I work out..

Wow, I am one sore Kristen!!! I absolutely hate seeing pictures of myself these days. I went from chubby, to just plain fat and I hate it! I feel like dieting is just too hard right now since I have to actually eat extra due to breastfeeding so for now I'm going to try exercising until I'm done breastfeeding and then I'm going to try a real diet. Well, to start off my exercise routine I did Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. I did it once shortly after I had Seeley, but I got so sore and Seeley was a much more demanding baby so I only did it that once. Well, I started it this past Wednesday and I can tell I'm even more out of shape then I was the first time I did it. I woke up Thursday feeling crazy sore, but knew if I didn't keep going I probably wouldn't keep up with it so I did it again. OMG! Well, Friday I woke up the most sore I have ever been in my entire life. Seriously, every single muscle is sore.. my calves, my thighs, my biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders... you get the point. Also, to top things off , TMI alert, I got my period. Not only my period, but my very first since getting pregnant with Seeley. It was pretty depressing! My last period was August 27th 2011. As you can imagine it was pretty amazing to go a year and a half without having a period. I'm actually kind of wondering if me exercising helped trigger it. Well, because of my sore body and my period I took a break. Although, today I made sure to jump back on the wagon and exercised again. I know I have only done it for 3 days, but I feel so accomplished and really hope that I can keep it up. I seriously can't wait for Spring & Summer because I plan to go on walks. That way I can do my 30 day shred for toning and use the walks for cardio. I eventually want to get where I can go for jogs, and where I can enjoy running again. I used to love to run and when I was younger I remember always talking about wanting to run a marathon. Well, I think that if I can get back into running, perhaps as a way to reward myself I can do one of the disneyland half marathons. Twice a year Disneyland does a half marathon and they sound amazing!! You get to run through the park and go backstage and you even get to run through Angel Stadium, and also along the way there are disney characters that you can stop and take your pictures with. Obviously, that is my kind of Marathon! So I'm pretty serious about my future walks, so as soon as the temperature is appropriate if anybody is up for it let me know and we can go on walks together! Anywho, I can see Seeley stirring on the baby monitor so I better kick it!
