Working up the Motivation

Awesome Emma!! Your posts are really very inspiring. I need to get better about consciously making wise choices about weight loss. I mean, I *am* back in my real, non-maternity pants, but that's more from lack of eating (while being occupied with feeding little Townshend) than from wise food choices and working out.

It's been a rougher transition into motherhood than I really expected.. Lack of sleep and the learning curve of breastfeeding has me feeling like my days (and nights) are a cycle of me moving from my bed to the rocking chair and back again. However, he's been sleeping in his bassinet more often (which means I sleep in my bed vs the rocking chair) so I've been feeling more rested myself. This week we took a walk with the stroller 3 times.. so that's something!

My dr said to take it easy 'til 6wks, but we're coming up on that pretty soon. Until then, my goal is to go for walks with the stroller at least 3 times a week, and with all the vertical rocking I do to keep Townshend from snoozing through his feedings, I'm sure my arms will be more toned before too long.
