I didn’t weigh in. I’m not going to this week. I fear it won’t be good.
I’ve been struggling. Before I had Quinn I had a schedule. I may not have blogged about it everyday, but I ate pretty much the same things for breakfast and lunch like I always have, with the only change being dinner. This helped me keep myself in check. Now that I have her my schedule is all over the place. I have been unsuccessful in creating a set schedule for eating and working out. I’d like to change that.
I’ve also been blogging primarily about my baby. I love her.
She’s all “Mmmmhmmm, don’t blame that shit on me.”
And she’s adorable and all that, but baby blogging on this blog that was started to help me lose weight and get healthy isn’t working. I want to share her life with the world because I feel I have so much to say about being a first time mom that could help other people. I have realized that when I blog about her here that my focus isn’t on weight loss or eating healthy. My focus is on her chubby cheeks.
The focus of this blog should be my chubby cheeks, both upper and lower.
I also acknowledge that not everyone wants to click on a link to this blog and see my kid 24/7. I get it. You want to know how to lose weight. I promise you I know how to do that, I’ve just lost my way.
The only solution is the one I’ve come up with is this:
I’ll blog about my weight loss and fitness here. I’ll go back to what worked (blogging about meeting topics, recipes, new workouts I try, my feelings and insecurities about losing weight, etc). I’ll go back to WTF Wednesdays because I enjoyed them. I’ll have Three Things Thursdays again. It’ll be like old times, friends.
I’ve started a new blog for baby stuff. I’m really excited about it because it’s going to be fun and allow me an outlet for all the crazy mommy stuff I’m just getting used to without further boring my audience here. I should have it up and running soon, and I plan to link posts here and there and make it easy for RRR readers to jump over to that one to see what Quinn is up to. I won’t keep my baby completely away from RRR, I’ll just post the occasional picture instead of every post being smothered in baby love. That will be for the new blog. I think this is going to work out great.
This blog was instrumental in my weight loss at one time. It offered an ear when I thought no one else could possibly understand what I was going though. It offered a shoulder when I had bad weeks and just needed to cry. It’s offered a laugh when I needed it the most. It allowed me to meet the wonderful man that gave me that beautiful chubby cheeked baby.
Every single one of you that have ever clicked on a link to get you here picked me up and dusted me off when I fell down time after time.
Here I am again, holding my hand out to you.
Pick me back up.
