HELLO June!
It's June! WHAT????
May was a complete whirlwind. May is my favorite month for many reasons. First of all, it is the last month of school. It is super crazy and busy at work, writing report cards, grading, and wrapping up the school year. BUT once you get through it, you are FINISHED for 10 weeks! May is also the month of Mother's Day, Ethan's Birthday, AND my birthday. Finally, we ended the month with my little sister's wedding!
I blogged a couple of times about doing the Whole 30 during the month of May. It was a tough month, because we had a lot of celebrations, but it was a perfect month because I LOST weight instead of gaining it. I ended up losing 6.5 pounds during the month, and actually 5 of them were during the first week. It was pretty amazing to meet my goal just in time for my sister's wedding. Since then....welllllll....not so hot. I feel like it's been a downward spiral for the past week (snacks, pizza, cookies, etc.) and I'm already starting to plan to start another clean eating challenge. I just don't have will-power on my own, and for some reason, a clean challenge makes me do it.
We celebrated Ethan's 2nd birthday in the middle of the month. I can't believe my sweet boy is TWO! We celebrated with a little Elmo party (although he really isn't as obsessed as he was when I chose the theme) of just our immediate family. Since I went a little overboard with his first birthday party, we decided to keep it small this year.
When I started the Whole 30, I had every intention of following it, EXCEPT for on my 30th birthday. Yup, I turned 30 a week ago. All I wanted for my birthday was a fiesta with my closest family and friends, a Qdoba bar, and margaritas. And baby, I got it. I had such a wonderful night, and feel so lucky to be healthy and have reached this milestone year.
After I came off of my birthday hangover, it was time to celebrate Ali's wedding weekend. It was an INCREDIBLE weekend. Tornado warnings during the rehearsal dinner and not a drop of rain on her wedding day. Everything was perfect and I swear, she was the prettiest bride I have ever seen. Ethan was a perfect angel (except for getting the tux on, which we knew would be a fight), and he walked down the aisle like such a big boy. We are so happy to have Kyle in our family and our post-wedding lives to get back to normal :)
Now it is finally time to enjoy my summer vacation off with my little man. We are booked with stroller-fit classes, swimming lessons, music classes, and mommy-and-me camp. Excited to experience summertime with my family and friends!
