Just a Few Tidbits

1.   I’m crabby.  There’s a blizzard going on outside and I’m sick and tired of driving in this shit.  Not only did I have to drive in it but when I got to work I took a major digger in the parking lot at work.  I am not typically a clumsy person but now my hip hurts.  At least no one witnessed this digger.  I felt like an idiot.   

2.  I received an email at the end of last week from Netflix graciously letting me know that season 8 of Weeds was now on instant.  Yay!!!  So what did I do this weekend may you ask?  I watched the entire season.  I had to – it was the last season.  I was not exactly happy with the way then ended it BUT what can you expect from a drug dealing mother of 3?  I’m surprised a show about selling pot went on for 101 episodes.  But I’ll miss it.   

3.  Weird tidbit… My hands are so dry that they feel like they are drying out from the inside out.  It's an odd feeling and I'm not fond of it.  And it’s not the outside of my hands.  It’s my fingers and palms.  They are super cracked and almost wrinkly – like I was in the bath too long.  And they hurt.  I’ve been lotioning up a million times a day and it seems to be helping with the pain but I’m starting to get worried.  Hopefully they don’t get worse.  I’m sure it’s from washing my pump 7 times a day.  Dish soap must be harsh on your skin!  

 4.  I weighed myself this morning and I am only 1 pound away from my pre-pregnancy weight!  1 pound!  Whoot whoot!!!!!  I know I’ve said this before but breastfeeding is the BEST weight loss program there is!

Poor me

Having a baby really changes your body.  I'm sure you are all aware of that having had a baby or not.  As if having a stretched out stomach and still looking pregnant a month after having a baby isn't enough on the ego, I also have to deal with crazy hormones and looking like a teenager again.  My poor poor ego has sure taken a hit.  It didn't bother me as much right after I had Remy but as the days go by it's bothering me more and more.  I understand that my body will probably never be the same as what it was but I just want to get to the point where I'm comfortable with my body and I don't feel the need to hid out in my house and not let anyone over to see me.  It's just depressing...  However, I love my Remy more than life itself and if I had to stay in this body at its current state forever I would because he is worth it.

So, enough of the complaining, it's time to do something about it!  I attempted to start working out last week but it didn't go so well.  I got one day done and then got half way through the next day's workout and Remy started up.  Then the last few days have been really busy and I haven't found time to squeeze in my 1/2 hour workout.  I've also been eating pretty bad lately.  But tomorrow is my birthday and my goal is to start exercising at least 4 days a week and eat healther starting after my birthday.  So I guess I start on Thursday!

I thought that maybe if I wrote about my body issues and my goals I would stick with it.  I'm hoping by Thanksgiving I feel a lot better about myself and really really hoping that by Christmas I'll be "comfortable" with my body.  Maybe if I'm lucky I'll eventually fit into all my clothes again.  But I know that might be unrealistic.  Wish me luck!
