Over-Posting Today!

I'm sitting here watching the Packers/Vikings game and can't help thinking about how much food I have consumed while watching football! (or TV in general) My solution to this is that starting on New Year's Day, while I have the TV on, I will do an exercise during the commercial breaks. It doesn't matter if it's push-ups, sit-ups, squats, whatever...I'm going to get off of my butt and do something! I remember doing this when I lived with my parents. I'd chat with Mom and do sit-ups on the living room floor. It's a no-brainer!

 I'm cutting myself some slack for the next two days. I actually did okay eating-wise today, I'm just having some Moscato in preparation for the Redskins/Cowboys game. It IS after all one of the biggest games of the season for us and determines whether we'll make it to the playoffs. If these guys can bust their butts as a career, I can certainly get off of mine and do some working out/celebrating while I watch. Anyway...just thought I would share my thoughts. I'm taking baby steps, but I'm hoping they'll pay off in the long run.

Weight, What?!

I am having a little conflict with myself lately. I am still 15 lbs away from what I weighed prior to having baby Aurora and this is frustrating me. However, if I am being completely honest with myself, I am not really doing anything about it. I am coming to the realization that I HATE summer. I don't hate being off work and I don't hate spending a lot of time with my daughter, but I HATE the heat and humidity. If I had the choice of going outside for a walk up and down the hills in my neighborhood while pushing the stroller or putting my hand in the oven for 30 seconds, I think I'd choose the latter. I am in a constant state of second-guessing myself. Do I put my 9 month old in the stroller slathered with sunscreen, in a hat that she hates and let her sweat it out so that I can get in some exercise or do we just stay inside and play? Staying inside and playing has most definitely been winning lately. We have been to the pool a few times, but this is not quite an aerobic ...

Is this the real life? Or is it fantasy?

These past few days have felt a bit like a dream. Everyone kept telling me that things would be a bit difficult after my D&C, but I kept trying to reassure myself that I would be fine. Truth is, it's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster. I feel okay for most of the day, but every now and then I just feel like crying. I'm sure it is because my hormones are a bit wacko right now, but that does not make it much easier. Lots of people are advising me to take this week off, but i feel like the more I sit home and think, the tougher it is. I need some routine back in my world. I have been trying so hard to stay positive and think forward and try to be optimistic. I'm just struggling with it. I am very happy that Spring break is coming up and Ben and I will be able to go to North Carolina for a few days and escape. Anyway, I don't want to be Debbie Downer. I'm just trying to work through all of this. Thanks again for taking the time out to read this.
