- Breastfeeding: I've read this takes 500 calories a day
- The Boyo is happiest in his stroller or being carried so we've done a lot of walking
- Running: I starting running as soon as I could, not huge distances but I did make myself run a 5k a couple weeks ago
- Walking and running have both been made easier by the Bob Revolution stroller- a total splurge but the front wheel locks for running and unlocks for easy maneuvering and it's our only stroller
- Boyo does not like to sit. He likes to be in motion so I am more active now
- I've become too cheap to go out to lunch at work so I'm eating healthier during the day
- There is just so much to do. Motopop and I had been used to long stretches of couchsitting and tv watching but now things like laundry and cooking have to be shoved into the schedule somewhere which means more time on your feet
- Prenatal yoga helped me stay in shape during pregnancy
Since I am still breastfeeding I am not dieting or making an effort to lose weight. I am looking at this period as a chance for my weight to reset itself to it's ideal level. This could be now or it could be ten to twenty pounds less. I would still be in the 'normal' weight range if I lost more but the Boyo's nutrition it the top priority now.
