Run.

I have created a fear in my head of starting the whole workout thing up again.Yeah yeah yeah... walking is good for you and that should be enough for now. There is something in my head that says that walking is just not enough, for me at least. When I am with mi madre and she speed walks (normal speed for her=practically running for me) I burn up and sweat and lose my breath and all of that, but lets face it. She's not here to speed walk with me and I can't walk at that pace on my own. It seems to be impossible. I also just don't have that feeling of accomplishment that I get after a good run.

That one time, a week ago, when I was extra ambitious and woke up early to go for a walk with the Buckster, I tried running for about 5 steps. Yes, 5 steps. Immediately I realized two things. One, I need at least 2 bras for the time being. Two, there is a reason they say to wait a while before exercising. It just didn't feel right...down there. (Sorry if that is TMI) Well its been another week...and I am feeling soooo lazy.

But also scared. Because once I start to run, I have to commit. I can't just say that it is too early after baby or that I don't have time. Come on, we all know that I do have time if I decide to do it. I can make time and I can take Josie and Buckley with me easily since my good friend Pam gave me her jogging stroller (fabulous, btw).

Maybe it is still too early since it really has only been 2.2 weeks since I was hugely pregnant, but Josie has an appt tomorrow and I will ask the doc what he thinks then. I am going to guess that he will say "don't kill yourself but go for it". It seems to be the general consensus of my internet research.

I am hoping that by blogging about this, I will get the courage to actually do it!

We've been busy with visitors! So to keep you all entertained, I thought I'd give you some more pictures.

I real post will come again someday. I promise. :)

Check me out... I'm awake. My eyes are OPEN can you believe it?

She's liken' the swing...

Mom. Too close.

It's hot!

This weekend was ridiculously hot. The sun was shining with no relief, the humidity was so high that i felt soaking wet all day, and there was no shade. We went to the Phelps Mill festival which is right by our lake cabin. Walking around was fun, but we could only walk around for a little while each time we checked it out since it was so hot. Poor Josie didn't know what hit her! We spent a lot  of time chillin in the air conditioned living room since this girl hasn't learned how to sweat yet... I can't say I minded having an excuse to be cool inside ;).

We also had some fun keeping her fashionable for the summer.

 

Maybe this will fit better next year...

Celebrity baby

I truly enjoy taking care of Miss Josie. She's such a sweet baby and is already showing so much personality. Every new thing she does makes my heart jump a little, I swear!

I have about 10 weeks left before I am to return to work. I'm trying to find a good routine throughout the day so I don't just completely waste time all day. The noon to three stretch of crappy tv helps since I can't stand all of that junk. Its great for a nap, lunch, and maybe a walk if it isn't too hot.

Oh, did you only come here to see another picture of the celebrity I live with? Understandable.

Toodle loo ;)
