You’ve been walking a ton too if I’ve noticed correctly! Just because you didn’t do “designated exercise” today doesn’t mean much.
You’ve got a baby at home who I am sure is keeping you active (and tired). Plus, we seem to be the only ones still posting so I think that counts for something!

I agree! We're still trying and I do think that matters. Yes, my baby does keep me busy and tired - oh man, so tired sometimes.

Activity for 2/14/18:
We ran a lot of errands and I also went to the local gym to check it out. I think I'm ready to join and exercise while baby is in childcare. (Wahoo!)

Another low activity day. My husband has been out of town all week for work - I've just been hanging on the last three days trying to get through eat day. Planning to jog this weekend - looking forward to it.

That’s rough. Keep your head up and know that it’s not always this hard. You’ll miss the time your little one is a baby, but it is so much easier as they get older and less dependent on you. You’re on the right track though because you’re cognizant of the struggle and making plans to do what you can given the circumstances. Celebrate those successes.

Thank you for the encouragement and reminder! I try to keep perspective on the situation but there are times when that's difficult. Then there are the times when I'm so frustrated I could cry, but then I think of how quickly she is changing and I cry even more thinking about her growing up. So many emotions!! It's a challenging, wondrous time. It is heartening to know that it isn't this difficult forever.

Low key day today but lots of food prep so that's good.

Food prep is huge! What did you make? I’m always looking for ideas!

I wrote a reply to this 2 days ago - i must not have saved it correctly! I made breakfast casserole for the week. 9x13 pan. 12 eggs. 375°F for about 30-40 minutes. Ive done a couple variations:

- black bean, kale, green pepper, onion, green chile, (little bit of taco seasoning)
- kale, sweet potato, onion, green onion
- spinach, green pepper, ham, onion

We are on a little trip. Yesterday was busy and long (the place we are staying at had the carbon monoxide detector go off - possibly a malfunction, but scary nonetheless.) Today I got 10,000 steps so that's good.

5,000 steps.
