Today is the first official day of daylight savings time. In preparation I put my clocks forward and set two alarms so we would wake up on time for church. And since finding clothes to fit post baby has been a bit of a challenge, I put some cushioning on the time for multiple outfit changes.
So you can imagine how stressed out I was when the dog became the unplanned alarm clock and I discovered we had only 1 hour to get two adults, one toddler, and one infant out the door. Panic set in! And so began the great rush to Spark, eat, and get out the door in order to be at church on time to serve.
But in the midst of my panic, I got an amazing blessing that was just what I needed to stay focused and keep motivated with the Challenge. MY PANTS FIT BETTER! That's right, my jeans that created a not so attractive post-baby muffin top, were noticeably looser and way more comfortable. Don't get me wrong, I'm still rocking a bit of a muffin top (it took me 9 months to get that body that produced my daughter), but it is nice to be able to sit down without the jeans digging into places you'd rather them not.
After savoring this blessing, with a big smile on my face and facebook shout out to the world, I rocked me jeans all the way to church........on time, I might add!
I realize that I have only been posting my experience though this journey, but wanted to update you all on Kevin as well. He is just wrapping up his Cleanse phase and is beaming as he reports he is feeling better than ever. Onward to the Max phase!
