I wrote a long and hopefully thoughtful message and when I posted it the site said sorry we are down. arg!
Jillian, You know Baby X best, just don't let yourself get too worn out trying to make her feel secure and happy in the safety of her mom and dad's arms.
Nicole, It must be hard when smoking was a thing you did with your family to not smoke when you are with them, but definitely not smoking seems to agree with you, down 3.6 pounds!
Amy, It is just a big adustment to move away from your family to a new town, in with your husband for the first time, and to start a new school. Of course it is a bit overwhelming at times! Plus the joy of unpacking can depress even a normally optimistic person. Not much break for you this summer, starting school already. I suppose it will be good for you to get out and meet people and have something to focus on besides how dark that basement apartment is.
Suzanne, it is just easier on your body to exercise when it is lighter. Carrying around the extra weight is slowing you down and making you tired more than you probably realize (it is simply a LOT more work to lug that poundage down to the gym than when you are lighter). Plus I found I was more likely to hurt my knees or feet or back when I was heavier, as they are strained from carrying the excess. So sure, start exercising, but go slow. Don't start out trying to whip yourself into instant perfect shape. I got a stress fracture in my foot once from thinking that was a good idea, and that was months of pain and wearing a soft cast and not being able to do any real exercise at all...
I survived TO and am happy to be done! I however got up the morning after the second day and did NOT go to spin class.... I cooked myself some breakfast instead. Oh welll, I will need to go on my elliptical trainer tonight and make up for it. It is good to mix up the working out anyway, and I've been doing more other things and less spin classes lately.
