Back on the Bandwagon

Back on the weight watchers band wagon tomorrow.  I had lost 20 lbs on it last year before all the fertility drugs/failed ivf, etc.  I know it won't come easy this time since we are coming into the holidays but if i can try to lose a few lbs and not gain anything, I think we'll be good.  I am actually at the weight I was when I got pregnant, but I am pretty fluffy.  And I gained 25 lbs with all the drugs and the depression from the first failed IVF.  I would really like to drop some of that gained weight.  I am back on BC Pills too, so I am hoping that doesn't affect my weight loss attempts too much.  

Also I am starting my walk away the pounds videos again tomorrow.  Once I am back to work I will go to the gym on my lunch break but right now, I don't want to take Mason into the gym daycare and expose him to all those germs.  So it's home workouts for now.  Which should work out fine.  I hope.  

DH is harvesting the last of the crops, which is the corn.  Corn harvest SUCKS.  All the corn has to be dried in the dryer and it takes FOREVER.  It's 8 am - 11 pm days of him being gone.  I used to not mind it, I'd just pickup and go.  But now with Mason I don't exactly have that luxury.  We will probably be spending a lot of time at my mom's this week just to get out and away.

Goodbye Elastic Pants!

I officially am saying goodbye to my elastic waist maternity pants.  I had to go up a size to get some to button over that lovely c-section roll, but I'm in them.  One size isn't that bad.  Could be worse.

I had my 6 week checkup appointment on Thursday and got released to start exercising, lifting more than my child, sex (eek!), and resuming normal activities all together.  I could actually go back to work on Nov 15 but I am not going back officially until January 2nd.  I'll be working a little bit from home part time in December for some extra money with it being the holidays and all.  A little extra cash while little man naps isn't that bad of a deal.  I just need to get my house in order before then.

On the home front, Fridge and Dishwasher are both repaired.  I am so glad the dishwasher is fixed.  Handwashing all those bottle parts SUCKS!  I am on a plan over the next week to get this house back in order.  Right now it's a freaking disaster zone.  Partially stuff I never did while pregnant due to lack of energy and just plain being too big!!!  lol.

Little man is good, hard to believe he is 6 weeks old already.  I've been getting better at taking him places.  He has been to Red Lobster, Kohls, and *shudder* walmart.  Walmart was this morning and was against everything I had to take him there, but DH was working and I had to pickup a prescription and we needed Laundry detergent so it was a quick in quick out trip.  He slept the whole time.  I really do have a good baby!  :)
