Dieting Day 1

It is finally calming down here at Busy Body. I'm glad. Life is getting back to a normal pace and I can see daylight once again. I'm still obsessed with getting this house organized and in order, but as Mr. Big reminds me it will all happen in due time. The normal side of me agrees but the obsessive side of me disagrees. It must be done NOW! I'm tackling that beast as I type because I have a stack of boxes in the dining room chanting my name. Aimee, Aimee, Aimee! Shut up! Okay-I'm nuts so sue me.

I am starting my "diet" today. When I mention diet I just mean watching what I eat and exercising. We are members at the YMCA here and I am going to start working out on a daily basis. Working out means treadmill, weight machines, aerobics classes thrown in here or there, you know a beginner's level of working out and then working my way up to more difficult exercise routines. Right now I'm on level whimp. I haven't worked out since before Josh. I quit working out while doing IUI and haven't seen the gym since. Okay, maybe to sign us up for a membership, but that doesn't technically count. My girlfriend is a member too and we're going to start a beginner's spin class together. Her son is two months old now and she's venturing out into work out land with me. Of course, she's 115 lbs sopping wet and I hate her, but that's not the point. I've gotta work on this gut and get back into shape before I go and put another gut on top of the already existing gut. Got me? Good.

So, today the calorie counting starts. I'm not nursing Josh as much because we're weaning. He's taking 1 to 2 bottles per day now and only nursing at night. He actually prefers the bottle over the breast because of the whole instant gratification thing. He quickly figured out that the Avent Size 2 nipple squirts out the good stuff faster than Mommy's nipple. He's a smart one this kid! I'm okay with it. I selfishly would like to get my body back for a short period before another little one takes over my uterus once more. So, we'll see how it goes. I hate dieting. I'm going to be one crabby bitch. Grrrr!

I'm off to eat my bowl of raisin bran! Have a great day and eat a cookie for me, would ya!?
