I've had a lot going on the past week or so, which is consequently why I haven't written a blog. So here's an update of what's been happening all squished into one blog post!
Last weekend my cousins came into town (actually Carolina Beach, which is about a 25 minute drive for us) and we had dinner with them on Sunday. It was nice to see some familiar faces and hangout on the beach a little, since the previous weekend was spent in beach less Charlotte, NC.
Last Thursday I finally was able to join Stroller Strides for the month of August! I had an Achilles tendon injury (after a storm door scraped all the skin off) and wasn't able to participate after I had my initial free week of Stroller Strides. If you haven't heard about it, I encourage you to check it out. It's for moms and their kids - each location has a different director, and I guess it's a bit different for everyone. Here in Wilmington, we all meet at the park at 9AM and circle up to warm up, and get to know each other before heading off for our hour of walking OR running and resistance training at each station in between. I've participated three days this week and I'm really proud of myself!
Since we've started Slade has been going through a lot of changes! He will be seven months old tomorrow, and everyday he is doing something new. He used to nap 9-10am, 12-1pm, and 3-330pm everyday. Now he is napping for 20 minutes on the way home from Stroller Strides and having an hour long nap around 2pm. Another reason for my lack of consistency with this blog. It's time consuming chasing around a baby!
We've also been baby proofing since Slade is literally on the edge of crawling. He can make a few "steps" and then falls onto his belly, where he then scoots around. He's been rocking back and forth and after talking to a few moms at Stroller Strides I hear it's only going to be a matter of days. Maybe I'm a little OCD but I plan on wiping down all the baseboards and doing a thorough cleaning before the end of the week. I've already re arranged his room (more space for crawling) and DE junked our house. Needless to say, it's a LOT of work lately taking care of my home, child, and myself which leaves little room for blogging, facebooking, picture taking, tweeting, or anything else that doesn't involve a broom or sleeping.
So please bear with me while I organize my life.
I will be doing a post on Sept. 1st on the changes made to my body after one month of Stroller Strides, if any. If you remember, my goal was to get down to 120 by my birthday (September 26th) lets just say- I don't have very much to go and I'm excited to show the results!!!! I've been totally slacking on my food journal which is probably why I haven't seen more of a change yet- it's really important to hold yourself accountable for what you put in your body. So here's to hoping I will have some extra time today to get back into the swing of things!
