Our Life in December so far…my birthday month!!!
We celebrated my birthday in St. Croix and spent time with my uncle (mom’s brother). It was a great time. Definitely missing the weather and beautiful beaches…
To get in the holiday spirit, we went to the Christmas House in Freehold. Very cute place…
Worked on a few campaigns, even while on my birthday vacation…
And lastly, my annual birthday girls night dinner with my two chicas
Now onto Christmas and New Year’s Eve to end this month…
Happy birthday to me 🥳. It was important to me to get back to being me. I set a goal to be back at a certain weight by my birthday and I’m so proud of myself that I did it! Yay me!
After my dad passed away, I began to comfort eat and gained about 20 pounds. Many people said the extra weight looked good on me, but I personally did not feel comfortable. When I got engaged, I lost 15 pounds by the time I got married. I actually felt comfortable even with the still extra 5 pounds. Then our fur baby passed away over a year ago and I became sad again, amongst other things. I gained back the 10 pounds. I really became unhappy with my body. This was the heaviest I ever been in my life. I was lonely in the house, as there was no more Wally. My husband was working those long shifts as a nurse. So all I did was work. And my commute to work was long and stressful. By the time I arrived home, the first thing I would do is get a snack because I was starving. I would eat late because I wanted to eat dinner with my husband.
So my husband hearing me complain about my weight suggested I rejoin the gym mainly to get out of the house. I did and that started my journey back to becoming me again…
Btw, this is definitely a new me. I would have never posted a picture of myself in a bikini. Another… Yay Me!
As l start a new chapter of my life, I enter it with gratitude. I think about those that unfortunately do not get the opportunity to continue growing their story.
So my message to you all is to celebrate your birthday…celebrate growing older. Growing older means you’re given the opportunity of life.
So anyone celebrating a birthday today, I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday ⚘
