Just Breathe

This week has been hard for me psychologically. From watching my body go haywire to simply not feeling like myself. Luckily, I have the most loving and nurturing husband who held me and simply told me to "breathe." It actually works.

Just now he took me on a walk and I was able to do just that. I was able to see that I'm just like every other woman out there who is worried about one thing or another because ultimately we know everything is out of our control. I realized I have to have faith and trust that Diosito and La Virgensita know what they're doing. I have to believe that everything is going to be alright.

I mean seriously, I can't be stressing myself over every little thing. I'm also going to limit my goggling of things because seriously, that's a disaster waiting to happen. LOL.

Guess Who Finally Came to Town?

LOL. I'm probably the only girl who gets super excited when this happens. Why you ask? Well, because it hardly ever comes and when it does I feel normal. I feel like the woman that I am. Even though I've got cramps, feel bloated, my boobs hurt, and I'm such an emotional roller coaster, I can't help but get excited to think that my body will finally get with it. I mean I'm 31 and I would LOVE to have a beautiful healthy baby soon..... how awesome would that be? But I gotta take it slow... one day at a time... and when God decides it'll happen. :) It will happen.

Eaton Canyon

Went hiking today. It was seriously such a great day for it too! Took my hubby and the pups. We went to Eaton Canyon in Pasadena and made it all the way to the waterfall. It was soooo pretty. I loved crossing the rivers and just sharing this day with my poopsies. I did however, feel bad for Leo on our way back because he was seriously tired. He kept trying to lay down and chill, but Manuel and I kept on hiking. I am so proud of them. I need to take them out more so that they get used to it though...

Precious taking a break. My poor baby was tired!

The hike ended up being about 5 miles to and from the waterfall. It was crowded... a little too crowded for my liking actually... but I can't blame 'em it was lovely out.

Manuel at the waterfall

Manuel wore the shorts that I bought him yesterday. He loved his army camo shorts. I really needed to spend this time with him as I really don't want this marriage to fail. I adore him. I married him for a reason right? Yes. He's an awesome and loving man. I'm really quite lucky. I just need to forget about the past and focus on my marriage. He deserves it. I deserve it.

Leo and I at Eaton Canyon

On other news, I'm ecstatic. I love seeing how much my body has transformed. I'm really quite close to getting back to my "old" me. As of this morning I weigh 192. I think I've lost a good 40lbs since last year! eeeek!!!! I feel great! I feel like there is nothing I can't do. Ahhhh. . .I can breathe :) It's funny because as I began gaining weight I somehow stopped taking pictures. I became the person behind the camera. I'm just glad this is changing for me :) Soooo, after looking at these pix I decided that I'm probably 1/2 ways done with my weightloss. Maybe even 3/4. I mean 80# is A LOT! I mean seriously, I'm happy now. I can't imagine how I'll feel down the road :) EXCITING!

I made it to the waterfall! Yay! Too bad it was packed!

Well, I'm ready for the week ahead :) Please Lord, make this a drama free week! I got a million things to do, but I'm willing to work hard :) Then, it's SPRING BREAK! Woot! Woot! Catalina Island here we come!!!! Yay!
