Date Night

My meds have had sort of a weird effect on me. I do feel a little bit better physically. I have more energy. But they have made me incredibly emotional. I don't want to say depressed because I am happy and know that I have an incredibly blessed life. But, a little depressed. I am hard on myself anyways. But, I feel especially not that great about myself lately. The weight part of the entire illness has been especially hard for me. Watch for my new weight loss journey blog to come in the new year if I am brave enough to share. Anyways, after being home all week in my little house with kiddos and Christmas messes and little old ladies I really needed out of the house. I really needed to shower and do my hair and make up too. So, my hubby took me for a middle of the week date night. That never happens and my kids were so confused. :) I know I am blessed and I am so thankful for my little family and my incredibly happy life. I just have to look at their little faces and big bright eyes to remind myself that I have a great life. 

I went to Weight Watchers for the first time in way too long this week. I'm trying to regain myself. The leader said something that really hit home for me. He said, "How do you eat an elephant?........One bite at a time" I tend to be extreme in the things that I do. This is a really great reminder for me in all aspects of life. Little steps, one bite at a time.
