Start of Week 4

Well here I am, week 4 of 12.
Monday was another quick trip to Banff, in which I did pack healthy snacks for, but not enough and no breakfast. :( However, most of my food was good for the day. We went to the gym and I did my lower weights. While we were there, a staff member needed a shoulder to lean on. It was a honour that we could be there and provide that. It's amazing that a baby's smile can lift the lowest spirits!

Tuesday saw another visit from our out of town friend! This time was much healthier as all the candy is gone... All the meals and snacks were healthy and we supported her in her diet. All the laundry got finished, but I did not attend Fitmom. The 10am start time is really tough to wake myself and the baby for, not to mention the 25 minute drive to get there. I really regret not going, and look forward to the last few classes.

Wednesday finally saw a joining of healthy eating and exercise! Yeah! We all went to the gym before a planning meeting for an upcoming Guide camp. I packed healthy snacks for the meeting, and allowed myself to have a few cookies, knowing that the rest of the day was full of good food. While the baby was with his dad, the day took a quick, serious downturn. I basically had a meltdown as my partner and I had different views on some subjects, and I gave up. I don't remember most of it, but she got pretty scared. I snapped out of it, and enjoyed a wonderfully calming, relaxing bath while she read part of a book aloud to me. It was just what I needed, and as I was finishing the bath, the doorbell rang and my son was home. Talk about perfect timing! The rest of the night was good.

Usually Thursdays is Birth and Babies day, but this week (and last week) nothing was really planned. Since I wanted to go for a walk, we went to the new mall just outside of the city. We hadn't been there yet and it was a nice walk as it's a big mall. It was heartwarming to see that she not only offered to carry the baby through most of our time at the mall, but their happy bond continues to grow. Our relationship, since the bath on Wednesday, had been much better and I feel that our little family will continue to grow stronger.
