Mommy Mule

So one way I'm trying to get in shape is my carrying my 25lb baby, in an 8 lb backback. We walked about three miles today, at a fast pace. In the middle we stopped at the park and ran around and played. I think that was a good work out. It counts.

I'm very excited cause we are moving in two weeks to a new apartment, which has direct access to a state park and to biking trails. We will be getting bikes, and the little seat on the back for the baby. I LOVE BIKING!! I  perfer it over walking any day. We can do it cause we will have a bottom floor apartment, as well as a storage unit. I so can't wait, I'll probably bike everyday. I might also be joining a gym so that I can start using free weights. I lifted weights for many years, in high school and then in college, it was great, I loved being so strong and having nicely scuplted arms and back, I would wear speghitti strapped tank tops all summer. I want to do that again, so maybe by next summer I will be able to.

The doc has told me that I need to rest more and relax, that my stress is what is causing me to be so sick. Sadly I can't relax, I have to finish my grant proposal and plan our move. Maybe next month I can relax. We'll see. Maybe I can find a yoga class close by, I really miss doing that too.

Anyway, I love all you beautiful women, sorry I have not been posting, I'm just so overwhelmed with a new project at work, and then all the rest. I know you all are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

WOW

Packing around a baby and backpack = 33 lbs!!  I was thinking OMG!!  But holy cow, I have lost that much weight, plus some, so was packing that around daily! 

Glad you get to do the biking thing after the move, that will be awesome!!  Try to relax and take time for you each day.  You are no good to yourself or anyone else all sick and stressed out.

Hugs!!

I miss my backpack

I carried my son around in a backpack until he was three.  I miss that thing!  I'm posting a message on my local freecycle to see if anybody has one to spare.

Oh, and a few minutes off, here and there, please?  Not a whole day - I get it that you have too much to do - but seriously, deconstruct for a half hour once a day! Have you tried any kind of meditation?
