The Cheesecake Conundrum

So I am proud of my lunch decisions once again today. Some wonderfully generous person left almost an entire cheesecake in our teacher's lounge today that was for everyone to share. I sat right in front of it with my usual lunch ladies. I told Melissa, one of my colleagues, that cheesecake is a weakness of mine and it was very tempting. She said to me "Don't do it Sarah! It's a new year!" That was exactly what I needed to hear. I thought to myself, will cheesecake make me feel more beautiful in my wedding dress 10 months from now? NOPE! So, I ate my half of a turkey sandwich and two clementines and was pretty satisfied...while inhaling the cheesecake mind you! At least I can say that I beat the cheesecake! It did not win! :-P

Also, I dragged my butt to the gym today! I only did about 20 minutes on the elliptical before my ankle started bothering me too much, but 20 minutes is certainly better than no minutes! I'm still keeping up with my exercises during the commercials too. It helps break up the news and allows me to stretch things out much more than I would just sitting on the couch. Perhaps I'll have some definition in these abs soon too if I keep up with the sit-ups and crunches. (and leave that cheesecake alone!)

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.
