Ok, so all new moms have found out that it is extremely hard to leave your little one at home with a babysitter. But, per the Navy standards, I have to be back in shape before I leave NC in Nov. So I've been, well literally, working my ass off. Haha I've lost 70lbs since I left the hospital. 60 of those lbs quickly dropped off in the first 8 weeks, then the last ten wanted to hold on for dear life. Naturally, it was only til I started working out three weeks ago that Ive started to feel more energetic and almost back to my normal self again. The only thing missing?? The husband, and of course, about three inches off my butt. Im back to a 10 min mile thank goodness and Ive been working super hard on being able to do as many pushups and situps that I could back in A-School. The next step is gaining more control on my impulse eating and pushing myself to do that extra half mile on the treadmil, and pushing out that extra set of ten situps/pushups.
Meanwhile, monkey (thats my nickname for her lol) keeps growing so much! Shes almost, if not already, 14lbs! She is also sleeping through the night thank goodness, and Ive been able to get her to take two 2hr naps a day. Shes smiling, laughing, and really picking up her head now. Shes such a happy baby, she really reflects her parent's calm demeanor and astute personality. She's really picking up on how to keep her mommy's attention fast!
