Hilary is a joy. So far she is an 'angel' baby, she's one month old now and has been sleeping like a dream. Sometimes I forget she's even around! "Oh ya! I have another child here!" I often say to myself during the day as I am chasing Reed around, trying to successfully parent/survive a two-year old...
Sideways.. darn-it!
She sleeps through night so far, and I am waiting for it to get worse...
What else... well my post partum recover has been really good also. I was able to do 10min treadmill runs in the third week after, and started my T25 workouts last week (I'll blog more about this later). I am just feeling very happy to be able to get a sweat going again. I have missed exercising terribly, and am suffering the consequences now. Not so much the cardio, or even muscle tiredness, but the weight I gained.
I topped out at 170lbs! That's a 43lbs weight-gain! Holy Dina! So needless to say, confidence is a little low and feeling like I am at the bottom of a long slow hard climb back to an acceptable weight.
Good news = I am already down to around 140. The first part was easy though, it just came off without any work. It has slowed down now. I have made a few diet changes, namely eat mostly from the fruit and vegetable food group. I have also cut out bread and cheese (still eating other grains and other dairy, but had to make some sacrifices...) I am not kidding when I say I had pizza at least once a week when pregnant, not to mention the nightly cheese and peanut butter sandwich I ate before bed!! My little princess just wanted her carbs and fat!
And lastly... Spring is finally starting to spring... the bulbs I planted last fall are starting to come up! YAY!
