Time to get moving

This past week was a mile-marker for me. I turned 31 years old and Chasen turned a whopping 7 weeks. 7 weeks means that postpartum is over, and I officially weigh 30 pounds more than before I was pregnant. And I wasn't happy with that weight to begin with!

While I was pregnant, I knew that I was gaining a lot of weight but figured I would worry about it once it was over. Now it's time to worry! My body has lost all the weight from "pregnancy" now, all that's left is up to me to lose!

So, this week I have turned a new leaf and am trying to fix bad habits. Today I have made wise food choices, and walked my very hilly neighborhood. But, today is only one day. And of course, wise food choices aren't always the yummy ones! Plus, with my increased appetite it is hard. They tell you in the baby books that breastfeeding burns 500 calories a day. What they don't tell you, is that you need 500+ more calories a day because you are starving! Night time is horrible for me. Not only do I have to wake up every two hours to feed Chase, but my stomach is aching it is so empty all night long!

I have an uphill battle before me, but I am ready to make a change. I am sick up my maternity clothes and want to wear my real clothes! Which, I can't even wear a single thread of at the moment. Wish me luck!
