R U Ok?

I've just realised it's over two months since I posted here and so much has happened.  It was R U Ok day recently I have to admit, I haven't been okay.  So much has gone on since I last posted - between both my wife & I hitting kangaroos, having our sheep escape three times, and some other things that I can't put here, it's been tough.

But it's about perspective, one which came up on R U Ok day; the other is my wallpaper.  The stories from R U Ok day were deeply moving.  Thinking about it now, it has got me to focus on addressing the things that have been concerning me. 

Thinking about my wallpaper and what it represents makes me happy beyond belief.  It's a ultrasound picture - seeing that picture and bub's heart beating during my wife's ultrasound is amazing.

Where does that leave the mission?  My wife and I had an agreement that if we got pregnant, I would lose my belly as she got a belly.  The stress has meant I've reverted back to old habits - food is where I go when I'm stressed.  

But I also have amazing support from my wife - love you darling :)

The upshot from the last couple of months is that I need to get back to things I enjoy - including bushwalking and RPM classes.  I've been on a few walks recently, but my good habits have been replaced by old ones.  It's well past time to get back on that bandwagon...starting with standing on the scales at the gym tomorrow.
