First off I have to say I've been trying to finish this post and get it on the blog for about 4 days! Pathetic! I really need to take a little more time and finish a post sooner than that! Anyway....
YAY Bootcamp! I'm really excited that my friend Amy has started a boot camp on Saturday mornings. Nothing better than a friend who's lost a bunch of weight and gotten her life back on track whipping your butt into shape at 7:30am on Saturday for 12 weeks! I'm really going full speed into shaping up before getting pregnant again and also just to be healthier for myself and the kids. Of course moms always say I'm doing it for the kids, and of course I want to be more actively involved and be able to always run and play with them more. I'm also doing it for myself and feeling better about myself. My goal is to wear a size that doesn't have an "X" in it. It'll be very satisfying to be able to wak into almost any clothes store and fit into clothes there.
I'm also still having a conflict with myself as to what I want to do when I grow up. I recently started reading "Birthing from Within" by Pam English. I know all of you NCBers (natural child birthers) are wondering what took me so long but I just never make the time to read. It has yet again lit the flame inside of me that I need to reach out to women and help them to discover what they're capable of and that there are other choices for themselves and their babies. I'm just still trying to figure out what the best role is for me...doula? monitrice? child birth educator? go all the way and become a CPM? still not sure.....
I recently went to see an OBGYN after the miscarriage and was pleasantly surprised when he didn't treat me as a leper because I was planning and still planning on having a home birth. He checked everything out and said I'm pretty much back to normal. He wants us to wait at least 3 months before trying again to let my body and hormones regulate. I really liked him and actually felt like I was talking to a partner in my health and pregnancy rather than a dictator telling me how it is and how it's going to be.
So now I'm off to the bike trail with the kids to burn a few more calories. I really need to get a bathroom scale so I can track how much I've lost.
