The last few weeks have seen a pretty big transformation for me, in some ways. I am pretty consistently eating the good stuff (the stuff that’s good for me) whenever I can — exceptions include work functions where no other food is available, and, uh… my birthday. (BTW, I am now 39 — totally “pushing 40″ — which leads me into a lot of thoughts about further reproduction, but that’s another entry. )
I’ve also been exercising a LOT more than before. It still isn’t super-intense, but I’ve definitely done 2-3 times a week, 30 minutes each time. Now that I am back to being a (temporary) single parent, I’ve worked out a couple of ways that work for me to exercise: wake up at 6 and get on the treadmill, before C. gets up at 7 (this only works when he sleeps that late); or put him in the jog stroller and walk/run with him to the park, where he gets his exercise.
I think I need more variations in here. I’d love to get on the treadmill while he’s watching TV or otherwise occupied, but I’m afraid he would get too close to the treadmill and get injured (is he old enough to know better by now?). He’s not so great at letting me go about my business without hanging on my legs, sitting on my lap, etc. So I am still thinking about that. (He is sitting on my lap now.)
The other thing I need to work on is portion size. If I eat the good stuff, but way too much of it, I still feel bloated and yucky. So I’ll be thinking about that in the days and weeks to come.
