well, while i’m waiting to post beautiful pictures of princess fiona and tell you all about our holiday season i will write about something that I don’t want to post any pictures of =) flab. not flabulous flab…just flab. Losing weight has never been an easy thing in my family…my sister and i joke that we were built to plow fields…so why I thought losing baby weight would be different I’m not sure. Of course it started out great…I lost a ton of weight in the first few months and slowly more and more there after….but then it stopped. The unfortunate thing is that it didn’t exactly stop where it started. Coupled with lot’s of stress, little sleep, little to no exercise, and less and less breastfeeding soon the scale is going to do worse then just stop…it’s going to get up and go in the wrong direction.
So today…along with probably thousands of other people (being january 3rd and all) I joined Weight Watchers…and sadly by 1 p.m. I’d already used most of my points……broccoli for dinner tonight for me!
For Christmas Greg’s parents gave us a membership to a swim/athletic/family club very near to our house. It’s different then your average gym, focuses on swimming and family events. There is a park for kids and an indoor and outdoor pool that is open year round. We go on Saturday for our orientation and passes.
I’m hoping that these two things combined will get that scale moving in the right direction.
So wish me luck, and hopefully by summer my love handles will have taken their bags and moved on.
Good luck! If you are able to swing the triathlon training that should help immensely!
It will happen.. be gentle with yourself. Your baby isn’t even a year old! 
It takes time.
