I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve posted an update. I’ve been super busy, but now that I sit here and think about it, not much is new (although I wrote a lot).
I sat down with my personal trainer, Sandi, on Wednesday to talk about my diet because I’m really wanting to lose weight. Back in August, I had kept track of what I ate for 2 weeks so I brought my notebook with me. Afterwards, I felt like her comments were obvious and that I should have seen it myself. I started up the food journal again, but this time making more detailed notes. After really looking at what I eat, it’s the weekends where I eat the worst. I’ve been trying to follow Sandi’s advice, but who can pass up on real Belgium chocolate? *sigh* Baby steps…
Scott and I are still attempting the weight loss challenge. He hasn’t lost any weight yet, but he has starting working out. I have lost around 5 lbs, but I don’t think that’s very accurate since the weigh-in times have been inconsistent.
And of course, there’s Damien. I think he’s getting some new teeth in because he is always tired and cranky. I’ve been hearing some super loud, high-pitched screams recently and I’m not a fan. I have a home-visit with EDIS scheduled on Tuesday. They’re the people who deal with child development. I got a referral from Damien’s pediatrician because of how he scored in the communication section of the assessment during his 1 year checkup. Maybe I should explain this more…Before each appointment, I have to fill out a questionnaire about what Damien can do. It asks things about motor skills, communication, etc. Damien has never scored particularly high on these assessments. Anyways, I figured it can’t hurt to have someone take a look at him. I spoke with the lady who’s coming out and she said she can give us some tips on how to maybe move his speech along. AND on top of all of this, my pediatrician recommended a hearing test for Damien just to ensure he can hear sounds correctly. He said it’s just something to knock out and that it could hinder him saying sounds.
