Workout

So today I attempted my first workout in three months. Up until 32 weeks pregnant I worked out at least six days a week. Towards the end I was running a little more than eight miles a day. Then my blood pressure started to go up. I decided to take the rest of my pregnancy easy (with high blood pressure it is recommended that one rest and put their feet up). So 12 weeks later, today, I decided to attempt to workout. Now as many people know I am an all or nothing kind of girl. Either I do something to an extreme or I do nothing at all making entering into the workout regime a little scarey. I am still breastfeeding and loving it. I do not want to do anything that could affect my supply. Making milk is all about calorie consumption. I am terrified about it dropping. And I am terrified of becoming the workout addicted freak I was.

Also time working out means less time with Braylon, which is something I am not ready for. I am only not with Braylon for maybe five hours a week (to go to class). All I ever want to do is cuddle and hangout with Braylon. Working out takes time away from him. I know that I need to do stuff for myself but I am not sure I am ready yet.  A plus side is that I do not need to lose weight, I am back at pre-pregnancy weight and wore my pre-pregnancy clothes when Braylon was only two weeks old. So maybe I can just put my workouts on the back burner for awhile.

In other news Braylon has inherited the dreaded Esswein stomach (it does not help that Colin also has stomach issues), poor kid. Braylon has not pooped in two days. (you know you have become a parent when you can a full conversation centered on your child's bowel movements). He usually does twice a day so I know I am in for a blow out once he does go. His stomach has been hurting him all night and he has been screaming if he is not on my boob. In the process of writing this he managed to go a little, but is still crying. I wish I could help him get all of the gas out of his tummy, but I cannot. I hope he starts to feel better soon.
