Morgan is here...let the fun begin

Well, my sweet little angel is here. I'm so happy, but now begins the fun of getting "BACK" into shape.

 Morgan Alicia was born February 6, 2012 and weighed 8 lb 2 oz. 

 She is about 5 weeks old now, and I'm trying to start exercising again.  I am nursing and I feel more hungry than I did when I was pregnant, so eating is definitely going to be my struggle (like usual.)


I understand I need to eat more calories, but I've not been doing a great job of eating healthy calories. I'm cutting sugar out almost entirely (starting right now...) and hopefully that will help.


As for the exercising goes... I'm healing a little slower this time, and haven't wanted to overdo it too much, so I've mostly been keeping it pretty basic. We did buy a new Eliptical though, (A schwinn 420...which I've loved so far) so that will be nice. We got it put together last Saturday, and I am so glad to be able to do it from my own house.  (4 kids is rough with scheduling extra things like exercise!)  I haven't really weighed myself and don't really want to. I'm just going to focus on eating better and exercising and we'll see how it goes.  I know I did end up gaining about 25 lbs this pregnancy, which I was happy with. Let's just hope that it doesn't take me the same amount of time (9months) to get it back off!  Wish me luck girls.  Hope to hear from you all soon!
