Instead of going to the gym today I figured I would break out of the house with the kiddos and take advantage of some warmer temperatures. (high 30's)
I had my 7 year old on his bike and my 3 year old on his big wheel. It might be hard to imagine but my three year old can pick up some speed on that big wheel of his. I walked when he was moving slow and ran when he was movin fast. It was a pretty delightful 30 mins.
What I realized is that last summer I couldn't have done this. I would have been dying to keep up with a fast movin three year old. But today, I kept wishin he would keep it up. In fact, a few times I ran past him and tried to coax him during his slower moments.
I love moments like this:
When I realize, that I AM a better, more fun mom... 83 lbs lighter.
This is one of the reason's I opted for Lap-Band. So that I wouldn't miss out on life anymore. This summer I am going to try out one of my goals... I am going to slide down the slide at the park. I don't want to be the mom who just watches anymore. I want to enjoy this small moment in my life. When I have these beautiful little boys to run and play with.
Life is good.

What a fantastic post. Moments like these make us remember why we did what we did.. getting a lap band. Congrats :) (and on that momentous loss so far - just brilliant!!)
that is so cool! Im so happy for you!
Brrr! Did you say 30 degrees? What a great achievement. Your boys are helping you to make some wonderful memories. Made me think of my son when he was little and cruised around on his big wheel.
You go Heather!!! I'm proud of you!!
