So Long, Farewell 2012

2012...what a glorious and beautiful year. I am a little sad to see it end! I do believe it has been the best year of my life so far, yet I know the years to come will be just as grand! Each month contained something wonderful. Some moments were huge and others were small, but just as important. Oh, the book I could write about this life changing year,  but the one whom I would want to read it the most already knew how the story would go. I think the best thing I leave 2012 with is my growing relationship with God.  I  know it will be reason why 2013 will be just as sweet.

Plans...oh how I love a great plan! I thrive on it actually. I am constantly making plans and most of the time I carry them out. The funny thing is that God has His own plan for me that He doesn't always clue me in on until it happens. My big plan for 2012 was to be half my size or a least almost half my size. I was almost there...40 lbs left to go and God decided it was time for me to conquer another life changing event at the same time.

Now that this Chix has a little peanut in her tummy, my focus will change a bit but will not be forgotten. For now the goal to be half my size is on hold. My job right now is grow a healthy baby. What does this mean? Really all it means is that I wont be loosing weight for a little while. In fact, the reality is that I will be gaining weight. This is something I have had to come to understand in the last 3 months. I will still continue to eat healthy and as normal as before, with the exception of a few extra calories, which right now seems to be used in the dairy aisle. With permission from my doctors, I will continue to exercise with the Chix but will modify my routine just a bit. Thankfully, I have 2 trainers to keep tabs on me so I only gain what is needed to make a healthy baby. It is my hope and belief that I will return back to this goal of being half my size in the same place that I left it.  Till we meet again, I thank you for all of your support this year and for sharing in my journey. I wish you all the best in 2013!
