At first, I found that I was missing Madelyn more than usual because being away got me out of my routine and for some reason that made me want Madelyn here more than usual. One of the first few days that I was in Florida was definitely one of my worst (emotionally) that I have had in awhile. Everything hit me at once - Madelyn not being here and being frustrated with the current state that my body is in. I often pout about how I gained weight while I was pregnant and now I'm left with all of this "baby weight" without a baby to show for it. I need to get over it and just concentrate on being healthy.
I jogged 2 times while I was on vacation. Both times my goal was 25 minutes of jogging without stopping. The first attempt would have to be considered a disaster. The first 8 minutes were great and then I hit a wall. It was hot and humid and I was just not in the mood to really push myself. I ended up adding in about 7 minutes of walking along with the 25 minutes of jogging. The next day, I was determined to do better. Jim came out with me and after about 5 minutes I told him to go ahead. He can actually run so I didn't want to hold him back at my snail-like pace. I ended up completing the 25 minutes and it felt great! In a few weeks I should be able to go 30-45 minutes without a break.
We spent the last few days at Disney World. It was so much fun watching Lilly meet Mickey and Minnie and riding all of the rides.
We return home tomorrow. Lilly can't wait to play with her cousins! I'm looking forward to getting back to reality. I'm definitely feeling refreshed which is exactly what I needed.
I am glad that you were able to get away. Missed you while you were gone and am happy you had a good time. love you!
