Crazy Love Gamble-Style

I just came across this  list of my resolutions written in January of 2013 , let's see where we are at with all this. First up was to keep up with: Hot Yoga. Running. Eating Healthy. Check. Check. Check. At that point I was 3 lbs from my goal weight, which was 125, I am 120 now. (Yay!) Here are the things I wanted to work on: Being stronger.   I have to say I am way stronger now.  My focus has shifted to more weights and strength training.  I still have a long ways to go to get my problem areas happier but these things take time... Gaining a healthier body image. I think I am doing MUCH better in this area, still have a ways to go, but there has been definite progress.  I am learning to love myself more and forgive myself for my flaws more.  Self love is such an important thing!  Repairing an unhealthy body is one thing, rewiring an unhealthy brain is a whole other.  I am very grateful for this body, it is strong ...

Ok so I've come to the conclusion that I don't have enough patience to do this.   These kids are driving me nuts. Oh but wait, as I write this, Norah is SLEEPING and Ava is at SCHOOL and suddenly I feel fine, so there's that... But lets back up to this morning.   My alarm (Norah yelling) woke me up before I  was ready, just like every day. She was thrilled to see me, but had no patience for the fact that I didn't have pants on and wanted  to go find some... She wanted to play on the dead phone she found nestled under the ottoman, she didn't like the  answer I gave her about it needing to be charged. She screamed & yelled with no end in sight, she  ran down the hall to yell at her Dad about all the  injustices going on in the living room. She noticed the door to Ava's room closed and  decided she needed in there to play.   I explained to her that Ava was sleeping & that...
