothes and I dont like being naked with my husband! How said is that? I want to grow old with my husband. God has given me a precious gift of life and one body! It is a temple; not a trash can. I need to take care of this body from the inside out. I want to grow old with my husband, be healthy, happy, and feel good. Changing my life is the only way to get these things. I am starting to lift weights. I dont over do it because I haven't worked out in years but I will get there. So, what have I been eating? Well, last night for dinner we had baked cod, steamed green beans & carrots, plus quinoa. It was amazing! and yesterday I ate soooo much and was under my calorie goal!!! It is amazing how much of this good and clean foods you can eat. I couldn't believe it. For the last two days I have never felt this energetic, refreshed, and happy! Most of all, I am giving my baby the real nutrition that he needs. I was tired of fast food 3-4 times a week! It really takes it's toll. Now, my only challenge is getting my husband on board but I am praying for him. And if you feel unhappy with your health, DO something! The time is now. It is all in your mind...no more excuses. Just do it. PS: I bought some new drugstore products, mac products and some goodies from Sephora. That will be my next post! Besitos <3 Lisa
