Re: Well-Being Wednesday ~ 7/25/12

  • I've managed to gain back 5 lbs thanks to vacation, no exercise, blah blah blah. I've been much better the past 2 days, and got the official ok to do yoga today from my physical therapist. I've been doing stationary boxing, push ups, and lots of ab work in the meantime the past 2 days too. So, I'm getting there! This inability to exercise is KILLING me. I'm still down over 8 lbs since I got serious about all of this, so that's an upside! 

    Took the past 2 nights off from everything and just sat on the couch with a cup of tea, a book or magazine, and chilled the hell out. I needed that. Work is about to go nuts til Aug 9 so I am just taking some deep breaths before the chaos!

    I had gained back 10 pounds over the course of a few weeks after hitting my first big goal, but am starting to get back on track, and am now within a couple of pounds of that goal again. I am down about 30-35lbs since starting this weightloss journey in October. Exercise has been sporadic, but I really want to get back into gymnastics, so I am starting to be better about it. I need to start really tracking my food again, as I find that helps keep me honest and curbs my snacking throughout the day.

    I made it to prenatal yoga last night, for the second week in a row. I did it last time I was pregnant, too, but that time it was more about the physical activity and trying to get my round ligament pain under control. This time, it feels much more mental. I don't really get "me" time anymore, and this hour and 15 minutes out of the house is a really nice reset.

    We are leaving on vacation tomorrow morning, and while it stresses DH out to no end that we have a lot of stuff to do around the house before LO2 arrives, I need this break. We used to travel a lot, and now we don't. At all. I miss it, and I need this trip away so I don't feel so "stuck" at home.

    Seriously though, having tons of breakdowns lately with the thought of going back to work in about 6 weeks. I don't want to leave my baby :(

  • ((hugs)) Lindsay. I know how much it sucks, believe me. But at the same time, once I got used to it, I kind of like the balance of a little me time even if it is work time!
