9 Months to Bake It!

Okay, so it's been a little over 9 months since I've posted.  But, I've had a good reason.  I've been busy baking.  Baking a baby, that is!  And yeah, she's a cutie, and I'm happy that we decided to go ahead and have another munchkin and all, but this is a weight loss blog, so I'm going to just briefly note how adorable little Elsy is, and get back to the point of this blog.

Okay, she's pretty adorable. 
I'm pretty cute, too, aren't I?

So now it's been 2 weeks since we've been home, and though I've been running around with the new kid and the 5 year old as much as possible, I just got the go ahead from the doc to start some light exercise.  Woo hoo!  Exercise!!  Boy, I can hardly wait.  (Did you notice the sarcasm there, cause I'm laying it on pretty thick.)  Actually, the thought of immediately becoming pregnant again ran through my mind, just so I wouldn't have to work out for 9 more months.  But alas, I know I just need to suck it up and get going.

So go I went. 

Off to the park so the mega munchkin could play with daddy, while the mini munchkin could come with me in the stroller.  Forty minutes and 2 measly little miles later, I was tuckered out.  It's pretty sad how quick it is to get out of shape, but luckily, I know the way back...it just takes time.

So today I went on another walk, this time for 50 minutes.  I didn't get much farther.  I'm not any faster.  But, that's okay.  I can be the tortoise for awhile.  Slow and steady wins the race, right? 

While I walk I listen to podcasts.  One of my favorite is from Fat2FitRadio.com.  At the end of the show, there's always a quote.  One of my favorites that came recently was, "No matter how slow you go, you still are lapping everybody on the couch." 

So watch your back; I'm about to lap you at 3.2 miles per hour.
