Getting Back In Shape

I gained 35 pounds during this last pregnancy and I'm thrilled to say that I have lost 37(!) pounds since giving birth. It's only been two and a half weeks! I know that 35 pounds isn't a lot to gain but I hated the way I felt and looked while I was pregnant. My pregnancy weight came off really fast after Owen was born as well. I have an appointment with my doctor on April 15 and look forward to her giving me the thumbs-up to start running. In the meantime, I will maintain my current workout program which consists of mowing the lawn and chasing after Owen.

Things are still pretty much the same around here. Logan does his baby stuff and Owen does his toddler stuff. Logan has suddenly found his appetite and can't seem to get enough food. Until a few days ago he was a very slow eater. Owen, who is a little on the picky side when it comes to eating, ate his first corn dog yesterday. I was thrilled for two reasons: 1) even though I think corn dogs are disgusting, Owen needs to eat some meat and 2) corn dogs are quick and easy to prepare.



Chris worked his of-duty gig yesterday and is there again today. I'm actually looking forward to him going back to patrol (and his night schedule) because I think it will be easier on me. He'll be home during the day until 6pm to keep the boys entertained.
