Baby Steps

So I last left off with discussing how weight watchers was going. Current total is 12 pounds down so far. This last week I also tried to get in more activity. Allow me to discuss.

Since I do not have the time to go to the gym or go to zumba as much as I would like I need to get more creative. I do like putting Grayson in the stroller and going on a walk but with the 98 degree heat I haven't been taking him out because I think he would just get too hot. I did decide to try a workout dvd called Buff Moms. It has four short workouts on it. Which is good if you're short on time. You can do one or all four. I did one and Grayson was still asleep so I decided to do the ab workout. Let me remind everyone that into the second trimester of pregnancy they don't recommend ab exercises. And after a c section it was six more weeks of no working the stomach muscles. So it had been about eight months since my abs got any exercise. I did a plank and felt like I was getting ripped in half. I also made it to the gym twice this week. My stomach has been sore all week long. I think I'll try and go walk around the mall with him so we don't have to deal with the heat.

I'm having trouble deciding what a goal weight should be. I just don't want to be unrealistic and pick some goal weight that I won't be able to maintain. I guess for now I'll just keep on trucking and see where it takes me.  I also have another wedding to be in next year so that is some motivation for me. But I really didn't start weight watchers to lose a few pounds. I did it because I want to change my life. And besides no matter how much weight I lose I'll still be the fattest bridesmaid so I just need to get used to that.

But enough of dieting let's talk about something else. Grayson is getting so big already. He last weighed in at 13 pounds and 24.5 inches. He is also holding his head and chest up better when put on his stomach. As much as I hate getting up early he is usually his happiest in the morning and full of smiles. Above is one of my favorite pictures of him.

I wish I knew what babies are thinking. Especially what they dream about. He sometimes cries in his sleep and smiles too. I'm still just in awe of him. It's hard to think about him being five one day and going to Kindergarten.

Other than Grayson and ww I don't really lead a very exciting life. I'm a little over halfway in Fifty Shades of Grey. And don't worry I will be posting a review when I finish. I'm contemplating signing up for the triathlon at Liberty Lake next year. But not sure how I would train for it. You need time to do it and with a small child I'm not sure how I would. How does one train for the swim without a pool or a gym with a pool?? Do I need a new bike? Or is my current bike okay? What if I don't train for the swim and drown in the lake? It's these kinds of questions that plague me. But I have until the fall to think about it I guess. Not much else to say today. Till next time friends.
