Guilty as charged
I feel guilty when I don't post. I always think about it and I always have something to say; but, oh well.
On the weight loss front...
I am back on the wagon. I have picked up (kinda) where I left off on the running. I have spent the last two weeks working up to 3 miles or so (warm up for 4 minutes, run for 30-35 minutes, cool down for 5-6 minutes). I was closer to 4 before I had my exodus, but I'll be there soon. I have also started journaling my food again. I am not being nearly as restrictive on that, but at least writing it down makes me more accountable. My plan is to lose at least 3 pounds by Thanksgiving and and total of 6 pounds by Christmas. That would make me 185 at Christmas. If I could do the strict plan I was following pre-baby, I am sure that I could do better than that. But I don't want to push my luck and give up altogether.
Besides my weight loss goals, I also plan to run a 5k in the spring and a 10k in the fall. I could probably run the 5k now, but I should be able to do it faster by springtime and therefore I will feel better about my efforts. I am thinking about subscribing to Runner's World and still need to find a good resource for finding out about upcoming races. Not really sure where to look. Any thoughts?
On the Jackson front...
We have another tooth. That's right, you heard me. He has two teeth showing and he isn't even four months old yet. It's exciting and scary at the same time. He looks and acts so much more like a little person every day. His sleeping patterns have not been as good as they were at two months, though. He is getting up more and is harder to console. Only wanting to be fed, whether he should really be hungry or not. The problem is, if we don't feed him, he really doesn't go back down. So, in order to maintain my sanity (at least for the days that I have to go to work), he is taking a bottle or two on those tough nights. Frankly, he might be hungry. He is huge for his age. Off the charts in weight and height, so it doesn't really surprise me. A few nights this week, I added rice cereal to his bottles. He seemed to take it fine. But I am really trying to wait until his 4 month appointment next week to get the official go ahead on that. I think that he will be eating jarred foods by Thanksgiving. That is the kind of kid he is.
I also realized that I should go ahead and get him an exersaucer (he already started in his Jumperoo and loves it). I thought I could hold out until Christmas and have someone get it for him as a gift; but I guess I'll have to tell them something else to buy him. Ugh! I don't have room for anything else in the family room. I have the swing, the jumperoo and the activity mat in there and it is getting way too crowded. The dog has no where to lay down, lol.
I'll stop there so I can finish my work and get the heck out of here. Hope everyone is well!!!
