Ready to Run!

Elliptical, Swimming and weights so nice. I am LOVING my new routine at Pro Health. I start by breaking a sweat with 20 minutes on the elliptical. Then I tone my arms on machines, stretch and crunch my abs. Then I bust it out in my new Speedo (with a tight little skirt, ha!) AND new goggles and swim 20 laps. I even bust out the flippers, y'all! HA!! The flippers, although not the most attractive accessory, really burn the thighs...wow. My thighs and arms are really toning up. Every time I pass a mirror I do a double take at my biceps. Hell yes! Ok...I am feeling kind of bad about something but MUST discuss. I KNOW this is going to get me a few judgemental and/or nasty mean emails. Here's the deal. I miss running. I so so so miss running. It is so nice to throw on my running shoes and a sweat shirt, grab the stroller and my i pod, and hit the pavement. 20 Minutes of the cool air hitting my face and listening to dramatic girl power music always does the trick. I despereately need this again in my life! It clears my head, keeps me energized, it is the BEST stress reliever and it really melts the fat. The main reason I do it is for the stress relief. So you are saying to yourself, "What the heck are you getting at, Liz?!" Ok! I'll tell you. I can not run and breastfeed at the same time fool! I might as well be singing, "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard....and their like, it's better than yours.....I could teach you, but I'd have to charge......." Get the picture?? Ouch and ewww. It's something I must consider and decide on my own. I think I'm ready though. I went 9 months of breast feeding with Carter but with George I think 6 weeks is the finish line. BY THE WAY.......George is killing me with his lactose intolerate tummy! I am not allowed ANY DAIRY! Try eating 6 small meals a day that are high in protein with THAT hanging over your head! Close to impossible. I think it's time to bust out the soy formula.
