Been a while
It has been a while, I just don't get chance to read anyone's blog anymore let alone update my own. Jay is really quite a happy baby, but he just doesn't sleep at all during the day and then has a funny time in the afternoon because he is so tired he doesn't know what to do with himself and won't go to sleep. It's actually easier to go out then he at least has a little sleep in the pram.
We went swimming today. He loves the pool. It's done at the hospital and you take you baby and sing songs for about 30 mins in the pool then these ladies look after the babies while we have a workout in the pool for an hour. Well, i did my leg workout at the gym this morning, rushed Jay for an ultrasound then did this pool thing. I have been so exhausted all afternoon all I want is a pizza.
I must admit, the challenge is a real challenge. Mostly I can keep up with my workouts if I do them in the morning, and my diet isn't too bad, but my habit is a red wine in the evening. It really is my saviour. I don't get any arvo naps because jay won't sleep and I must admit juggling him and working out is a challenge in itself. I would have loved to go back to my pre pregnancy bod with my muscles and all that but to be honest I think I'm better off just loosing the weight and looking ok than striving to get that competitors look. It's just way too hard at the moment. I miss out meals here and there and just can't keep organised, but that isn't to say I'm not working hard at it. I'm certainly not eating any fatty foods or chocolate or lollies or anything of that nature. I'm just so tired........................................................................
Reflux
I just knew it.........poor little Jay has reflux. No wonder he has been in so much pain. He is now on medication and they said it wouldn't kick in until about day 3, well lets just say he had his first lot last night and slept the whole night, some this morning and he is like a new child. It is so lovely to see him smiling and laughing again and although he still has some pain its like having a new little boy. Today all he has done is smile, eat, play, sleep repeated. It's great. Not since he has been born has he done this.:)
On the training front all is going great guns. The last few days have been hell with me being so tired and dealing with a screaming baby but I have still managed to train. I am supposed to do cardio every day and weights 3 times per week but to be honest I just can't fit it in, 2 sessions on one day, but on a brighter note I do count walking around the shops for 3 hours with the pram as something, so on the days I do weights I always make sure I'm out with the pram even if its just walking around the shops. Incidental cardio I say!! My nutrition is going great. I'm not on a strict diet so its quite managable and enjoyable, but then again to alot of people it would be a strict diet but its what i'm use to and I do have a wine here and there. Its all about lifestyle.
On another note something strange has happened. I can't stand the site of chocolate, it makes me want to vomit, that and fatty takeaway food. Strange, but hey its good. I was at the gym on the bike reading through woman's day and they had a double page article on chocolate and I couldn't even look at it..........
It begins today
12 week challenge officially begins today. Let's hope I can stick with it!
Jay has been a pain for the last week. Just screaming all the time, not settling at all during the day (ok at night funny enough), lots of gurgling in his tummy, lots of farting so I'm thinking it must be colic and he is in pain. I changed his formula yesterday to a special colic one so will see how that goes. He had a better day today than he has in a long time but still screamed when trying to be settled for bedtime. I have booked in to see a peditrican so if there is something wrong she will tell me and if not then at least I know. There is either something wrong or he has a very determined bad temper!! I didn't really want to change his formula and don't know if I have done the right thing, but I do know that today he wasn't farting and his stomach seemed alot better.
Really makes it hard to get anything done when he just won't settle in the day!
