Before After

hospital food will eat you alive

So, after my last post things got crazy. Lily kept having breathing episodes where she would choke and turn purple, so we went to the ER on our pedi's rec. They admitted us to the hospital where we stayed.. for FOUR DAYS.

Yeah, we didn't see that coming. We FINALLY got home today and Lily is doing very well, but it was a long week with a barage of tests (sono, urinalysis, blood work x2, eeg, ekg, ph probe, telemetry and more) and obviously NO time to work out. When you mix that with having to eat hospital food (I never left the hospital once the entire time we were there), well, that equals 5 extra pounds on your ass.

Shockingly, I knew exactly how much I'd gained and it is ALL in my stomach. I can see every last pound. My jeans don't fit anymore. You can see my "pooch" through my shirt.

It's just not attractive.

So, since the gym is closed tomorrow, I guess I am starting back at the gym on Monday AM.

If I don't pass out from lack of sleep this week, I might try to go for a jog tonight to clear my head.

i only like the hospital desserts

Wow that really sucks. I know how difficult it is to work out when you got emotional stuff going on with your child. It is hard after you have a child because the pregnancy hormones are not completely down yet and combined with lack of sleep, it can be very hard to lose weight. Although for me right after my child was born, my appetite wasn't very good. For a few weeks I only ate fiber one bars, prune juice, and milk and not much else. I just was not hungry. Of course my appetite definitely picked up though which sucks. And the hospital food is just not good--the dessert was the only thing worth eating in my opinion.
