Those last 10 pounds...
So, the weight is just not coming off like the last time, go figure. I can't remember how fast I lost the weight the last time, but I think it was faster than this. In fact, I gained about 28 pounds, and then lost close to 50
. All with nursing and walking. Granted, I did not walk quite as much as I did the last time, and have hardly walked since giving birth, but darn it, why can't it all be the same :)?? So, in an attempt to get off my butt, I've signed up with Stroller Strides. It's a group of moms who meet up with a trainer and walk/run, and do arm/leg/ab workouts. All this and you bring your kids, hence the "stroller." It's really great so far. A very supportive work out environment, and the kids play at the playground while the moms do their workout. You can stop to nurse if needed, and babies crying aren't a big deal. I am also
doing Wii Fit thanks to my mom who sent it to us since we can't find it anywhere on the island. I don't know how great of a workout it ends up being, but it sure is fun. I've discovered that I am very, very bad at all of the balancing "games." Tiff would probably not be surprised since they take coordination. However, I am good at the yoga and strength "games." On another "wellness" note, Whole Foods opened today (at 7am) in Hawaii. The first one! Since natural and organic products are severely lacking here, I was extremely excited for this event. It turned out to be all that I had hoped, with so many products that you can't find anywhere else, and all of my most favorite things. I worried that they would not ha
ve a lot of what I am used to seeing due to shipping costs, but it was all there. Greek yogurt with honey, dolmas, and so much more! The most exciting thing is the great selection of organic jarred, fresh and frozen baby food. All that I missed with Nanea in my quest to feed her as organic-ly as possible. No, I did not go at 7am, though trust me, I would have if I could have, but Makena had her 2 month check-up today (more on that later). But, we went right after, and although the crowd outside almost made me turn around to go straight home (I HATE crowds!!), I took a deep breath and dove in. Am I glad I did. It was extremely insane in there, but the check out lines were efficient and fast. I will get there at 7am some day soon so I can really enjoy the store...
