Enough already
It’s been a while. I’ve decided that it’s ok if I go months without writing a post or writing anything really. I have a lot going on and part of the beauty of writing is the joy it brings. If it feels too much like work and a drag, then I shouldn’t do it. That’s my new perspective since having the baby. Priorities are somewhat different.
Ha! I think it has even been a month since I wrote the first part of this blog.
I may have been suffering from a little postpartum depression. Not a lot but enough that it has affected my activities somewhat. Or it could just be regular stress. Baby. Work. Money. Time. That’s enough for anyone.
Poor Pete. He’s been working a lot, gearing up for the summer. He warned me April and May would be crazy but it feels like the craziness of the carowinds days and leaves me clinging tightly on the days we do have off together. He’s been so great with the baby, helping out around the house, and dealing with my postpartum roller coaster. I need to let the poor man have some time to himself but it is hard. Being aware of it is half the battle I suppose.
In other news, I ran my first 5k race since having the baby. It felt great. I ran with a new TIFL athlete. We talked during our 2/1 intervals and I didn’t once beat myself up for being slow and out of shape. I had a great time. We even sprinted at the end. Not my super fastest but I am carrying an extra 40lbs. Weightloss and training posts will probably be a new category on this blog going forward. It’s such a struggle and writing about it will help me.
Cheers!
