Kedrake18's Journal, 14 September 2017

Just starting back, this time last year I had just confirmed my pregnancy, and I gave birth to a sweet happy baby girl on May 5th earlier this year. I've been struggling with my blood pressure and stress. Lots of medication changes. I've been trying to balance being a Mom to two girls, and working full time, and it has been rough.

So I'm trying to slowly ease my eating habits back to where they need to be, watching portion sizes, and adding in lots of veggies. Also cutting the junk. I did have a sausage biscuit this morning...but that's a rare thing since I got out of the house super early and had the time to do so. Going to make better choices the rest of the day. I'm having left over chicken thighs that I baked last night, and they are quite frankly scrupdiddlyuptious. Higher in fat than I like, but loads of flavor. Salad on the side. :) Still trying to decide on dinner tonight, I know I'm putting chicken breasts in the crock pot and slow cooking them on my lunch break. Need some sides. Possibly a salad of broccoli, tomatoes, carrots and cabbage.

Next step will be to find time for exercise. I'm thinking it'll have to be early in the morning or possibly stealing 30-40mins after dinner before I have to put kids to bed. I usually go to sleep not long after they do. Once the weather cools down a bit more, I think the girls and I might start taking a walk in the afternoon, after homework is complete.
