Hard to believe that in three weeks our son will be away at college. I'm not sure what to do with myself. I thought I was ready but today I'm realizing that I am not. My whole life all I ever wanted to do was be a mom. While I know I'm still a mom it is a new and different chapter that I'm just not quite ready for but have no choice. I'm very proud of Andrew and I know there are big and wonderful things in his future, it's just so hard to let go.
We just spent 4 days in Springfield, partly for registration and orientation and partly just to spend time together in the college town. We went to a Springfield Cardinal's game, they are a farm team for the St. Louis Cardinals. Totally went off our diet! Both Bill and I were sure we put all of our weight back on over the four days in Springfield but guess what? We didn't! Neither one of us! Now, I'd be lying if I said we didn't gain a little but I only gained 2 pounds and have already lost 1 since being home for only 2 days! Bill gained less than 5 pounds. We are back on plan now.
Just feeling sad today. Emotions will most likely be all over the place for the next several weeks/months.
Just a wife and mother who loves animals and starting a new adventure with Trim Healthy Mama.
