I love living in the Washington DC area but I don’t love the hot, sticky summers. I think today is the first time it’s started out in the 60′s. It was actually nice enough that Ethan, my mom, Shadow (my mom’s lab mix) and I all ate breakfast on the porch before taking the kids to daycare. I was finally able to go for a walk outside too.

Which brings me to my next point….getting back into shape! All through high school and college I was a competitive swimmer and probably worked out two plus hours every day, but since 2006 I have been working full time and popped out two kids, with Daniel being born Apr 11 and weighing almost 10 pounds. I’ve always been normal weight, but with both pregnancies I gained 50 lbs. Luckily with breast feeding I’m down to 15 lbs above my normal weight, but since I’ve had to wean and am now in a hypothyroid state I’m pretty sure that weight loss is going to stop.

Today I’m going to head over to a Gold’s Gym and check out pricing. My other goal to help my weight loss and fitness keep on track is to do the Army 10 Miler next fall. Just have to start with one foot in front of the other…
