I do have to say I am so happy for the year of 2010 and so glad it is over. My husband will say the same thing and add it was the toughest year for us. The 4 months of
bedrest and 3 months of unidentified postpartum illness really took a toll on the both of us.
The kids are now 5 months old and I am finally feeling "normal" enough to workout 60-80 minutes a day. I love this time. We take turns hopping on the treadmill in the basement and it is a nice break from the kiddos. I love them dearly but I realized I turned into "that mom". The one who was taking care of everyone but me. Now it is time for me to enjoy life a little.
As for New Years goals..hmm I hate resolutions but I will call them lifestyle changes.
1) I want to keep up on the walking again for at least 300-400 minutes a week. I feel so good and energized afterwards. My tendon is even holding up great. I think the pregnancy was good for my tendon.
2) When spring gets here I want to get out walking the lakes with the kids. Last year was shot to the idea of getting outside with bedrest.
3) Lose the last of the pregnancy weight. Given I don't have much to go but it is stubborn.
4) This one isn't up to me but the working out will help. Pray that I don't get twin skin. I will admit there is more skin than there used to be but I was basically 4 feet around the middle, um a little scary!
5) Find some time alone for the husband and I! Try and start bi-weekly dates. With his schedule and someone to watch the kiddos it isn't to easy.
6) Listen to my tendon while working out.
7) Appreciate the people in my life more.
Here is to a new year! The last time I made a weight loss resolution I lost 30 lbs (2005) and kept it off until the pregnancy. Here is hoping to do it again.
