Shredding vs. the Mastitis

Mastitis is trying to get the better of me.  EVERY time I start up an exercise program, a couple weeks in, I seem to get it.  Oh man.  This week was the worst bout of it yet.  It kept me down and out for almost a whole week.  This is the 4th or 5th time I've had it with my Green Bean.  SO,  I'm finished.  NO MORE BREASTFEEDING. And hopefully, NO more Mastitis.

 I'm thinking tomorrow I will get exercising again.

Shred Day #7.  Here I come. . . .

Breast Feeding to the Rescue!

Pregnancy doesn't feel official until you visit the Doctor for the first time. It feels as if I could get there and she would tell me that I'm not really pregnant and that it's all been a dream. The first time I get on the scale and they take my blood pressure always make me a little nervous. Yesterday I thought that I was going to be 225 lbs., the weight I was right before I delivered last time. But I wasn't. I also thought my blood pressure was going to be threw the roof. It wasn't. I hadn't been eating very well or exercising and I was very nervous, but my blood pressure was low and my weight was 191. Happy day.

I don't believe that breast feeding helped me lose any weight, but I DO believe it helped me keep some off in the last few months. Yeah for breast feeding. I'll just have to do it for a while longer to help me keep some weight off. Just until it gets warmer and I can get outside and walk.

I want to do a race this pregnancy. It's one of my things on my bucket list. I think I will just be walking, but I am going to do it. I just need to pick one to enter and then I have a goal to shoot for.

Suggestions?

Almost There

Walking has become my life. As I walk I yearn to RUN. I can't wait until I can again. I'm so excited that I have almost reached 120 Miles this summer. I wasn't sure I could do it, but I'm only 7 miles away. It's so great to accomplish something physical again.

Anyone have some tips to help keep up your milk production while exercising?
