It's not running... but I am following the exercizes from this website:

http://babyfit.sparkpeople.com/ask-the-experts-answers.asp?inID=27

I am working on exercize 1 and did it (slowly) for 10 minutes. I won't be moving onto exercize 2 anytime soon.

Went for a family walk.  (Not running, but speed walking).  It is so beautiful out.  I think even Noelle liked the fresh air.

Did my exercize #1 for about 5 minutes.  It's amazing sore your tummy muscles are after having a baby.  Just doing that small little exercize seems like a lot!

FYI:

Noelle has RSV.  I'm in the hospital with her.  We checked in on Thursday and are hoping that she starts to get better soon.

I still can't run...  I have 2.5 weeks until my doctor's appointment and hopefully the day I can start running again.  So...  Today I did yoga.  Let me tell you, it felt good to stretch.  I think sleeping on the love seat at the hospital for 4 night did a number on my back.

Noelle is getting better.  Melanie is having a rough week after missing her mama for the 5 days we were in the hospital.  We are taking it one day (and night) at a time.

Tot-tot... it looks like rain.  And  LOT of it. 

Today I did the yoga again.  It's really helping my back feel better!

Yoga... day 3.  I think I deserve a gold star.  Hmmm... I wonder if I have a gold star sticker in the sticker book I bought to assist me in potty training Melanie.  Is it bad that a sticker would make my day?  I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.

Yoga today (day 4)!  I have been doing an evening stress release yoga dvd, very relaxing.  Yesterday I added another yoga routine before the stress release (one with more movements).  I'm feeling it in my thighs today.  It feels good to feel that burning pain again.  I did both routines again.

Yoga...  :o)

Can I add that I can fit (comfortably) into pants that button? That's worth TWO gold stars!

yoga cubed! :o)

And here's a picture of my girls.  I think Melanie is adjusting well.  I think she is really enjoying mommy and me time (since I'm not currently working).  She needs to get out of the house though.  I'm waiting for healthier people and better weather.  Hopefully soon.  We got a zoo pass for Christmas and I'd like to take them.

Yoga squared.  I didn't realize how much I really enjoyed and almost "need" yoga until I missed it yesterday.  I think it helps me find a bit of peace in my crazy day.
