Little OUch

Well, we finally got around to hitting the gym on Tuesday.  MAN OH MAN did I underestimate how out of shape I am.  It kicked my butt HARD when I got on the elliptical, and so did the bike (which use to be so easy for me).  I've been going very slowly with the weights so that I don't get so sore that I can't pick Noah up, or get out of the bed for that matter.  I do have a little bit of soreness, but it's nothing serious.  I have learned that I hate those dang mirrors in the gym!!!  I remember when I use to go work out and be proud to see myself in the mirror....well, lets just say that this was not the case this go around!  Please understand that I'm saying all this with a sense of humor, all of this is not meant to sound down and depressing.  I know where I am as far as fitness level and body type at THIS point, and I can giggle about it and just know that I'm working toward getting back on track.
Now, back to the mirrors in the gym, I glanced over at myself a few times, and was BLOWN away by the size of my butt!!  I mean, I KNEW it was big, but there's nothing quite like getting a view of it like you do in the gym (the bright lights, the huge mirrors!  My butt is so big right now that it is making my pants shorter!!! haha!  I'm totally not kidding.  So, yes, I have junk in the trunk.
Brian and I have also been doing the Atkins diet for about a week and a half now, and that diet does NOTHING for your energy level.  However, it's been tested by both of us before and has worked well for the both of us.  It's not something that I want to continue on long term, however, I think that it will work well as a jump start to get us on track.

I just can't WAIT to fit back into my pre-preggo jeans....to go out somewhere and FEEL like I look nice.  I don't have to look like a fitness model, but I don't want to look like Roseanne Barr either.
Anyway, I'm working on it, and that's a START!  :)
