Growing Boy, Running, and Work

I'm sitting here watching mason drink out of a beginner sippy cup and it's totally tripping me out!  Most of it is running down his chin but still, it's pretty amazing how fast these little ones learn things!  Makes me so proud!  I don't really wish for time to slow down because it's so amazing watching him learn new things!!! I may feel differently if I weren't going to try for another child! But I am soaking up every moment with him and not taking any of it for granted.  

In other news, I bought myself a pair of good running shoes!  I am still not released to run yet, but that's alright. I haaaate the treadmill and I'm not hardcore enough to run in the snow and 0 degree weather.  But I'm ready for when it starts to warm up a bit! Mostly doing weight training and PT right now. And making sure I'm fueling my body with the proper foods.  

If you know me, you know that patience is NOT one of my strong points.  So, naturally, I'm struggling with what feels like lack of progress.  It didn't happen fast before, either.  In fact, it took 4 years for me to lose 70 lbs.  I have 20 to go to get to my first goal.  And 30 to get to my lowest. But, ideally, I'd just like to get to my first goal before doing our FET.  

I usually don't place a lot of importance on the scale...however, I feel like it should have moved a little more than 5 lbs since having Mason. Especially with how careful I am with my nutrition and how consistent I am with working out.  So, yes. I am frustrated.  But, as usual, it won't keep me from keeping it up! I suppose it wouldn't be as rewarding if it were easy.  

But it is definitely getting old.  Especially when I hear about how so and so is tracking their calories and is losing massive weight.  What the hell do I have to do?! Cripes! Lol. Nah. It's all good. I'm just having a rough time I with it.  Maybe once I introduce running in addition to weight training, it'll help? Who knows?

Work stuff is going OK. I've been soooo busy with the tattooing that I haven't painted in nearly 3 months. Not good.  I mean, I suppose it's good but I miss painting. I hope the tattoos slow a bit so I can paint.  It's time!!!
