Round 2 is on!

My baby is 8 weeks old today! I had intended to resume updating this blog at 6 weeks postpartum, but life got in the way as it does.

Stats: my pre-pregnancy weight was 153. I got as high as 183, but I was 178 the day I delivered. I am now 158, up 5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. This time around I do not have a percentage that I'm shooting for. Instead I will simply post the weight lost in pounds for each week.

I'm hearing a lot of buzz about P90X and running. Those two things have worked for a lot of people. Unfortunately, my schedule doesn't allow me to commit 50-90 minutes each day for exercise, and I can't easily pile the two kids in a stroller and go running on the gravel road. Aside from that, I'm up once or twice a night still, so I'm tired most days. I just don't think I'll be able to hit it super hard right off the bat.

My biggest focus will be on my diet. I want to greatly reduce sugar and flour intake again as that made me feel so good the first time around! So.. at some point this week, I'll finally be mustering the mental energy to give up my sugary pop and my flour-laden meals. Expect a crabby post later this week.

Just this for now. I knew I had to resume doing this eventually.. and now it's on! Now that I'm not working, I will probably be able to manage more frequent posts than just weekly. But no promises yet. Until next time!
