On New Year's Eve, I went to the Y to renew our membership. Being a mom of 2 under 2 is quite taxing, and frankly depression was beginning to take over. I decided it was time to regain my energy and drop this baby weight. I was happy to discover that they are now offering childcare at no extra charge. I can take the boys with me and leave them in the child care center for an hour while I work out. (I can leave them up to 2 1/2 hours when Aaron turns 6 months!) I am actually REALLY enjoying it! My energy boosted 100% within two days, and I am finding the "me time"
invaluable! When I returned to work, after the holiday break, we started a "Biggest Loser" contest at work. I am currently in second place! I have lost 11 lbs since New Years Day, and I am still extremely motivated. I am hungry ALL THE TIME thanks to breastfeeding, but I am finding it easier and easier to make smart choices about what I cook and what I choose to snack on. I allow myself an occasional treat, but I feel so good, I just can't stand the thought of putting junk in my body - most of the time, anyway. I am happy to say I have lost all the weight I gained with Aaron - but I still have about 15 lbs to get to my "pre-Andrew" weight. Dang...I should have done a "before" photo. Will a pregnacy photo do? LOL!
Aaron is going to be an outdoorsman just like his Daddy and brother! Here he is enjoying yesterday's sunshine!
