Body after Baby update #3

Well it's been a while since I have checked in on how I am doing. We are nearing 6 months with Logan in a few days (where has the time gone?) and each day I am feeling more and more like myself. (I think I'm just getting used to less sleep and less time for me- welcome to motherhood)

Since the last check in I really worked hard on tracking my food intake. I utilized Sparkpeople.com and made it a priority to log in my foods and recipes so I really could have an accurate look into what I was eating. I worked hard to get my breakfast and lunch calorie counts down so I could eat more and stay fuller longer (example- instead of a high calorie oatmeal bowl, I added less toppings and had a yogurt on the side). I noticed that I started eating more of the same foods for breakfast and lunch (2 or 3 things that I swap in and out for the week). For dinners we made a list of healthy, safe (calorie wise) and easy dinners to swap in and out leaving one day for a new recipe and one day for a dinner out. Not the most exciting of food times over here but I think it is working well for me and it has been taking me less time to get food on the table. Win, win in my book.

I also finished up the first month of Insanity. The "easy week" pretty much lined up with our trip to Canada so instead of stressing myself out during our trip- I took the week off and enjoyed time with family. We tried to get in a few walks and I attempted to not eat myself until stuffed since we went out to eat quite often on the trip.

I am now back into half of my pants (woo hoo) and working hard to fit into the other half.

Yesterday, I went for my first run with our BOB stroller. I drove out to the Windham Rail Trail not too far from us because its a smooth, paved running trail. There were so many people out running, biking and rollerblading. I was so happy to be out running that I went a little too far and ended up rocking out 3 miles. Let me tell you that running with a stroller is no joke. I am sore Everywhere today! :) Looking forward to more of these.

Here are my stats-
