P.S.

Oh yeah, that last post was from Melanie! And here is a picture from last week of my son, Anthony, at his dad's football practice (he's a coach). I love my little peanut!

Motivation, anyone?

Hi. So here is my first blog (blogging?) ever. Wish me luck. I used to be a super dedicated gym-aholic for the longest time before I got pregant. One or two hours 5-6 days a week. I ran a half marathon the year I got pregnant. I even worked out while I was pregnant, but not to that extreme. And I thought it would be so easy to jump right back into things after I had the baby. I forgot to consider things like daycare at the gym, feeding schedules, nap schedules, and the fact that I am just flat out exhausted after working (part time) and caring for a baby. I am currently running/working out 2-3 days a week, but I am not satisfied with that. I've lost all of my "baby" weight, but things sag that didn't sag before, need I say more? My goal with this blog and with our half marathon is to get back the motivation that I once had, (ok maybe not to that extreme, but at least more than I have now!) and get in better shape. I am going to follow a training schedule that also allows for cross training so that I don't wear out my knees and I don't get bored. Because let's face it, the Atl is not as cold as Boston, but it still gets cold. Last week, I ran 3 miles one day, did yoga another, and ended with an all over workout at home. Let's see if I can improve this week!!!!
